A fellowship of kids, usually teenagers, whose lives have been affected by someone's else's drinking. Alateen is a safe place where kids can come together to share and recover from the effects of living with the problem drinking of a relative or friend.
The only requirement of membership is that there be a problem of alcoholism in a relative or friend.
Alateen's program of recovery is adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and is based upon the Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, and the Twelve Concepts of Service. It is not a religious organization, though some groups may meet in churches.
What Alateen members learn:
*compulsive drinking is a disease.
*they can detach themselves emotionally from the drinker's problems while continuing to love the person.
*they are not the cause of anyone else's drinking or behavior.
*they cannot change or control anyone but themselves.
*they have spiritual and intellectual resources with which to develop their own potentials, no matter what happens at home.
*they can build satisfying and rewarding life experiences for themselves.

At first John was unsure when his friend Jim asked him to come to the Alateen meeting, thinking it was a relgious cult. What John found there, however, were other teenagers whom he could relate to. Not all of them listened to the same music, but he found he could relate to what they were going through and he found tools to deal with living with an alcoholic. After several meetings he began to feel less alone.

Get the Neo-Aladeenism mug.Alanteena is a very hard-working person who will do anything to achieve whatever she wants and how she wants it. She can be resilient and very patient even when things get in her way. She is also kind and very caring towards people around her. If you are upset, she will understand no you will feel and she will help you. Not to mention she is also a very good listener. Don't try to mess with her as well or you will regret that probably for the rest of your life.
JK you won't but you still wouldn't want to mess with her anyway 😂 :D

Get the Alanteena mug.At least when 'The Dictator' let us down, it gave us a catchy new phrase. It is used to take the place of contrasting words simultaneously, such as awesome and lame. Facial expressions and kinesics are very helpful to the one trying to decipher the use of the word.
Tommy: How was that chick's dome?
James: Dude, it was so Aladeen.
Tommy: Was it Aladeen...or Aladeen?
James: Soo Aladeen with a slow nod of approval
Tommy: Yeeaaa-uuuuuhhhhh
