Please feel free to use our online meetings, chat-rooms, forums, and email meetings. Alateen is a fellowship of young Al-Anon members, usually teenagers, whose lives have been affected by someone's else's drinking. Purposes of Alateen: Young People Come Together To: • share experience, strength and hope with each other. • discuss their difficulties. • learn effective ways to cope with their problems. • encourage one another. • help each other understand the principles of the Al-Anon program. Sponsorship Every Alateen group needs an active, adult member of Al-Anon to serve as sponsor. The sponsor is an active part of the group, guiding and sharing knowledge of our Twelve Steps and Traditions. Alateen Members Learn: • compulsive drinking is a disease. • they can detach themselves emotionally from the drinker's problems while continuing to love the person. • they are not the cause of anyone else's drinking or behavior. • they cannot change or control anyone but themselves. • they have spiritual and intellectual resources with which to develop their own potentials, no matter what happens at home. • they can build satisfying and rewarding life experiences for themselves. Meetings Alateen members meet in church halls, school rooms or other suitable places (many times in the same building as an Al-Anon group, but in a separate room.) Meetings are held throughout Australia. Alateen Literature Members are encouraged to read Al-Anon and Alateen Conference-Approved Literature and materials. Written from members' personal sharings, these recovery tools can help young people deal with their problems. Is someone's drinking getting to you? Alateen is for young people whose lives have been affected by someone else's drinking. The following twenty questions are to help you decide whether Alateen is for you. |
