What does afg mean in alanon

Al-Anon Family Groups is a spiritual fellowship, not a religious one. We avoid discussion of specific religious doctrine, and members of all faiths or of none are welcome. Each member is free to define that power in his or her own way. No advance notification or formal written referral is necessary to attend an Al-Anon or Alateen meeting. Most Al-Anon groups have a contact who can be called for information about the group, our program in general, or for directions to a meeting.

Many Alateen groups meet at the same time and location as an Al-Anon group. Alateen meetings are open only to teenagers. Note: Some Alateen meetings also welcome pre-teen aged children. There are no dues or fees in Al-Anon and Alateen meetings. Most groups pass a basket for voluntary contributions. Members are asked to contribute what they can afford, so that the group can pay rent, provide literature, and offer support to local and worldwide service centers.

We want our lives to be different, but nothing we have done has brought about change. We all come to Al-Anon because we want and need help.

In Al-Anon and Alateen, members share their own experience, strength, and hope with each other. You will meet others who share your feelings and frustrations, if not your exact situation. We come together to learn a better way of life, to find happiness whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not.

Richie Zadra. Is parmesan chicken unhealthy? Jerold Ducker. What is in the pink drink at Starbucks? Vina Simpliciano. Why is pizza so high in calories? Members conduct their own meetings with the guidance of trained and certified sponsors who are Al-Anon members. Make telephone contact with other members.

Have a personal sponsor. Apply the Twelve Steps of recovery to their lives. Engage in Al-Anon and Alateen service work. This community allows individuals to meet others who share the same feelings and frustrations. Having an outlet and a support system can stop the relationship with the alcoholic from spilling over to other aspects of life.

Attendees of Al-Anon come together to learn a better way of life and to find happiness whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not. Al-Anon is a spiritual fellowship, not a religious one.

Each member is free to define that power in his or her own way, whether that is God or another form of spiritual energy. Al-Anon is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organization, or institution, does not engage in any controversy, and neither endorses nor opposes any cause.

There are no dues for membership, but Al-Anon is self-supporting through its own voluntary contributions. Attendees can choose to speak or not speak during the meetings. In fact, some members may attend Al-Anon only for active listening purposes and to adopt new perspectives.

Newcomers are welcomed to meetings, usually provided with literature and a local meeting list, and invited to listen and learn. Many members who attend meetings regularly have specific meetings that work best for them and what they are going through, whether that is a Women Finding Hope Through AFG or a People of Color Group, for example.

Groups are usually anywhere from five to twenty-five people. Currently, due to the pandemic, the majority of Al-Anon meetings are virtual via multiple digital outlets.
