Helping Your Friends
Because alcoholism is a disease and not a behavior, chances are that you won't be able to change your friend's actions, but you can show your love and support.
You're not betraying your friend by seeking to find him or her help. Keeping "the secret" is part of the disease of alcoholism and it allows the problems to get worse. As with any disease, it's still possible to be a friend while recognizing that he or she has alcoholism and it's not disloyal to seek help in dealing with the problems your friend's drinking creates for them or you.
Understand that teenage children of alcoholics are at a higher risk of becoming alcoholics themselves. Acknowledging the problem and reaching out for support can help ensure that your friends future does not repeat their parent's past.
If you want to be proactive in helping your friend, Alateen is a fellowship of young Al-Anon members, usually teenagers, whose lives have been affected by someone else's drinking. If you have a friend that you feel is abusing alcohol and becoming a danger to themselves or others, please do not hesitate to call Alateen @ 888-4AL-ANON, Monday through Friday, 8 am to 6 pm ET. |

| Alateen's Twelve Traditions |
|
• Our common welfare should come first; personal progress for the greatest number depends upon unity.
• For our group purpose there is but one authority -- a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.
• The only requirement for membership is that there be a problem of alcoholism in a relative or friend. The teenage relatives of alcoholics when gathered together for mutual aid, may call themselves an Alateen Group provided that, as a group, they have no other affiliation.
• Each group should be autonomous, except in matters affecting other Alateen and Al-Anon Family Groups or AA as a whole.
• Each Alateen Group has but one purpose: to help other teenagers of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps of AA ourselves and by encouraging and understanding the members of our immediate families.
• Alateens, being part of Al-Anon Family Groups, ought never endorse, finance or lend our name to any outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property and prestige divert us from our primary spiritual aim. Although a separate entity, we should always cooperate with Alcoholics Anonymous.
• Every group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.
• Alateen Twelfth-Step work should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ special workers.
• Our groups, as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.
• The Alateen Groups have no opinion on outside issues; hence our name ought never be drawn into public controversy.
• Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, TV and films. We need guard with special care the anonymity of all AA members.
• Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles above personalities.
