We learn that:

• We can detach ourselves emotionally from the drinker’s problems while continuing to love the person
• We are not the cause of anyone else’s drinking or behavior
• We cannot change or control anyone but ourselves

We come together to:

• Share experience, strength and hope with each other
• Discuss our difficulties
• Encourage one another
• Help each other understand the principles of the Al-Anon/Alateen program
• Learn how to use Alateens Twelve Steps and  Twelve Traditions
