Al-Anon Family Groups offer help to everyone whose life is or has been impacted by another person's drinking, whether that person is currently drinking or not. Even if their loved ones are no longer a part of their lives or have died, the scars remain deep for some of the members. They need someone to listen, understand what they're going through, and provide support. Al-Anon is not a self-help group. The only way to find out if this group is right for you is to attend an open meeting. You can call ahead and ask if there is one in your area, or check with your local chapter of Al-Anon. The purpose of family groups is to provide support to individuals who have a loved one who suffers from alcohol abuse.
