Non Al-Anon Publications writers Guidelines:

Guideline on how to submit stories of personal recovery to non-Al-Anon publications can be found here:

Writing Guidelines

1. Share an experience from the heart with the focus on yourself, not the alcoholic or others.

2. Relate a personal experience based on a program principle such as detachment, acceptance, a Step, Tradition, or Concept of Service, etc., and give an instance of how and where you used it.

3. Use the first person (I, me, we, us). True personal sharings do not give direction; they express your own experience, strength, and hope. Please avoid the use of the pronoun "you."

4. Avoid generalities, outside issues, treatment center language, and religious philosophy or doctrine. Al-Anon members in other Twelve Step programs, including Alcoholics Anonymous, are asked to write only of their experience in the Al-Anon program.

5. Kindly observe Al-Anon's Twelve Traditions when sharing
