Discover the Power of Al-Anon and Alateen Literature!
For decades, Al-Anon and Alateen literature has provided hope and guidance to families and friends of alcoholics. Our literature began as booklets and pamphlets sharing personal stories and practical support. Today, it continues to uphold our spiritual principles. Our literature is conceptually approved by the World Service Conference to ensure its message of strength and unity.
Visit al-anon.org/shop to explore our literature today!
Falling Back To Standard Time!
As Daylight Saving Time ends in North America on Sunday, November 2nd, Al‑Anon Family Groups Mobile App meeting times might be temporarily affected. The WSO is working diligently to ensure a smooth transition and overcome the challenges of managing these biannual changes. Your patience is greatly appreciated, and members can rest assured that we will monitor the meetings throughout the day to quickly resolve any issues. We encourage participants to double-check meeting times within the app close to the meeting time.

How Do I Keep the Focus on Myself?
When I first came to Al‑Anon, it was hard for me to tell where I ended and my alcoholic loved one began. Now, I’m realizing that the more I care for myself, the better others care for themselves.
October’s Member Blog topic is, “How do I keep the focus on myself?” As always, you can also write about Al‑Anon’s three Legacies. This month features Step Ten, Tradition Ten, and Concept Ten.
