From Devastation to Hope—the Power of the Al-Anon Program |
Dear Al‑Anon and Alateen Members,
As I have been reflecting on the coming year end, my thoughts naturally gravitated to the major events of 2024, particularly the hurricanes which have swept across the Southeastern United States. Seeing the images, as we can all now so easily do, I was devastated by the destruction these acts of nature wrought on families, property, and whole communities. And at the same time, I was comforted by the way that so many people—across all walks of life, religions, political beliefs, and levels of affluence—came together to help those who had lost everything, who felt devastated and scared by the circumstances over which they had no control, who felt alone and hopeless...

Al-Anon in National Media |
Be on the lookout for the “Dear Abby” newspaper column on December 13 that recommends Al‑Anon.
Many newspapers have either gone entirely digital or include some bonus content available online only. Consider searching their website for the article and, if possible, leave a comment expressing your gratitude for the recommendation. Please protect your anonymity at the level of the internet by not revealing your membership in the program.
Readers of national media items could contact the World Service Office (WSO) for local meeting information. It is always important for groups to provide the WSO and all service arm websites with up‑to‑date meeting information, so that everyone can assist newcomers in finding a meeting.
Thank you for offering help and hope to families and friends of alcoholics.
