​
Statement of Purpose Al-Anon’s Suggested Preamble to The Twelve Steps.

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.

Help and Hope...

                 
We understand as few others can.

Help and Hope

Mississippi Al-Anon Family Groups

Help is here for the asking. Please take a moment to ask yourself these questions:
 “Are You Troubled By Someone’s Drinking?” or “Did You Grow Up With a Problem Drinker?”, If you identify with some of these statements, it is important to know that help and hope for friends and families of alcoholics is just a phone call away. 

In Al-Anon we learn individuals are not responsible for another person’s disease or recovery from it. Click here to learn about Detachment.

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.
