About Al-Anon
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. 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.

Welcome, Newcomers!
Feel free to call the Lancaster/Lebanon District 22 phone service who will connect you to an Al-Anon member. Meetings occur daily; check the meeting list to find one closest to you. We recommend that newcomer’s go to six different meetings as close together as possible. If you attend a meeting that doesn’t seem right for you, please try another one.
