Every Alanon meeting I've been to goes out of their way to make newcomers welcome. Not by pressuring them to share or talk, but as far as welcoming, sharing literature, explaining the program and how it has helped members and with members sharing their stories and experiences. My home group is a daytime meeting. I also hit the Saturday night meeting a couple times a month. They have different vibes, but newcomers are always welcomed warmly. After all, the newcomer is the most important person in the room at Alanon.
