Al-Anon's Purpose is to help families and friends of alcoholics recover from the effects of living with the problem drinking of a relative or friend. Our focus is on ourselves, not the alcoholic. The only requirement for membership is that there be a problem of alcoholism with a friend or relative.  There are no dues or fees.

Is Al-Anon for you?   Please take a moment to ask yourself these questions:

• Are You Troubled By Someone's Drinking?

• Did You Grow Up With A Problem Drinker?

• If You're a Teenager, Is Someone's Drinking Getting To You?

If you identify with some of these questions, hope and help is just a phone call or a meeting away.

The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list may be helpful if you are new to our program and have questions, or please contact us by e-mail, or phone our Cleveland Area Office for help.

If you are a member of the professional community seeking resources for family members affected by someone else's drinking, we encourage you to browse our website for information about the Al-Anon program in the Cleveland, Ohio area and worldwide.

Alateen is the recovery program for young people affected by someone else's drinking.
