Al-Anon和Alateen计划

Al-Anon和Alateen是一个两个计划，这些计划是全球奖学金的一部分，为酗酒者的家庭提供支持。Al-Anon旨在帮助配偶，父母，兄弟姐妹和其他家庭成员，而Alateen专门针对与酗酒者生活的年轻人。

两组都基于精神，非宗教的精神，成员从中获得集体的一部分的洞察力（而不是参与一对一支持）。

While many people turn to Al-Anon and Alateen for help with a loved one's drinking problems, neither areintervention programs. Rather, they recognize that people living with an alcoholic can be traumatized and focus their efforts on caring for those individuals' needs.

As with酗酒者匿名（AA）, Al-Anon and Alateen are closely based on a 12-step model (known, aptly, as theTwelve Steps）设计为“精神增长的工具”。

History of Al-Anon and Alateen

早在1939年，家庭开始与他们的酗酒家庭成员一起参加AA会议。通过积极参与十二个步骤，这些人中的许多人开始看到将原则纳入自己的生命和家庭动态的好处。随着时间的推移，一些这些家庭团体形成了自己independent meetings.

In 1948, several of these groups applied to the AA General Service Office to be listed in the member directory. After being denied inclusion, Lois W. (wife of AA co-founder Bill W.) and Anne B., a close family friend, decided to create a committee to help coordinate and service these independent groups.

1951年，Al-Anon正式在美国大陆的56名成员团体中成立。他们从第一个音节中选择了“AlcoholicsAnon.ymous" and, in keeping with the founding principles, adopted the Twelve Steps (and later theTwelve Traditions）以略微修改的形式。

The first Alateen meetings, meanwhile, were established in 1957 specifically for members between the ages of 12 and 19.在自己运作时，这些群体被成年人Alon议员促进，称为赞助商。

Al-Anon and Alateen Twelve Steps

The Al-Anon and Alateen Twelve Steps are closely aligned to those of AA. The basic principle of the model is that people can help heal each other but only if they surrender to a higher power.

对于不觉得对Al-Anon和Alateen 12步骤的精神要素感到舒适的人，有12步方法的替代方案不依赖于“更高权力”的概念。

For those who embrace the Al-Anon and Alateen approach, the 12 steps are broken down as follows:

1. Admitting that you are powerless over alcohol and that your life has become unmanageable
2. Believing that a power greater than yourself can restore you to sanity
3. 决定将你的意志和生活变成了对上帝的照顾in whatever form that may be
4. Taking a fearless moral inventory of yourself
5. Admitting to God, yourself, and others of the exact nature of your wrongdoings
6. Being ready to have God remove these defects from your character
7. Actively asking God to remove these defects
8. 列出所有伤害和愿意弥补的人
9. Making amends wherever possible (except when doing so would cause harm)
10. 继续采取自己的道德清单并在出错时承认
11. Seeking to improve your connection with God and to pray for knowledge and the power to carry out God's will
12. Carrying these message to others and practicing these principles in your daily life
