About Us

We welcome you to District 1 of the Area 9 Florida North Al-Anon Family Groups and hope that you will find in this fellowship the help and friendship we have been privileged to enjoy.   

​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.

Al-Anon is:
  • A FELLOWSHIP of relatives and friends of alcoholics who believe their lives have been affected by someone else's drinking.
  • A MUTUAL SUPPORT recovery program based on the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)
  • A NONPROFESSIONAL fellowship where members share their experience, strength, and hope to solve their common problems.
