In the beginning we seem to be most helped by listening to those who have shared similar experiences - and found some answers. Through attending meetings, studying the literature, talking to other members, and working the Steps of this program, suddenly or gradually our situation begins to look different to us and our reactions to it begin to change. What is happening is that we are learning to face reality with comfort and our emotional growth is being encouraged. Moreover, these changes in us can develop a family atmosphere conducive to recovery. There are no directors or authorities in Families Anonymous.
Leadership is rotated among our members, and no dues or fees are required for membership.
Our program is open to all, regardless of our various beliefs - or lack of belief. Member's acceptance of a Power greater than ourselves is strictly a personal, private choice. We are not affiliated with any sect, religion, political entity, or institution. Our primary purpose is to practice the principles of Families Anonymous so we may help others with similar problems. We have found that working on ourselves is the most important single thing we can do to help those we care about.
