Al-Anon WSO

Northern Illinois Al-Anon Family Groups (NIAFG) supports people in Northern Illinois who are affected by someone else’s drinking. Part of the Al-Anon Family Groups fellowship, the organization provides information and connections for family members and friends seeking greater understanding, support, and peace of mind. Its central resource is access to Al-Anon meetings, where members share experiences and learn to apply the program’s principles to their own lives. Younger people can find support through Alateen, where they meet others facing similar challenges and explore choices for coping, whether or not the person who drinks changes.

NIAFG’s website helps visitors learn about Al-Anon’s purpose, determine whether the program may be right for them, and find meeting and contact information. It also offers resources on the Twelve Steps, Traditions, and Concepts, along with newsletters, articles, the Forum magazine, skits, and literature. Members can access area and district information, guidelines, business meeting details, and contribution options. The site also lists local events, flyers, and opportunities to connect with speakers and the wider fellowship.
