Al-Anon Contra Costa - Central and Eastern

We have hope to share

You are here: Home / Literature

Literature

The Literature Depot will be closed April 1 – 15.  If you need any literature, please get your orders in by the end of March, or they will not be filled until after April 15.

Pickup will continue to be contactless.

Conference Approved Literature

Al-Anon and Alateen Conference Approved Literature (CAL) is one of the tools to help families and friends recover from the effects of someone else’s drinking. It’s nice to know that we can turn to our literature for hope and inspiration whenever a meeting is not immediately available or our sponsor or other members cannot be reached at 3:00 am.

How to Obtain Al-Anon and Alateen Literature

Meetings

Most Al-Anon and Alateen meetings have Al-Anon and Alateen literature available. They may sell the literature or ask for a donation, usually at the price that they paid for it.

District 14 Literature Depot

Ordering from the local Literature Depot supports your local Al-Anon groups.
