Are you interested in Conference Approved Literature about growing up with alcoholism? Here are some resources: 

Available from local Literature Distribution Centers or from the Al‑Anon Online Bookstore.

Our 75th Anniversary Gala, scheduled for April 25, 2026, sold out faster than we ever imagined. Your enthusiasm for this milestone year reminds us just how strong and connected we are as a fellowship. Together, we continue living our Conference theme: 75 Years, One Purpose. 

To ensure a fair opportunity for those who still wish to attend, we will open a limited‑capacity waitlist beginning February 11 at 2:00 pm EST. You may join by visiting the 75^th Anniversary page on al‑anon.org, clicking the link to the waitlist (after it goes live on February 11 at 2:00 pm EST), and providing your name and email address. 

As seats become available, individuals on the waitlist will be contacted in the order they signed up and will be given the opportunity to purchase tickets. While joining the waitlist does not guarantee a seat, it offers a fair and organized way to be considered for any open spots. 

The last opportunity to purchase waitlist tickets will be April 3, 2026. 

Thank you for being part of our shared journey as we celebrate 75 Years, One Purpose and the countless lives touched along the way.

“Having grown up with alcoholism, I learned very early on that it was not safe to talk openly and honestly or to trust what people told me. To survive, I shut down and ignored or denied my feelings. Under those circumstances, it’s no surprise that by the time I found Al‑Anon, I had serious problems with letting anyone know the real me…”

In February, May, August, and November, the Quarterly Appeal gives each member an opportunity to participate individually in Twelfth-Step work beyond the group level.

Our Twelve Steps invite us to seek a “Power greater than ourselves” to help us navigate challenges and find serenity. Each person defines that power in their own way and exploring what you truly need from a spiritual connection is a deeply personal journey. 

February’s blog topic is, “What would you include in a ‘want ad’ for your Higher Power?” 

What qualities would you seek? Unconditional love? Compassion? Wisdom? Strength? Humor? Whether you're religious, spiritual, or neither, creating a Higher Power “job description” can be a meaningful step toward self-awareness and recovery. 

As always, you can also write about Al‑Anon’s three Legacies. This month features Step Two, Tradition Two, and Concept Two. 

Sharings on the Member Blog may be used in future Al‑Anon publications. New topics are being added each month!
