Al-Anon offers an extensive array of literature covering topics
relating to people affected by someone else's drinking. Pamphlets
and books explain how the program works and how it helps friends
and families of alcoholics.
You will find many
of these publications available at Al-Anon meetings in Northern
Virginia and elsewhere, including publications designed especially
for the Al-Anon newcomer. Many pamphlets and brochures are
made available for free at meetings through the donations
of meeting participants. Some, especially hard-cover books,
are available at reasonable prices.
You can order Al-Anon
literature through a local meeting, or order from the Service
Center of Northern Virginia. An order
form allows you to order by mail or in person at the Service
Center. (You'll need the Adobe
Reader program.)

Service Conference at Al-Anon meetings and functions. This Conference
Approved Literature (CAL) contains readings written by and selected
by participants in the Al-Anon program, which are designed to
follow the principles of Al-Anon. These principles include the
concept of neutrality and respect for the personal beliefs of
individuals in the Al-Anon program.
