The 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.

Where Do Al-Anon Slogans Come From?

Al‑Anon’s slogans have developed through the years and have grown along with the fellowship. In the development of How Al‑Anon Works for Families & Friends of Alcoholics (B-32), a discussion regarding slogans resulted in concurrence that they evolve from common usage, not Conference action. While members have been known to use a wide variety of different sayings, they often differ greatly from region to region. They are not considered to be Al‑Anon slogans unless they are used throughout the entire fellowship, which often happens over time.
The indexes of current Conference Approved Literature list 16 Al‑Anon slogans. You can find all of them in the index of Many Voices, One Journey (B-31), which gives information on when each slogan first made its way into our literature.
