Lakers Alano – My awesome new WordPress site

Mission Statement

"To provide a facility that provides a drug and alcohol-free environment that will enable visitors to overcome their addictions in a supportive and understanding environment at no cost."

Alcoholics Anonymous does not finance or lend its name to any outside organization. The Alano Club is an outside organization, separate and distinct from AA, Alanon, or any other 12-step meeting. An autonomous group conducts each meeting held at the club, and each group pays rent to the club to help pay expenses. Membership in the Alano Club is independent of membership in various organizations that use the club's facilities for their meetings.

What People Are Saying

Testimonials

Finding Hope in Community

When I walked into my first AA meeting, I felt lost and alone. But I quickly realized I wasn’t alone at all. The support and understanding I found here changed my life.

John R.

Lakers Alano is truly a community of supportive people who share their experience, strength, and hope to help others. I started coming to meetings, and have gained much more than sobriety – I have found friends and a new way of living.

Dan B.

One of the hardest things about deciding to attend an AA Meeting was wondering if I would feel accepted and if I could share what I was going through. Coming to Lakers confirmed that this was the place I needed to be to start my recovery process.

Jane A.

Shortly after attending a Lakers meeting for the first time, I went to their Summer Picnic the club puts on annually. I never realized that I could have this much fun sober! It meant everything to me to be able to see what life could look like.

A New Beginning

AA gave me the tools and the community I needed to break free from alcohol. I now have hope, purpose, and a second chance at life.

Mike S.

AA has taught me that what needed to change was everything. My past way of life using drugs and alcohol was over and I needed to practically start from scratch. Fortunately the ‘steps’ and my sponsor are there to help me do just that!

Linda M.

Picking up the pieces of my broken family and trying to repair relationships was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Being around people who had been through the same thing and could help show me how to do that meant everything to me.

Richard N.

I walked into these rooms 14 years ago and Lakers Alano saved my life. I met friends that I will have forever. I learned a new way of living, and gained a life I never thought I would have.
