- Al-Anon is an organization comprised of persons whose lives have been affected by someone else’s drinking.
It is a recovery program for families and friends of alcoholics, whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not. Alateen, a part of Al-Anon, is for teens and preteens affected by someone else’s drinking, not for young alcoholics seeking sobriety for themselves.

The July 2024 quarterly meeting minutes are now available. Highlights include public outreach, Alateen, and the October AIS officer elections.
The AIS Chairperson would like to thank District 11 and 23 for their generous donations in the second quarter. Additionally, when groups make donations, they must make sure to identify their group so we can acknowledge their generosity. Finally, please note that the directory of meetings can be printed directly from the Meeting List link on the website home page.
Volunteers will be needed to fill various Al-Anon Information Service (AIS) service positions in the coming months. Positions need to be filed at the October 16 quarterly meeting. If interested contact your group representative (GR) or email AIS (alanon@md-al-alanon.org).
Al-Anon’s World Service Organization (WSO) created a helpful checklist on welcoming newcomers and guests to our meetings. Please share this with your groups as appropriate.
