Al-Anon timelineBob H2017-12-05T13:12:00-05:00
A brief chronology of Al‑Anon's history. For further details, see Many Voices, One Journey (B-31) and Lois Remembers (B-7).
Lois W. recognized her need for recovery when in anger she threw a shoe at her husband, Bill W., cofounder of A.A.
The Twelve Steps were published by Alcoholics Anonymous.
The families of A.A. members began to meet informally and for a variety of purposes.
Gatherings for the families of A.A. members began to evolve, holding the first meetings focused on recovery from the effects of a family member's alcoholism.
Lois W. and Anne B. met when they drove their husbands to A.A. meetings.
The family groups attracted national publicity for the first time in a feature article, "New Help for Alcoholics," published in the July issue of Coronet magazine. At that time, Coronet was one of America's most popular magazines, with a monthly readership of two million.
The Alcoholic Foundation registered the Northern Westchester Non-Alcoholics Anonymous group, with Anne B. listed as Group Secretary. It was Lois W.'s home group and was among the 87 family groups that were later invited to participate in the creation of Al-Anon Family Groups.
Ruth G. began writing and distributing the San Francisco Family Club Chronicle, later titled The Family Forum, a periodical for the families of alcoholics. This newsletter shared information about family recovery nationally and internationally, prior to the founding of Al-Anon Family Groups.
Family groups had a high profile at the first A.A. International Convention, in Cleveland, Ohio. Several sessions at the Convention focused on the families of alcoholics. A.A. formally adopted its Twelve Traditions at this Convention. Lois W. later adapted these Twelve Traditions for use by Al-Anon Family Groups.
Lois asked A.A.'s annual General Service Conference for direction on the future of the A.A. family groups. The Conference approved the suggestion for a "Clearing House," separate from A.A., which would provide support to the family groups, but asked that A.A.'s name not be used. Lois invited Anne B. to assist her in opening the office, which later became known as the World Service Office.
Lois and Anne sent letters to the 87 family groups known to them at that time, inviting them to participate in a fellowship of friends and families of alcoholics. They asked the groups to accept the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, with one change. In Step Twelve, "alcoholics" was changed to "others." The groups were also asked to agree on a single name for the new fellowship. It was the first fellowship-wide group conscience. Articles in the A.A. Grapevine and The Family Forum, along with other news coverage, helped spread the word about the new organization.
Lois and Anne compiled Al-Anon's first piece of literature, a pamphlet called Purposes and Suggestions for Al-Anon Family Groups (P-13). The pamphlet has remained in print throughout Al-Anon's history. The Clearing House also sent out One Wife's Story, written by Lois and now included in How Al-Anon Works for Families & Friends of Alcoholics (B-22).
About 20 members from seven Al-Anon groups in the New York City area formed the Advisory Committee to formulate policy for Al-Anon as a whole. It was a precursor to the World Service Conference, the Policy Committee, and other representative voices of group conscience in the Al-Anon service structure. This Committee agreed that the new organization was to be called Al-Anon Family Groups. About 80 percent of the groups polled by the Clearing House had approved this name.
The Clearing House moved its activities from Stepping Stones, Lois's home, to the second floor of A.A.'s 24th Street Clubhouse in New York City.
With the approval of the Advisory Committee, the Clearing House made its first appeal for financial support from the Al-Anon groups. Lois and Anne asked each member to consider contributing $1, two times a year, to the Clearing House.
The Clearing House asked the Al-Anon groups for authority to handle national publicity. The groups granted this authority, to ensure that a unified fellowship would consistently communicate a unified message in the national press. There were nearly 400 registered Al-Anon groups.
Lois adapted A.A.'s Twelve Traditions for use by Al-Anon, and asked for comments, suggestions, and approval, first from A.A.'s Board and A.A.'s Conference, and then from the Al-Anon Family Groups.
The December issue of the Clearing House newsletter included a draft of a proposed "Welcome" for use at Al-Anon meetings, as well as a proposed Preamble to the Twelve Steps.
The Clearing House newsletter officially became a monthly publication. In September, the monthly magazine took on the name The Family Group Forum, which today is called The Forum.
The Literature, Budget, and Publicity Committees were formed.
