Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature (CAL) is a vital part of recovery and is one of the "tools of the program." In observance of Tradition One and Tradition Four, we only use CAL in Al-Anon meetings. This helps us to keep the message of Al-Anon recovery clear and strong.
Most Al-Anon meetings sell CAL at the meeting. Literature is usually sold at the group's cost as a way to carry the message. There are also other places to obtain Al-Anon literature. Here are just a few.

This is the least expensive way to order, however orders can take three weeks for delivery.
