Read the following: "The Alanon Family Groups are a fellowship of
relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength
and hope in order fo solve their common problems. We believe
alcoholism is a family ilness and that changed attitudes can aid
recovery. Alanon 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. Alanon is self-supporting through its own voluntary
contributions. Alanon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics.
We do this by practicing the 12 Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort
fo the families of the alcoholics and by giving understanding and
‘encouragement to the alcoholic.”
Take turns reading the steps found in the back of
any daily reader.
