Al Anon Family Groups 46 Morindo Drive, Kirwan, Queensland 4814

Al Anon Family Groups is an establishment and point of interest located in Kirwan, Morindo Drive, 46, Australia. We understand that alcoholism, alcohol abuse, or problem drinking can have a profound impact on families, not just in Australia but worldwide. At Al Anon Family Groups, we offer a confidential and anonymous space for individuals who are concerned about someone else's drinking.

Our primary goal is to help families and friends of alcoholics recover from the effects of living with someone whose drinking is a problem. We provide a range of programs and support services tailored to meet the needs of those affected by alcoholism. Additionally, we have a dedicated recovery program called Alateen specifically designed for young people who are affected by the problem drinking of a parent or family member. Alateen groups are sponsored by Al-Anon members and offer support to teenagers in need.

Our program of recovery is adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous and is based on the Twelve Steps, the Twelve Traditions, and the Twelve Concepts of Service. We believe that by following these principles, individuals can find healing and regain control over their lives. The only requirement for membership is that there be a problem of alcoholism in a relative or friend. We are not affiliated with any other organization or outside entity, ensuring that our focus remains solely on providing support and assistance to those in need.

With Al-Anon meetings held in over 130 countries, and approximately 26,000 Al-Anon and Alateen groups worldwide, we have created a global network of support for individuals seeking help. In Australia alone, there are meetings available in every state, making it easily accessible for those who are looking to connect with others facing similar challenges.

To further assist individuals in determining if Al-Anon or Alateen could be beneficial for them, we offer podcasts on our website. These podcasts are hosted on the World Service Office website and provide valuable information for newcomers. Additionally, we have a collection of YouTube videos showcasing community service announcements related to our cause.

Our publications are based on the shared experiences of our membership and their willingness to apply Al-Anon's principles to their lives. Available in approximately 30 languages, our literature serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance and support.

We understand that taking the first step towards recovery can be daunting, which is why we have a frequently asked questions page on our website. By reading through this page, individuals can gain a better understanding of what happens at a meeting. If there are any additional questions, our team is always available via email to provide further assistance.

Remember, you are not alone, and there is always hope. If you are troubled by the drinking of someone close to you, we encourage you to explore our website and consider joining our supportive community at Al Anon Family Groups. Together, we can find healing and offer hope.
