Member Blog

Share your Experience, Strength, and Hope

The Al‑Anon Family Groups offer a safe environment where the relatives and friends of alcoholics can find community and support to deal with their common problems. Our Member Blog is a place to read members’ experience, strength, and hope on the monthly topics, and to write your own.

In addition to using the Blog for your personal recovery, the Blog is a fantastic source for meeting topics. Members are welcome to use any topic from the Blog to chair a meeting, possibly inspiring more members to write and post their sharings on the Blog. After all, the more people share their recovery, the more people can find recovery.

Keep in mind, the Member Blog comments are not for sharing in meetings as they have not gone through the Conference Approved Literature (CAL) process and are not considered CAL. The opinions expressed here are strictly those of the person who gave them. Take what you like and leave the rest. Member sharing on the Member Blog may be used in future Al‑Anon publications.
