Al-Anon and Alateen are international organizations jointly known as Al-Anon Family Groups with a membership of over half a million men, women and teens, providing a twelve-step program of recovery for friends and family members of alcoholics. Al-Anon is for adults within the program whereas Alateen is for young people (ages 12 to 20). Al-Anon was formed in 1951 by Lois Wilson, wife of Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill Wilson. She recognized the need for such an organization as family members living with AA members began to identify their own pathologies associated with their family members' alcoholism. In the USA, Al-Anon is organized as a 501 non-profit organization in many states. In Lois's Story, she explained why, as the spouse of an alcoholic, she also required treatment.

  • Al-Anon/Alateen Groupes Familiaux s'adresse aux membres de la famille et aux amis des alcooliques, que ces derniers boivent encore ou non; il n’est pas destiné aux alcooliques eux-mêmes. Les Groupes Familiaux Al-Anon comprennent Al-Anon pour les adultes et Alateen pour les adolescents. Les groupes pour Adultes Enfants d’Alcooliques font partie d'Al-Anon depuis la Conférence mondiale de 1984. A distinguer des groupes EADA : « Enfants Adultes de familles Dysfonctionnelles ou Alcooliques » et des ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics) qui ne se réclament pas d’Al-Anon. Le fonctionnement des Groupes Familiaux Al-Anon est basé sur le programme en Douze Etapes des Alcooliques Anonymes. Alateen s’adresse aux jeunes entre 12 et 18 ans affectés par l'alcoolisme d'une autre personne. Le programme est adapté à des adolescents. Les réunions Alateen sont en général organisées par les adolescents eux-mêmes. Les membres Alateen tiennent leurs propres réunions, guidés par un membre Al-Anon adulte, ce qui est très important pour qu'un groupe Alateen soit validé et pour favoriser la croissance de ses membres.

  • Al-Anon/Alateen is een twaalfstappenprogramma voor partners, familie, vrienden en kinderen van alcoholisten. Alanon/Alateen beschouwt alcoholisme als een ziekte waar de alcoholist zelf verantwoordelijkheid voor moet nemen. Al-Anon/Alateen helpt vrienden en familie in te zien dat emoties als overbezorgdheid, woede, ontkenning en schuldgevoelens ten opzichte van de alcoholist, die door hun gevoeld worden, alleen maar ten nadele van hunzelf werken, en geen effect hebben op de alcoholist, noch de situatie verbeteren. De nadruk wordt verlegd van de alcoholist naar het eigen leven. Eigen emotionele lasten worden verlicht door ervaring, kracht en hoop te delen met anderen. Al-Anon is voortgekomen uit Alcoholics Anonymous, en werd in 1951 in New York uit 56 bestaande groepen georganiseerd door Lois Wilson en Anne B. In 1957 werd de eerste bijeenkomst van Alateen gehouden voor kinderen van alcoholisten. Nederlandstalige Al-Anon bestaat er sinds 1960 in Vlaanderen en 1976 in Nederland. Wereldwijd heeft Al-Anon 24. 000 groepen in 110 landen, met een totaal aantal deelnemers van meer dan 300. 000. Er zijn ongeveer 2000 Alateen-groepen met gezamenlijk 14. 000 deelnemers. (nl)
  • Grupy Rodzinne Al-Anon/Alateen (Ang. Al-Anon Family Group) - pracujące w oparciu o 12 Stopni grupy samopomocowe skupiające krewnych i przyjaciół alkoholików . Grupy Alateen nie stanowią samodzielnej wspólnoty i są częścią Al-Anon (w spotkaniu uczestniczy, albo czuwa obok dorosły uczestnik Al-Anon).Na spotkaniach Al-Anon członkowie rozwiązują swoje problemy dzieląc się doświadczeniem, siłą i nadzieją. Jedynym celem działania wspólnoty Al-Anon jest niesienie pomocy rodzinom alkoholików. Wspólnota nie jest związana z żadnym wyznaniem, ugrupowaniem politycznym czy organizacją. (pl)

  • Al-Anon è un associazione di auto mutuo aiuto senza scopo di lucro per familiari ed amici di alcolisti, Alateen, che fa parte integrante di Al-Anon, accoglie amici e familiari adolescenti di alcolisti. L'unico requisito per essere membri di Al-Anon/Alateen è di avere un familiare o un amico per cui l'alcol sia divenuto un problema. Al-Anon ha un solo scopo: aiutare le famiglie degli alcolisti. Questo fine viene realizzato mettendo in pratica i Dodici Passi, adottati dagli Alcolisti Anonimi, offrendo accoglienza e conforto alle famiglie degli alcolisti e dando comprensione e incoraggiamento all'alcolista. Al-Anon/Alateen è un associazione in cui si osserva l'anonimato. I membri usano solamente il nome di battesimo e tutto quello che viene detto durante una riunione, o a tu per tu, è ritenuto strettamente confidenziale. I membri condividono la loro forza, esperienza e speranza. Si offrono un sostegno reciproco e sono incoraggiati a comunicare tra di loro anche per telefono tra una riunione e l'altra. Oltre alle riunioni, che si tengono in città e paesi di tutto il mondo ogni giorno della settimana, e alle riunioni on-line, Al-Anon ha altri strumenti di recupero: la letteratura, che riflette la filosofia del programma, ed i contatti personali fra i membri. Gli stessi membri si alternano nella responsabilità di condurre le riunioni. Non ci sono quote né spese di iscrizione per essere membri di Al-Anon. L'associazione non accetta contributi esterni e provvede alle proprie necessità (affitto delle sale delle riunioni, acquisto della letteratura ecc.) grazie ai contributi volontari dei propri membri. Al-Anon/Alateen tiene riunioni chiuse cioè riservate esclusivamente ai membri Al-Anon e Alateen, ed anche un certo numero di riunioni aperte per chiunque sia interessato ad approfondire la conoscenza del problema.

  • After a while I began to wonder why I was not as happy as I ought to be, since the one thing I had been yearning for all my married life [Bill's sobriety] had come to pass. Then one Sunday, Bill asked me if I was ready to go to the meeting with him. To my own astonishment as well as his, I burst forth with "Damn your old meetings!" and threw a shoe as hard as I could. This surprising display of temper over nothing pulled me up short and made me start to analyze my own attitudes. ... My life's purpose of sobering up Bill, which had made me feel desperately needed, had vanished. ... I decided to strive for my own spiritual growth. I used the same principles as he did to learn how to change my attitudes. ... We began to learn that ... the partner of the alcoholic also needed to live by a spiritual program. (en)
