CDS Ashley Ridge - Substance Abuse & Addiction Treatment Services
THE AL-ANON FAMILY GROUPS
 
"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.
 
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." Taken from the Suggested Al-Anon Preamble to the Twelve Steps.
 
CDS Ashley Ridge hosts an Al-Anon meeting every Tuesday at noon and everyone is welcome.
