Welcome

We welcome you to the Georgia, District 3, Al-Anon & Alateen website. We hope you will find the site helpful & informative. It is our hope this site will lead you to an Al-Anon or Alateen meeting so that you can find in this fellowship the help and friendship we have been privileged to enjoy.

We who live, or have lived, with the problem of alcoholism understand as perhaps few others can.  We too, were lonely and frustrated, but in Al-Anon we discover that no situation is really hopeless, and that it is possible for us to find contentment and even happiness whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not.  We urge you to try our program.  It has helped many of us find the solutions that lead to serenity.  So much depends on our own attitudes, and as we learn to place our problem in its true perspective, we find it loses its power to dominate our thoughts and our lives.  The family situation is bound to improve as we apply the Al-Anon/Alateen ideas.  Without such spiritual help, living with the alcoholic is too much for most of us.  Our thinking becomes distorted by trying to force solutions and we become irritable and unreasonable without knowing it.  The Al-Anon/Alateen program is based on the Twelve Suggested Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, which we try, little by little, one day at a time, to apply to our lives along with our slogans and the Serenity Prayer.  The loving interchange of help among members and the daily reading of Al-Anon literature thus make us ready to receive the priceless gift of serenity.  Like AA, Al-Anon is an anonymous fellowship.  Everything that is said here, in the group meeting and member to member, must be held in confidence.  Only in this way can we feel free to say what is in our hearts and minds, for this is how we help one another in Al-Anon.

Al-Anon members are people, just like you, who are worried about someone with a drinking problem.
