We encourage each person here to contribute to fostering a secure and welcoming environment in which our meeting can take place. As our traditions remind us, the formation and operation of an MA group resides within the group conscience. Therefore, we ask group members to refrain from any behavior which might compromise another’s safety and recovery. We caution members from getting involved with newcomers in matters of romance or business.</span><br />

Mar-Anon is based on the 12 steps of AA and Al-Anon - steps that have helped to improve the lives of millions of people over many years, people of all faiths or none. We are not a religious group, instead the steps are a path of self-discovery and personal change. The 12 steps here have been adapted for the Mar-Anon program.
