Why Sharings Are Edited for Publication |
Your most important contribution to The Forum is not necessarily the quality of your writing, but the honest and heartfelt communication of your experience as an Al‑Anon member. Sharings selected for publication are edited for spelling, punctuation, grammar, clarity, and length with care and sensitivity by Al‑Anon members of the World Service Office Staff. Learn more about how members’ submissions become monthly issues of The Forum magazine.

New Topic for the Member Blog |
Upon entering Al‑Anon, we may have equated “serene” with “boring.” The disease of alcoholism may have distorted our sense of stability. June’s blog topic is, “What does serenity look like to you?”
As always, you can also write about Al‑Anon’s three Legacies. This month features Step Six, Tradition Six, and Concept Six.
Sharings on the Member Blog may be used in future Al‑Anon publications.
New topics are being added each month!
