Is Al-Anon For You?

The following questions are to help you decide whether Al- Anon is for you.

• Do you have a parent, close friend or relative whose drinking upsets you?
• Do you cover up your real feelings by pretending you don't care?
• Does it seem like every holiday is spoiled because of drinking?
• Do you tell lies to cover up for someone else's drinking or what's happening in your home?
• Do you stay out of the house as much as possible because you hate it there?
• Are you afraid to upset someone for fear it will set off a drinking bout?
• Do you feel nobody really loves or cares what happens to you?
• Are you afraid or embarrassed to bring your friends home?
• Do you think the drinker's behaviour is caused by you, other members of your family, friends, or rotten breaks in life?
• Do you believe no one could possibly understand how you feel?
• Do you have money problems because of someone else's drinking?
• Are meal times frequently delayed because of the drinker?
• Have you considered calling the police because of drinking behaviour?
• Have you refused dates out of fear or anxiety?
• Do you think that if the drinker stopped drinking, your other problems would be solved?

If you have answered YES to some of these questions, Al-Anon may help you.
