Is someone else's drinking affecting
you?
There is a message of hope and help in the program of
Al-Anon Family Groups.
Women, men and children who were once lonely, lost and
helpless because of someone's drinking, today have courage and
confidence in Al-Anon and Alateen. They have discovered friends who
understand, as few others can. They have found the tools to help
themselves - which can indirectly help their alcoholic relatives or
loved ones. Contentment, and even happiness, is possible whether the
alcoholic is still drinking or not.

Alateen
Alateen is a support group for teens
who are affected by the drinking or addictions of family or friends.

God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I
cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to
know the difference.
Al-Anon Is
A worldwide
organization that offers a program of recovery for the families and
friends of alcoholics whether or not the alcoholic seeks help or
even recognizes the existence of a drinking problem.
Members give and receive
comfort and understanding through a mutual exchange of experiences,
strength and hope. Sharing of similar problems binds individuals and
groups together in a bond that is protected by a policy of
anonymity.
Al-Anon Is Not
A religious
organization or a counseling agency. It is not a treatment center
nor is it allied with any other organization offering such services.
Al-Anon Family Groups, which includes Alateen for teenage members,
neither express opinions on outside issues nor endorse outside
enterprises. No dues or fees
are required. Membership
is voluntary, requiring only that one's own life has been adversely
affected by someone elses's drinking problem.
Welcome to
the Walla Walla Al-Anon/Alateen
Website.
We're Glad You're
Here!
In Al-Anon/Alateen We Learn
Not to suffer because of
the actions or reactions of other people;
Not to allow ourselves to
be used or abused by others in the interest of another's
recovery;
Not to do for others what
they could do for themselves;
Not to manipulate
situations so others will eat, go to bed, get up, pay bills, not
drink;
Not to cover up for
anyone's mistakes or misdeeds;
Not to create a
crisis;
Not to prevent a
crisis if it is in the natural course of events.
Al-Anon Purpose
Al-Anon has but one
purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing
the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of
alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to
the
alcoholic.
