Help for Children Living with Alcoholism
According to Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA, 08/2017), one in 10 children live in a home where at least one parent abuses alcohol. This leaves parents, grandparents, and other guardians worried about how to help the children understand what is going on with their alcoholic parent(s). This film offers help.

This website serves Al-Anon members in the greater Wilmington area in North Carolina. New Hanover, Pender, and Northern Brunswick counties comprise this area.
We offer resources for newcomers to get acquainted with Al-Anon. Meetings are a great way for a newcomer to learn about the program. Please check the 'Find A Meeting' link in the menu to the left.
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.
Al-Anon is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organization, or institution; does not engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any cause. There are no dues for membership. Al-Anon is self-supporting through its own voluntary contributions.
Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic.