The Clearing House incorporated the name Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc. Members began referring to the office as "Headquarters."
This was the last year in which members' cash contributions exceeded the amount of income generated by Al-Anon literature sales.
The first Al-Anon meetings in Puerto Rico began.
Al-Anon's first hardcover book, The Al-Anon Family Groups (B‑5), was introduced at the A.A. International Convention in St. Louis, Missouri. Al-Anon held five workshops, one for children of alcoholics, at this Convention.
The Saturday Evening Post published a major article about Al-Anon, which brought the fellowship national publicity.
The first Alateen meetings took place in California.
The Family Group Forum requested sharings on the Twelve Traditions for the first time.
The first Alateen groups registered with Headquarters. The Alateens adapted the Twelve Traditions to make them more relevant to their needs.
Al-Anon groups numbered over 1,000. Headquarters relocated to a larger office, at 125 East 23rd Street, New York City, NY.
An episode of the Loretta Young Show, "The Understanding Heart," gave national publicity to Al-Anon and the effects of alcoholism on families.
Al-Anon groups in Montreal published the first French-language Al-Anon monthly newsletter, bulletin des groups familiaux Al-Anon.
Lois W. mentioned the idea of an Al-Anon World Service Conference at her annual luncheon for the wives of A.A. Conference Delegates.
Headquarters adapted a pamphlet from a member in New Zealand, and distributed it as To the Parents of an Alcoholic. It was the first piece of literature addressing the needs of a specific segment of Al-Anon's membership.
Al-Anon groups now existed in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Central America, and South America.
Four hundred Al-Anon members at A.A. International Convention at Long Beach, CA, voted to approve a plan for Al-Anon first World Service Conference, to be held in 1961. This vote was the largest "in-person" group conscience in Al-Anon's history. This vote was later confirmed by the Al-Anon groups.
The first annual Al-Anon World Service Conference met in New York on a trial basis. Delegates from British Columbia, California, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Ontario, Pennsylvania, and Texas met with World Service Office staff and the Board of Trustees.
The World Service Conference approved the Twelve Traditions. Lois W. introduced the concept of Conference Approved Literature, which the Conference approved.
The Stag Line, the first pamphlet welcoming men to Al-Anon, was published.
Ann Landers mentioned Al-Anon in her syndicated advice column, and about 5,000 people wrote to Headquarters for information
The World Service Conference, which had met on a trial basis, was made permanent.
By this time, 18 Spanish-speaking groups were registered with Headquarters.
The World Service Office began publishing a quarterly Alateen newsletter, which was sent free to all Alateen groups. The name Alateen Talk was decided upon by a vote of the groups.
The Board of Trustees and the Executive Committee were organized, replacing the Board of Directors and the Advisory Board.
Al-Anon Faces Alcoholism (B‑1), a book intended to increase awareness of Al-Anon's credibility with professionals, was introduced at the A.A. International Convention in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Lois W. introduced the concept of "obedience to the unenforceable" in a new chapter added to The Al-Anon Family Groups, which by this time had been given a new title: Living with an Alcoholic.
The World Service Conference approved a policy statement on public outreach. This statement has been the foundation of Al-Anon's outreach policies ever since.
Representatives of Al-Anon and A.A. worked together to develop guidelines that would clearly define the two fellowships as separate entities, each focused on its own primary purpose.
The Policy Committee decided that "Headquarters" should be called the World Service Office (WSO).
The World Service Conference ratified the Conference Charter, which defines the purpose of the Conference, its relationship to the fellowship, and the rules that it will observe in its meetings.
Al-Anon's first daily reader, One Day at a Time in Al-Anon (B‑6) was published.
The World Service Conference approved the project of adapting A.A.'s Twelve Concepts of Service for use by Al-Anon.
Al-Anon's Twelve Concepts of Service received unanimous approval from the World Service Conference.
Al-Anon's World Service Office moved to 115 East 23rd Street, New York, New York.
A column by Ann Landers resulted in 11,000 letters asking for information about Al-Anon.
The Board approved a revised version of the Preamble to the Twelve Steps. The Suggested Closing was introduced.
