• Forgotten Book Challenge! (7/27/2026)

  Forgotten Book Challenge!

  The books for the Book Challenge can be now picked up during regular office hours.

  The Challenge: Each member is encouraged to purchase at least one One Day At A Time (ODAT) book and intentionally “forget” it in a public place where someone who may be struggling can unexpectedly discover a message of hope, encouragement, and recovery.Whether it’s left in a Little Free Library, doctor’s office, coffee shop, park bench, or community center, one book has the potential to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life.

  Why Participate? The Forgotten Book Challenge is an opportunity to extend the Al-Anon  message beyond the meeting room. A single book can provide hope, comfort, and encouragement to someone facing the effects of alcoholism or addiction—perhaps at the exact moment they need it most.

  Together, we can: help celebrate National Recovery Month by sharing hope; increase awareness of recovery resources in our communities; reach individuals and families affected by substance use and mental health challenges; demonstrate that recovery is possible—one day at a time.
