Al-Anon/Alateen Family Groups of New Hampshire

Help for families and friends of alcoholics

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.

Welcome

Our personal situations maybe different, but we share as equals because of what we have in common our lives have been affected by another person’s drinking. AI-Anon is a mutual support group.

We can find understanding and support when we share our common experience with each other. Some of us are here because a spouse or partner has struggled with alcoholism. For others, the problem drinker is a parent, child, or grandchild. Sometimes a brother, a sister, or some other friend or relative brings us to AI-Anon. Many of us have had more than one alcoholic family member or friend.

Alcoholism has similar effects on us all, even though our relationships to the alcoholic may be different. Many newcomers are most interested in hearing about situations and relationships that are similar to their own. Over time, however, we come to understand that we can benefit from hearing how the AI-Anon principles worked in many different circumstances.
