Welcome to Double Winner's Anonymous!
Al-anon and AA have a lot of similarities. They may attract different kinds of people, but they have the same goal—to achive sobriety for the alcoholics and to help the alanon cope with the challanges of having alcoholic loved ones. Double Winners Meetings provide both groups with support and understanding as they walk together on their journeys to sobriety.
In the past, AA and Alanon did not get along very well, Saturday Night Live was founded by two old timers, Harry & Giff, 40 years ago. While having dinner with their wives, they came up with the idea of having a meeting with both the alcoholics and their loved ones. The interaction of the alcoholics and the Alanons proved to be very therapeutic, the family had a chance to heal together and better understand each others challanges.
