In April 2025, Area Delegates, World Service Office (WSO) Volunteers, and WSO Staff will gather in Connecticut, USA, for Al‑Anon’s 65th World Service Conference.

This comprehensive book about the Al‑Anon program describes how Al‑Anon helps those who are affected by someone else’s drinking. The first half focuses on various tools of the Al‑Anon program, and the second half is made up of personal stories and experiences. As it states in the Preface, “This is the essential book on Al‑Anon Family Groups. It answers every question we might think to ask including, ‘Can Al‑Anon help me?’”
