How Al-Anon Works for Families & Friends of Alcoholics

This foundational volume from Al-Anon is well suited to passing along to people who are new to the program. Members often describe handing it on as a way of returning the help they once received, a practice of sharing thanks by offering the same support to someone else. Written for relatives and companions of people who drink too much, it speaks to anyone looking for steadier footing while living alongside alcoholism.
