FAMILIES ANONYMOUS ON-LINE MEETINGS | FAMILIES ANONYMOUS
An internet support group comprised of concerned relatives and friends whose lives have been adversely affected by a loved one's addiction to alcohol or drugs, that takes place through email messages sent to all group members. e-Meeting is accessible from www.familiesanonymous.org. To become a member of this group you need to send an email to "[email protected]". Insert the word "subscribe" as the subject line of your email. You should begin receiving the daily postings, usually within a day or two after you applied for group membership. Because this is a 24/7, high-volume site, there are many messages sent daily. We suggest that one alternative for handling messages is to open a unique email address to use for this group only.

FAMILIES ANONYMOUS
A 12 Step fellowship for the families and friends who have known a feeling of desperation concerning the destructive behavior of someone very near to them, whether caused by drugs, alcohol, or related behavioral problems. When you come into our rooms you are no longer alone, but among friends who have experienced similar problems. Any concerned person is encouraged to attend our meetings, even if there is only a suspicion of a problem. Your identity is protected in our meetings. We know each other by our first names, only. Anonymity of our members is paramount to the success of our program. Not only is anonymity an underlying principle of the program, but it is so important that it is part of our name.
