Alateen

Hope and Help for Young People who are the relatives and friends of a Problem Drinker

Alateen is a fellowship of young Al-Anon Members, usually teenagers, whose lives have been affected by someone else's drinking. Is someone's drinking bothering you? Alateen is for you.

The following questions are to help you decide whether or not Alateen is for you.

1. Do you believe no one could possibly understand how you feel?

2. Do you cover up your real feelings by pretending you don’t care?

3. Do you feel neglected, uncared for, or unloved?

4. Do you tell lies to cover up for someone else’s drinking or what’s happening in your home?

5. Do you stay out of the house as much as possible because you hate it there?

If you have answered “Yes” to any of these questions, Alateen may help you.
