Is someone's drinking bothering you?
Alateen is for you. Alateen is for young people whose lives have been affected by someone else's drinking. The following 20 Questions are to help you decide whether Alateen is for you.
Purposes:
Young people coming together to share their experience, strength and hope with each other. They
discuss their difficulties. They learn effective ways to cope with their
problems. They encourage one another, and help each other understand the
principles of the Alateen program.
They learn how to use the
Alateen's Twelve Steps and Twelve
Traditions.
Alateen members learn:
Compulsive
drinking is a disease. They can detach themselves emotionally from the drinker's
problems while continuing to love the person. They are not the cause of anyone
else's drinking or behavior. They cannot change or control anyone but
themselves. They have spiritual and intellectual resources with which to develop
their own potentials, no matter what happens at home. They can build satisfying
and rewarding life experiences for themselves.
Sponsors:
Every Alateen group needs
an active, adult member of Al-Anon to serve as a sponsor. The sponsor is an
active part of the group, guiding and sharing their knowledge of the Alateen
Steps and
Traditions.
LAP
(Loving Adult Presence):
LAP's are Al-Anon members who assists
Alateens and Sponsors with such things as driving Alateens to and from meetings
and events and also serving as Serenity Patrol at Alateen conventions.
