Talking There's an app for us...

I'm new here so if this is inappropriate please feel free to delete it.

I'm new to Al-Anon, setting boundaries and pretty much everything else. It makes me feel more secure knowing that there are people out there who care and meetings that I can go to.

I'm an iPhone user and came across an app that basically finds your location and directs you to meetings near you. I think you can also add meetings as well.

It's called "Steps Away" and it's free.

I just discovered this and wanted to share. It makes me feel a little better knowing I have some resources with me at all times.

SlvrMag,

If not that exact one, I'll bet there is an app like that for the Droid.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention,
I had never even thought there would be a meeting app!