Alateen's first book, Alateen—Hope for Children of Alcoholics (B‑3), was published. There were more than 1,000 Alateen groups.
The Policy Committee introduced the Al-Anon Declaration to the World Service Conference: "Let it Begin With Me—When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, let the hand of Al-Anon and Alateen always be there, and—Let It Begin with Me."
The World Service Office cooperated with the producers of a Public Broadcasting Service program about alcoholism and its effects on the family titled, Drink, Drank, Drunk. Members were notified in advance of broadcasts, so they would be prepared to answer inquiries that the program would generate.
The first Al-Anon adult children group registered with the World Service Office.
The first Digest of Al-Anon and Alateen Policies was published and distributed widely throughout the fellowship.

The first Membership Survey was introduced, providing an information profile of the Al-Anon/Alateen membership. The Membership Survey has taken place every three years since then.
Al-Anon held its First International Convention in Montreal, Québec, Canada in cooperation with the International A.A. Convention. As We Understood (B-11) was introduced at this event.
Al-Anon's World Service Office moved to 1372 Broadway, New York, New York. The Shipping Department was relocated to Long Island City, New York.
Al-Anon cofounder Lois W. passed away on October 5. She was 97 years old, and had worked to help the families of alcoholics for more than 50 years.
The World Service Conference approved a text change to the Service Manual, adding the sentence: "Where there is no Alateen meeting available, teens seeking help are encouraged to attend Al-Anon meetings."
The book In All Our Affairs: Making Crises Work for You (B-15) was published, bringing increased visibility to the diversity within the fellowship.

Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters (Canada) Inc. was incorporated as a registered charity in Canada.
The World Service Conference voted to add to the Service Manual the recommendation that each Alateen group have two Sponsors, each of whom is a minimum of 21 years old. It was also recommended that Sponsors be currently attending Al-Anon meetings, and be active Al-Anon members for at least two years in addition to any time spent in the Alateen program. Al-Anon members who are also members of A.A. may serve as Sponsors by virtue of their Al-Anon membership. A.A. members (not in Al-Anon) who are at least 21 years old may assist groups, but may not serve as Sponsors. A new guideline, Adults Involved in Alateen Service (G-35) was introduced.
The Members' Web site, al‑anon.org/members, was introduced at the World Service Conference.

The World Service Conference approved a Policy Committee recommendation to remove a statement from the "Policy Digest" that permitted A.A. members to serve as assistants at Alateen meetings.
The Policy Committee approved a revision to the Suggested Welcome, changing the statement "Al-Anon is an anonymous program" to "Anonymity is an important principle of the Al-Anon program." The distinction was intended to clear up the misunderstanding that the program itself was supposed to remain anonymous, rather than the identities of its members. This confusion had discouraged some members from engaging the Twelfth-Step work of carrying the message of Al-Anon to others.
The Board of Trustees determined that the Al-Anon fellowship should take all necessary steps to provide a safe environment for Alateens and the Al-Anons involved with Alateen service. Therefore, it passed the 2003 Alateen Motion, a legal resolution of the Board.
The World Service Conference affirmed the Board's Alateen Motion.
Members distributed nearly 170,000 copies of the new public outreach magazine, Al-Anon Faces Alcoholism, transforming the annual "September Forum" outreach campaign into a year-round effort, in English, Spanish, and French.
The World Service Office put its first blog on the Members' Web site, Using the Concepts in our Personal Lives. Members from around the world shared their personal experience in applying the Concepts' spiritual principles to their real-life situations, responding to observations on the Concepts originally introduced by Executive Director in his workshop on the Concepts.

In a new blog on both the Members' and Public Outreach Web sites, Al-Anon members shared in English, Spanish, and French on Using the Steps in Our Personal Lives.
The World Service Office cooperated in the production of Love Is Not Enough, a made-for-television movie based on the life of Al-Anon cofounder Lois W. It attracted an audience of more than seven million viewers, giving international visibility to Al-Anon's message of recovery.
Al-Anon members distributed more than 350,000 copies of Al-Anon Faces Alcoholism in their local communities.

Acknowledging the challenges of maintaining anonymity in the multi-media environment of the World Wide Web, the World Service Conference updated Al-Anon's policies on anonymity and public outreach. The updated policies were first published on the Members' Web site, then in the 2014-2017 Al-Anon/Alateen Service Manual.
