Al-Anon Contra Costa

For some of us, Al-Anon was a last resort: we were in pain, we were desperate, and some of us had abandoned hope. We came to our first meeting, and we kept coming to find relief from the terrible pain we had grown accustomed to feeling. We knew our suffering was related to someone else's drinking, and we knew that we were unable to lead a normal life because of it.

Al-Anon is an organization of mutual support groups made up of peers who share their insights and experiences as equals. Our personal situations may differ, but we share as equals because of what we have in common: We have been affected by another person's drinking.

At our group meetings, we share our experience, strength, and hope with one another, keeping the focus on ourselves and the Al-Anon tools of recovery.
