Meetings

Al-Anon’s Third Tradition states, “The only requirement for membership is that there be a problem of alcoholism in a relative or friend.”

Generally, Al-Anon/Alateen meetings are closed unless otherwise noted.  This means that they are limited to members and prospective members.  This gives the participants greater freedom to discuss their own ideas and feelings.  Some meetings are considered open which allows attendance by people who are not families and friends of alcoholics but who are interested in learning about Al-Anon Family Groups.

Many groups also hold meetings where Al-Anon members tell their stories to anyone interested in the family disease of alcoholism.  This type of meeting is called an Open Speaker meeting.  Some groups invite members of the professional community to hear how the Al-Anon program aids recovery.

Below you will find a listing of Open Speaker Meetings, Closed Alateen Meetings, Closed Al-Anon Meetings and Closed Spanish Speaking Meetings.