Al-Anon introduced its first electronic book, Having Had a Spiritual Awakening (eB-25), available from the major e-book vendors.

King David of biblical lore gets makeover as sports hero
Lincoln writer Kent Krause based his first novel on the life of King David.
CINDY CONGER / For the Lincoln Journal Star
("The All-American King" by Kent Krause, iUniverse, 532 pages).
Have you ever found Bible stories hard to understand? After all, can you really relate to a teenage boy facing a giant? What if that teenage boy happened to be a bench-warming sophomore baseball player from Des Moines, Iowa, and the giant was an opposing pitcher with wicked heat?
Lincoln writer Kent Krause based his first novel on the life of King David - the King David of biblical lore, who fought Goliath, angered an incumbent king, led armies, committed adultery with the beautiful Bathsheba and, after all of that, was still known as "a man after God's own heart."
In Krause's "The All-American King," the central character is Dave King, the youngest of nine children growing up in an Iowa family during the late 1960s and early '70s.
In the Bible version, the family business is herding sheep; in Des Moines, the King family runs a local restaurant called The Royal Court. Rather than fighting off the bears and lions that threaten the sheep, Dave faces down lions and tigers and Bear Bryant on the athletic field. Instead of becoming king, Dave King becomes American royalty - an NFL quarterback. He later channels his sports celebrity into politics.
But just like King David, Dave King stumbles along the way. Though he makes a commitment to God in his teens, life happens, and Dave strays from his faith and faces tragic consequences for some of his decisions.
I must admit I was skeptical that a rookie novelist could re-set the story of such a well-known character without the effort feeling contrived. About three chapters in, however, I found myself so caught up in the story of Dave King that I stopped trying to figure out exactly which of Krause's characters related to which Bible character. (For those who want to keep track of who's who, Krause has provided a handy character guide on his Web site, www.kentkrause.com.)
Krause grew up in Des Moines, and Midwesterners will appreciate the familiar details. References to sites in and around Des Moines, Council Bluffs, Omaha and even a few shoutouts to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where Krause has taught history, make the story even more relatable.
Krause previously has had his writing published in The Great Plains Quarterly and The International Journal of the History of Sport. His love of sports shows in the vivid descriptions of the baseball and football games Dave King wins and loses. Krause, like many writers of Christian fiction, sometimes loses his voice and allows his characters to lose theirs when he tries too hard to pound home a moral message. The book is at its best when Krause allows the story to speak for itself without becoming preachy.
If Krause's mission was to reframe a story of character, redemption and hope in a relevant way that stays true to its original inspiration, he has more than succeeded.
"The All-American King" is available from Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com and Target.com or from the author's own Web site, KentKrause.com.

I've done a lot of book blogging and reviewing even before Fuldapocalypse started, and far and away my most favorite part is finding a hidden, obscure delight of a book and thus being able to share it with the internet. Oh, I like reviewing big-name books from time to time, and they can be good.
But they're not the most fun to review. The most fun to review are when I look for the book with the most zombie sorceress induced "Arkansas vs. the blimps" premise, find it, and then discover that it's actually a good tale beyond it. There was Team Yankee and Tin Soldiers, the classic tank novels. There were many more good authors I found. The crowning glory of this was the Survivalist, where I took the plunge and read over two dozen books of ramping-up-crazy.
In fact, one of the biggest "problems" I have with my blog is as follows. Do I continue reading existing authors, which are harder to review for even if good (because you've already said what exists about it) or take a chance on unknown ones (which can be very good or very bad)? It's 'tough', but it's a good 'problem' to have.
My Book Backlog is Done!
So, every book on my big backlog I've read or at least sampled and then put aside to read later. Some of them made it to Fuldapocalypse or are in the review 'stack', others did not and will not.
Perhaps the most famous entry is Heinlein's original Starship Troopers. The most charitable things I can say about it are that it probably aged poorly and that I understand how it can scratch a "he gets it" itch for veterans because of its realistic depiction of boot camp drudgery. Otherwise, I didn't like it. It has this overly "bouncy" and somewhat rambling writing style that I found to knock down both the boot-camp-coming-of-age main plot and the modest amount of actual action.
