Alcoholism and drug addiction is a problem in our society and our community has more than our fair share of these very serious problems.  If you have a loved one who struggles with alcohol or drug problems you may benefit from the support that an Al-Anon group provides you. 

GLBT Al-Anon Family Group. 8:00-9pm. Capitol Hill Alano Club, 1900 E Madison St. Meets every Thursday. LGBTQ supported. The Al-Anon Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives & friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength & hope in order to solve their common problems. We believe alcoholism is a family illness & that changed attitudes can aid recovery. Greater Seattle AIS 24-hour number 625-0000.
