- "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."*
- Alcoholism is a family disease. Living with the effects of someone else's drinking is too devastating for most people to bear without help. In Al-Anon/Alateen we learn that individuals are not responsible for another person's disease, or recovery from it. We let go of our obsession with another's behavior and begin to lead happier and more manageable lives, lives with dignity and rights; lives guided by a Power greater than ourselves.
- What's in this Website
- In this website you can review the Steps and Traditions of Al-Anon Family Groups which are used around the world. Resources can be found that will assist you to find help if you live with or have to relate to a problem drinker or drug user. You can check the meeting times for the Hilltoppers Al-Anon Family Group. There is an Online Meeting that will put you in touch anytime, anywhere. The God Box offers an opportunity to turn over and release any situation, no matter how big or small. Read the Hilltoppers AFG Group Conscience Guidelines to gain an idea of how the group is run. Send us your thoughts, needs, or just say hi from the Contact Page. An introduction to the Alateen program guidelines and outline is available in the Alateen section of the website.