My military sci-fi itch is pretty much subsided-of the four remaining books, three were military sci-fi. I did find Jonathan Brazee's works good for my current 'cheap thriller' tastes and will be checking out more of them, but I think it best to put the remaining "guy in armored space suit" books on the back burner until the genre fatigue wears off. Those made up the bulk of my holiday purchases, so returning to the delightfully technothrillery Thunder of Erebus was a good 'grand finale'.
Going forward, I have two general priorities. One is slightly more highbrow works of fiction-I love cheap thrillers, but think going a little higher would be helpful. I definitely plan on reading and reviewing the classic Forever War, for one example. The other priority is tanks, because while some of the books had tanks in them, none were really in a starring role. So I'm planning on reading more tank books (and yes, that includes sci-fi tank books).
This whole experience was fun, and I hope to encounter more literary gems.
It's another bit of tank fiction I've blogged about before but am now proud to review 'formally' at Fuldapocalypse-the Duffer's Drift for the 1980s edutainment piece The Defense of Hill 781. Enjoy.
Tin Soldiers has been covered before here but I figured I'd give it a bigger, more detailed review at Fuldapocalypse. It's a post-1991 technothriller that manages to work better than a lot of others.
So I read Ralph Peters' Red Army, one of the fewer classic World War III novels I hadn't read yet. A part of me doesn't want to look a gift horse in the mouth. This is better-written than many of its contemporaries and well-intended. It isn't just the grit of the battles that works, but how Peters, unlike so many other writers in the genre, goes light on the technical terminology. It still has a little too much viewpoint-hopping, but flows well. In that, I'm reminded of Team Yankee doing a similar thing, and both books are good "counters" to each other.
However, I still have some criticism. A lot of the characterization is done through telling and not showing, and while the viewpoint hopping is smoothed over, it still exists. Also, I think the two main parts of the book are at cross-purposes. The intent is to tell a ground-eye-view story that humanizes the Soviets and a cautionary tale of how NATO could lose. They don't quite gel, and a lot of the high-level viewpoint characters are infodumpers that make it a little ham-fisted.
The last major comment I have is that the book has a lot of its power lost when read by a history enthusiast several decades later. All the "classics" have this issue too, and it's not the fault of their writers. But the big "punch" of this is a softball to someone who already knew about the issues that plagued NATO for its entire Cold War existence that the book brings up.
But this is still a worthy Cold War Hot novel that any enthusiast should pick up. I still recommend it.
IE, two good but fundamentally different Cold War novels, idealized American vs. ideal Soviet, star-spangled spectacular American win vs. gritty Soviet win. The readable but horribly erratic Chieftains (let's say I'll just be talking more about that book later) can't quite serve as Coyle's foil. This can.
All right, time to launch a set of rapid-fire fiction reviews. Two paragraphs per book at most.
I wanted to like this book a lot more than I did. The military thriller genre can always use some outside perspectives. Sadly, and this more the fault of my expectations than the actual book itself, it ended up as a routine romantic suspense novel. Romantic suspense has always been an awkward genre, in my opinion, the inverse of adding a clunky romance to an otherwise pure action story.
Still, the book is well-written for what it is, and it just was me expecting a genre I wanted rather than the genre the book ended up being. Recommended if you like romance or romantic suspense.
This is the work that (at least partially) kicked off Sea Lion Press, and has the divergence that the conspiracy theory of Harold Wilson being a Soviet agent was true, leading to the already unstable scene of the 70s getting overloaded in a chaotic romp. While not perfect (it gets a little too "inside baseball for enthusiasts of 70s British politics, and a lot of the scenes with Wilson himself are too goofy), it nonetheless avoids almost all of the pitfalls a lot of alternate history has.
Namely, it's a proper story, not a "get right to the good stuff in a six paragraph infodump" shortcut. It's also an example of using research to help a story rather than using the story to show off the research. And by choosing an "implausible" divergence, it makes the reseach good anyway. Highly recommended.
