My meetings ask we keep the focus on this program and don't openly reveal if you are a member of another 12 step program..I really think you will love alanon..I have some double winner friends and they have said that AA saved their life but alanon taught them how to live..it's a really gentle program and basically just a good way to live..it saddens me that we have 3 meetings a week in my town while AA has several a day..where are all the family members and friends? If it's true that every addict/alcoholic effects 7 other people..you'd think at least a couple would show up for help..we should have MORE people than AA!
