What to Expect at an Al-Anon Meeting
There is a message of hope in the Welcome used at Al-Anon meetings. Along with the Preamble to the Twelves Steps which follows, it gives a clear picture of Al-Anon's way of helping. "This is Al-Anon, pg 2"
Al-Anon Suggested Welcome
The Al-Anon/Alateen program is based on the Twelve Steps (adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous) which we try, little by little, one day at a time, to apply to our lives, along with our slogans, and the Serenity Prayer. The loving interchange of help among members and daily reading of Al-Anon/Alateen literature thus make us ready to receive the priceless gift of serenity. "This is Al-Anon, page 3"
Al-Anon Suggested Preamble
The Al-Anon Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope in order to solve their common problems. We believe alcoholism is a family illness and that changed attitudes can aid recovery. Al-Anon is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organization, or institution; does not engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any cause. There are no dues for membership. Al-Anon is self supporting through its own voluntary contributions. "This is Al-Anon, page 3-4"
Al-Anon Suggested Closing
Whatever your problems, there are those among us who have had them too. If you keep an open mind, you will find help.
You will come to realize that there is no situation too difficult to be bettered and no unhappiness too great to be lessened.
