- How is AWSC different?
- How do I handle my group’s concerns?
- What is a Group Conscience? How is it different from a Group Inventory?
- How to start an Alateen group? Who can start one?
- Who needs a Service Sponsor—and why?

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.
