Al-Anon Declaration
Let It Begin with Me
When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help,
let the hand of Al‐Anon and Alateen
always be there, and—Let It Begin with Me.
Al-Anon is a fellowship of men and women who live with the disease of alcoholism in a relative or friend.
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their
experience, strength and hope with each other that they may
solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.
There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-
supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with
any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does
not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor
opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and
help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
If you have a family member whom you suspect has a drinking problem and you would like to stage an intervention, please contact Synergistic Intervention Specialists.
