Feel like you've hit a brick wall?
Al-Anon can help.

Some of us are here because a spouse or partner has struggled with alcoholism. For others, the problem drinker is a parent, child, or grandchild. Sometimes a brother, a sister, or some other friend or relative brings us to Al-Anon. Many of us have had more than one alcoholic family member or friend.  There is no magic formula that enables you to help someone stop—or cut back—on his or her drinking.

Alcoholism is a complex problem, with many related issues.  At every Al‑Anon meeting, you can hear people explain how Al‑Anon worked for them.  Al‑Anon can help you learn how to cope with the challenges of someone else’s drinking.

100+ Al-Anon/Alateen Meetings Each Week in King County 
Our meetings provide comfort to those suffering from the effects of alcoholism in a friend or family member. 
Alateen meetings are for teens dealing with the effects of alcoholism. There are also meetings for Spanish speakers, women, men, LBGTQ, and members needing childcare. No two meetings are alike so you are encouraged to try different meetings to find the one that is just right for you. ​

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Someone Close to Me Has a Drug Problem
Al‑Anon Family Groups have one focus: to help friends and families of alcoholics.  Al‑Anon’s most recent membership survey reported, however, that 35 percent of Al‑Anon members first came to Al‑Anon Family Groups because of a friend or relative who had a drug problem.  The survey also showed that 78 percent of these members eventually came to realize that someone’s drinking had also negatively affected their lives.
