About

The Nar-Anon Family Group is primarily for you who know or have known a feeling of desperation concerning the addiction problem of someone very near to you. We have traveled that unhappy road too and found the answer with serenity and peace of mind.

When you come into the family group, you are no longer alone but among true friends who understand your problem as few others could. We will respect your confidence and anonymity, as we know you will respect ours. We hope to give you the assurance that no situation is too difficult, and no unhappiness is to great to be overcome.

While this group is primarily composed of men, and the discussion is about sharing men’s experience, strength, and hope, it is open to all Nar-Anon members, in accordance with Tradition Three: “…The only requirement for membership is that there be a problem of addiction in a relative or friend.”
