Al-Anon is a mutual support program for people whose lives have been affected by someone else’s drinking. By sharing common experiences and applying the Al-Anon principles, families and friends of alcoholics can bring positive changes to their individual situations, whether or not the alcoholic admits the existence of a drinking problem or seeks help.
Hope for Life meets on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. at the Carthage Full Gospel Church, located at 109 1st Avenue West in Carthage.
The Hope for Life non-residential program for those dealing with life-controlling problems consists of a series of weekly group meetings, which deal with identifying life-controlling issues, breaking free from hindrances, and learning the steps of recovery. Hope for Life is structured similar to a Low-Intensity Outpatient program and uses the group dynamics and accountability model. The Hope for Life groups, led by trained facilitators, use Living Free curriculum from Turning Point ministries. Participants can start the program at any weekly meeting location. Preregistration is not required.
