ACYPAA 2010

We are excited to have Al-Anon Family Groups participation at ACYPAA 2010!

“The Al-Anon Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope in order to solve their common problems. We believe alcoholism is a family illness and that changed attitudes can aid recovery.”
For more information on Al-Anon Family Groups please check

Some of you may have questions about the relationship between ACYPAA and Al-Anon. The following excerpts from the A.A. Guidelines, Relationship Between A.A. and Al-Anon.

The fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous and the Al-Anon Family Groups have a unique relationship. They are naturally drawn together by their close ties. And yet the Twelve Traditions, the General Service Boards, and the General Service Conferences of both fellowships suggest that each functions more effectively if it remains “separate,” cooperating but not affiliating with the other.

Question: How may A.A. and Al-Anon cooperate in area and regional conventions and get-togethers?
Answer: In accordance with the Twelve Traditions, a convention would be either A.A. or Al-Anon- not both. However, most A.A. convention committees invite Al-Anon to participate by planning its own program, and the committee arranges for facilities for the Al-Anon meetings
