Welcome to Hillsborough County Al-Anon Family Groups

If you’ve worried about someone’s drinking, you are not alone.

Hope and help for families and friends of alcoholics.

If you are affected by someone else’s drinking, you are not alone. Al-Anon family groups is a fellowship that offers strength, support, and hope to those struggling with the effects of a loved one’s alcoholism. For over 70 years we have provided a safe and confidential space for families and friends to share their experiences and find healing together.

“… we discover that no situation is really hopeless, and that it is possible for us to find contentment, and even happiness, whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not.”
