Welcome to Al-Anon District 15
Serving the Oakland-Hayward area
Strength and Hope for Families and Friends of Problem Drinkers
Al-Anon's Purpose
- To help families and friends of alcoholics recover from the effects of living with the problem drinking of a relative or friend. Similarly, Alateen is our recovery program for young people. Alateen groups are sponsored by Al-Anon members.
- Our program of recovery is adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous and is based upon the Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, and Twelve Concepts of Service.
- The only requirement for membership is that there be a problem of alcoholism in a relative or friend.
- Whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not, Al-Anon/Alateen offers hope and recovery to all people affected by the alcoholism of a loved one or friend.
- Al-Anon/Alateen is not affiliated with any other organization or outside entity
Alateen
- Is part of the Al-Anon fellowship designed for the younger relatives and friends of alcoholics through age nineteen.
- Members conduct their own meetings with the guidance of an Al-Anon sponsor.
- Follows the same Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, and principles as Al-Anon
