Welcome to Tennessee Al-Anon and Alateen Family Groups
The Al-Anon Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength and hope in order to solve their common problems. We believe alcoholism is a family illness and that changed attitudes can aid recovery.
What Is Al-Anon?
Al-Anon is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organization, or institution: does not engage in any controversy: neither endorses nor opposes any cause. There are no dues for membership. Al-Anon is self-supporting through its own voluntary contributions.
Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to the families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic.

News From The WSO (World Service Office)
Falling back to Standard Time!
As Daylight Saving Time ends in North America on Sunday, November 3rd, Al-Anon Family Groups Mobile App meeting times might be temporarily affected. The WSO is working diligently to ensure a smooth transition and overcome the challenges of managing these biannual changes. Your patience is greatly appreciated, and members can rest assured that we will monitor the meetings throughout the day to quickly resolve any issues. We encourage participants to double-check meeting times within the app close to the meeting time.
Does Your Group Subscribe to The Forum?
If not, you may be missing a ready-made Instant Meeting topic that features two member sharings followed by thoughtful questions—a great way to start the discussion at your meeting. Also, your group’s members may be missing important announcements and information from the World Service Conference and the World Service Office (WSO)! What’s more, The Forum is jam-packed with recovery stories of fellow Al-Anon members and articles about how members apply Al-Anon’s Three Legacies to their lives. Go to al-anon.org/forum to subscribe.
