Al-Anon Participation
Al-Anon has been an integral part of Fellowship of the Spirit from the
beginning. Al-Anon members attend the conference each year, some accompanying
the recovering alcoholics in their lives, many attending by themselves or with
other Al-Anon members.
There will be Al-Anon participation in the Step workshop panels that are the
core of the conference program, where our Al-Anon panelists are encouraged to
share their experience strength and hope. One of the conference's five main
speakers is an Al-Anon member with a powerful message of recovery!
This year there will be one scheduled Al-Anon meeting with opportunities for
spontaneous Al-Anon gatherings throughout the conference. Our Al-Anon meeting is
open to everyone interested in learning about the family disease, or in need of
an Al-Anon meeting. We will also have an Al-Anon information table to further
our primary purpose to help friends and families of alcoholics, and to provide
comfort and information to those attending the conference who are affected by
the family disease of alcoholism. Please join us!
"Each Al-Anon Family Group has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps of AA ourselves, by encouraging and understanding our alcoholic relatives, and by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics." - Tradition Five
