Al‑Anon Family Groups is a mutual support program for people whose lives have been affected by someone else’s drinking. By sharing common experiences and applying the Al-Anon principles, families and friends of alcoholics can bring positive changes to their individual situations, whether or not the alcoholic admits the existence of a drinking problem or seeks help.
The Al-Anon program is based on the Twelve Steps (adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous), which we try, little by little, one day at a time, to apply to our lives, along with our slogans and the Serenity Prayer. The loving interchange of help among members and daily reading of Al-Anon literature thus make us ready to receive the priceless gift of serenity.
The official mobile app of the Al-Anon Family Groups is designed to provide an easy way for anyone affected by someone else’s drinking to find hope and help, whether they can attend a face-to-face meeting or not.
Features:
– Al-Anon meetings powered by Zoom with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance enabled. In the app you will see this added security is identified by a green shield inside the meeting. The HIPAA compliance provides the following additional securities:
— Disallows cloud recordings
— Forces out of meeting chat encryption on
— Forces encryption for 3rd party endpoints
— Disables streaming to any service that only supports RTMP
— Prevents copying or saving meeting chats
– Connect with Al-Anon friends and chat privately with them
– A built-in private journal, which you can use to track your recovery
– News feed where you can share with your Al-Anon friends what is on your mind; you can also view what’s on your friends’ minds.
– Subscribe to a daily dose of Al-Anon members’ experience, strength, and hope.
– Easily contribute to the World Service Office to assist in the mobile app in being self-supporting.
