Conference Approved Literature (CAL) refers to books and pamphlets published by Al-Anon Family Groups<\/a>. Reading CAL is an important tool for many of us in Al-Anon. There is a great deal of ESH (Experience, Strength and Hope) to be found in CAL, most of which has been written by current and former members of Al-Anon. The Daily Chairs will almost always quote a portion of CAL that applies to their chosen topic. If you would like to purchase CAL for yourself, you can do so at most F2F (Face-to-Face) Al-Anon meetings. To purchase CAL online, you may go to the website for Al-Anon Family Groups: http:\/\/www.al-anon.org\/al-anon-literature<\/a> For a list of items available for free download onto your computer or smart phone, consult the following: Al-Anon Free Downloads<\/a><\/p>\n

Examples of CAL<\/h3>\n

The following publications are available\u00a0for purchase at many local Al-Anon meetings and from the website for Al-Anon Family Groups<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Hope for Today
\n<\/a>One Day at a Time in Al-Anon

As one of the Founding Policies<\/a> of A Serenity Place<\/strong><\/em> states, “Al-Anon literature is known as Conference Approved Literature (CAL); discussion of other literature is discouraged except for brief sharing of ES&H (not quotations) of AA literature.” For a thorough discussion of the use of CAL in ASP by founder Steve R., please see\u00a0 Cal vs. Non-Cal ~ the use of Non-Cal is not OK<\/a>.<\/p>\n