This is a short World War III tank story featuring the often-underappreciated Bundeswehr. Smith struggles to overcome his wargaming "I must list everything" detail, but he makes a legitimate and good effort to make a proper story. The result was a good time-passer for me. It's not a classic, but it doesn't have to be. Recommended as a "cheap thriller".
This is another short military fiction tale by a wargame designer. This is a good what-if to answer the ever-present "what if the Gulf War Iraqis were more compenent" question. It's short and the main character is a little too Mary Sueish, but that's understandable given the point the author is trying to make. Also recommended as a cheap thriller.
The Last Panther by "Wolfgang Faust".
This is a terrible, wretched, creepy melodramatic fraud sold as a genuine World War II memoir. Even without historical inaccuracies, it's a clear modern fake. The monstrous "Wehrabooism" (at one point the main character comes face to face with a literal ASIATIC HORDESMAN) turns it from simply bad to creepy-bad.
The main character has the situational awareness to see huge tank battles, which always happen at close range in plain sight and always involve tanks and vehicles exploding and flying through the air in massive fireballs. The action is so over the top it becomes dull and predictable. Not recommended.
Tank crews can make for an underappreciated fictional niche. There's enough of them to be more than an individual (ie, pilot), yet not enough to get out of hand. You get between three and five crew to a tank (again, barring the edge cases), and there's less need to perspective hop.

New LOM at Holyhead Lifeboat Station
This week has seen a key change in the team at Holyhead Lifeboat Station.
John Cave
New LOM Hefin Francis and outgoing LOM Graham Drinkwater
Long-serving Lifeboat Operations Manager (LOM) Graham Drinkwater has stood down from his role after almost ten years.
Before taking on the LOM role in 2009, Graham served as Deputy Launch Authority (DLA) from 2005-2009, and was the station coxswain for several years until 2001. Graham has been part of the RNLI in Holyhead for over 50 years; his first shout as a 19 year old back in 1966 was the famous Nafsiporos rescue, where a Russian freighter got into difficulties in high seas off the Anglesey coast, and crews from Holyhead and Moelfre risked their lives in 100mph hurricane winds to save all on board.
Incoming LOM is Hefin Francis, who has been with Holyhead RNLI since 2007, first as shore crew, then as a crewman on the all-weather lifeboat Christopher Pearce (where he qualified as a navigator); and more recently he has been deputy LOM. Hefin is a retired manager at the School of Psychology at Bangor University, and lives in Holyhead with his wife Shubha.
The LOM role, which was formerly known as Honorary Secretary, or Hon Sec, involves overseeing the general operation of the station and lifeboats, giving authority for them to launch, and liaising with the emergency services and other organisation where necessary, as well as having a major part in any changes and developments made at the station.
"I'm very much looking forward to the role; and I hope to keep the crew and the boat in the style to which they have become accustomed and deserve" he said.
Graham is remaining a part of the team in Holyhead, as a DLA.
Photographs show incoming LOM Hefin Francis, along with outgoing LOM Graham Drinkwater, and the Holyhead coxswain Tony Price. Also joining with them is new DLA Iwan Williams, who is pictured receiving his lifeboat pager. Iwan was a member of the crew for many years, and is now returning to the station after a break.

Will RBI cut rates as both gold and oil slips?
Associate Director Prof. Manudeep Kaushal today addressed the students of MBA+PGPM highlighting the future policy of RBI. He told the students that Oil and Gold are the two biggest contributors to India's Current account deficit. As the RBI gets ready to unveil its monetary policy for 2013-14, the expectations are big as there are sharp correction in gold and oil prices.
There is a fall in commodity prices which is accompanied with a lowest WPI inflation in the last three years aided by sharp fall in food inflation. There is a slowdown in manufactured inflation too. However, the other measure of inflation, Consumer Price Index (CPI), stayed high at 10.4 per cent. With good agriculture growth due to normal monsoons, close to 6% overall growth should be feasible. Economy may grow at 6.4% in FY14, as forecast by PMEAC; RBI may cut rates if inflation moderates. A normal June-Sept monsoon would produce bumper harvest and might ease food driven inflation.
While central bank will be carefully watching the inflation, its rates would also be influenced by the course of global economy.
Next Next post: So is the Indian economy back on growth path?
