Al‐Anon Family Groups have one focus: to help friends and families of alcoholics. Al‐Anon’s most recent membership survey reported, however, that 35 percent of Al‐Anon members first came to Al‐Anon Family Groups because of a friend or relative who had a drug problem. The survey also showed that 78 percent of these members eventually came to realize that someone’s drinking had also negatively affected their lives.
