Troubled by someone else’s drinking?
We’re here for you.

The Al-Anon Family Groups are a fellowship of people who have been affected by the drinking of relatives or friends, past or present. We come together to share our experience, strength, and hope and to help each other solve the problems we have in common. We understand alcoholism as a family disease and we believe that our own recovery from the effects of alcoholism, and the resulting changes in our attitudes, can benefit not only us but often those around us as well. 

FIND A MEETING

Al-Anon and Alateen are not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organization or institution. We do not engage in any controversy and we neither endorse nor oppose any cause. We charge no dues or fees but support the program though our voluntary contributions. 

iN-pERSON MEETINGS

We now have an in-person meeting in El Sobrante on Wednesdays at 7pm. See our “In-person Meetings” page for details, and a complete list ot groups in our district currently meeting in person,.

 

New to Al-Anon?

Many of us were frightened when we walked into our first meeting.

Once inside, we found support and fellowship, respect for confidentiality, and permission to “take what you like and leave the rest.”

We welcome you to join us and learn more.
