Attending an Al-Anon meeting can be the first step in breaking our isolation by coming into contact with peers who understand the problem of alcoholism as perhaps few others can.
Meetings will likely include a reading of the Twelve Steps of Al‑Anon. It will take some time to fully understand how the Twelve Steps can be a helpful tool in recovering from the effects of someone’s drinking. But Al‑Anon gives you the opportunity to grow at your own pace.
There is a suggested format that can be used as a guideline by groups to conduct their meetings. You can find it here. You can also check it out to get an idea on what to expect at an Al-Anon meeting.
AIS provides a list of English-spoken meetings available in Benelux. However, it may be the case that there are no meetings available nearby your location. Al-Anon provides an alternative in the form of online meetings. You can use the electronic meeting finder to get a list of the next available meetings in your local time zone.

Service keeps our fellowship available for all people who might need it today and in the future. Service provides a wonderful opportunity to practice Al-Anon principles in a safe space, which can enhance our self-esteem.
Service in Al-Anon is based on our Twelve Concepts, which summarize the principles that help Al-Anon’s service organizations function effectively together. While the our Twelve Traditions summarize the Al-Anon principles that have proven to help Al-Anon groups function effectively.
Al-Anon's service structure provides the focus it needs, as an organization, to keep the fellowship running and to help the families and friends of alcoholics anywhere. It combines the efforts of each group with the work of the World Service Office (WSO). Click here for a graphical representation of how Al-Anon works as an organization.
The WSO provides guidelines to guide members and the groups while performing service at all levels, such as the Al-Anon/Alateen Service Manual. You can find them here.
