The Al-Anon Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope with one another. If your life has been affected by someone else’s drinking, Al-Anon can help you find healthy, positive ways to heal, whether the alcoholic continues to drink or not. Here in Orange County, NY, members can choose to attend meetings in person or online. Members who attend multiple meetings each week often attend both types of meetings.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a program of a new way of life without alcohol, a program that is working successfully for millions of men and women throughout the world, and in all walks of life. If you have a desire to stop drinking, please consider going to the nearest A.A. meeting to get further information on Alcoholics Anonymous. A.A. members, as volunteers, are happy to offer help by sharing their experience, strength and hope in staying sober. One of the ways members stay sober is by helping other alcoholics to achieve sobriety. Throughout this website you will find links to A.A. pamphlets that explain our recovery program and give a general idea of how A.A. works. Call Us 24/7 at (845) 534-8525
