NYNAC 20009 Comments
Dear Al Anon Members & AIS
Thank you for showing the opportunities I have for growth by experiencing NYNAC. From now on I will remember that
"there is no problem too great or unhappiness to big to be lessened“" Many people showed me I can love others in a very special way,
the same way they love already love me. Alateen has given me a better understanding of my higher power. The
Sponsors especially show me the importance of "keep coming back."
Cordially, Shelton Q.
Dear Al Anon & AIS Members
Thank you for such a wonderful chance to experience such a magical time. When I first came to Alateen I was
unsure if I would stay, but I found in this organization a powerful feeling that brought me back week after
week. Through NYNAC I made such great friends and even stronger friendships with friends I already had.
Once again, I thank you, Shaina S.
Dear Al Anon & AIS Members
Thank you for the chance to go to NYNAC. My family didn’t have the money to pay for my way, but you paid for me and others.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. NYNAC was fun and educating. Your generosity made me appreciate everything and
everyone I have in my life. It was amazing to have gone with my group. It was like a week-end of meeting after meeting and
I didn’t have to wait a week to see everyone.
Sincerely, Ashley F.
Dear Al Anon
With sincere thanks! I am grateful for your generosity. NYNAC means the world to me. Seeing all those friends,
sharing all that love, and just having a good time. It means more to me than you could imagine. NYNAC
encouraged me to continue my weekly meeting. And attend new meetings

Dear AlAnon & AIS Members
I am grateful you sent us to NYNAC and thank you for sponsoring us. This was my first NYNAC and I met a lot
of new people and they all understand me. Hugs for Healing was awesome!
Sincerely, Conor M.
Alateen Preamble
Alateen, part of the Al-Anon Family Groups, is a fellowship of young people whose lives have been affected by alcoholism
in a family member or close friend. We help each other by sharing our experience, strength and hope.
We believe alcoholism is a family disease because it affects all the members emotionally and sometimes physically. Although
we cannot change or control our parents or friends, we can detach from their problems while continuing to love them.
We do not discuss religion or become involved with any outside organizations. Our sole topic is the solution of our problems.
We are always careful to protect each others anonymity as well as that of all Al-Anon and AA members.

Anyone who has a desire to help teens,
is at least age 21,

Things To Think About
"When I really want what the program has to offer, I'll do anything to get it. Going to meetings, sharing my problems
with others, working the steps; all these are part of the new way of life I call Alateen. It's mine today if I'm willing to
work for it." Alateen-a Day at a Time, p.93
