Quotes and Facts
Al-Anon/Alateen Groups can be started by anyone. Al-Anon and Alateen members, ministers, doctors, social workers, or AA members can initiate the formation of an Al-Anon/Alateen group. However, after the group has started, members operate the group. Professional or AA participation should be limited to open meetings. Check out Al-Anon resources online. |

The Joe and Charlie big book tapes have been floating around AA for years. Meetings have been formed because of them, the tapes have been passed along and shared among members, and controversy and discussions about AA traditions ensued. What was so wonderful about their active service is that it motivated many people into action, recovery, and forming opinions about AA and its traditions. Check out this brief summary about Joe and Charlie and the tapes if you are interested in a little history.
