District 6 Northern Illinois Al-Anon Family Groups

Al-Anon family groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength and hope in order to solve their common problems. We believe alcoholism is a family illness and that changed attitudes can aid recovery.

Al-anon is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organization or institution; does not engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any cause. There are no dues for membership. Al-Anon is self-supporting through its own voluntary contributions.

Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic.

Help and hope for families and friends of alcoholics

Alanon and Alateen are mutual support groups of peers who share their experience, strength, and hope in coping with the effects of a problem drinker in their lives. Connect here with local groups based in NW Chicago and Suburbs both in person and online.
