Meeting Types

Meetings are confidential, and we do not disclose whom we see or what we hear at meetings to anyone. Al-Anon meetings are open to anyone who wants to recover from the effects of someone else’s drinking.  Those new to Al-Anon are encouraged to attend at least six meetings before making the decision if Al-Anon is right for them.

The fundamentals don’t change but some meetings focus on specific themes such as:

• Beginners

• 12 Steps

• 12 Traditions

• Parents

• Adult Children

• Electronic (Zoom Only)

• Hybrid (Zoom and In-Person)

• Friends & Families Only - Limited to members and prospective members. These are persons who feel their lives have been or are being affected by alcoholism in a family member or friend.

• Families, Friends and Observers - For anyone interested in the family disease of alcoholism. Some groups invite members of the professional community to hear how the Al-Anon program aids in recovery.
