Contact Al-Anon Family Groups for assistance with interview arrangements at wso@al-anon.org Attention: Communications, or call (757) 563-1600 during business hours 8:00am – 6:00pm ET.

Al-Anon Family Groups meet in over 130 countries to help families and friends of problem drinkers recover from the impacts of a loved one’s drinking. Members help each other by practicing the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous themselves, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic.

The assurance of anonymity is essential to Al-Anon’s efforts to help more families and friends of alcoholics. We respectfully ask that no Al-Anon, Alateen, or A.A. speaker or member be identified by full name or picture in published, broadcast, or Internet reports.

Interviews are available by request. Over 14, 000 Al-Anon Family Groups meet every week throughout the U.S. and Canada. Al-Anon members are available in every state and province to participate in anonymous interviews. Special arrangements are also possible for interviewing members in other countries, if arranged in advance.
