Friends and Family Meetings Wednesdays at 9pm
 

Greetings friends and family of alcholics/substance abusers,

My name is Lily and I am a grateful member of Al-Anon. I have approached the administration of our website about having meetings for friends and families and I have recently been approved to start chairing these meetings.

The friends and family meetings will begin November 14, 2012 at 9pm Eastern Standard Time in the friends and family section of the chatroom. You will need a password to access this meeting. You will need to inbox me for that password.

Please review our chatroom rules below:

• There will be no "cross talking" permitted during the meeting. If you need to discuss something with another member please do so in a private message.
  
• If you would like to share during the meeting please indicate your intention to do so by typing an exclamation point !.
  
• Please wait until I call upon you.
  
• We ask that you remember the meeting is only one hour and to be considerate of the time you use. If you need to leave before the meeting has ended do so quietly.
  
• If you feel strongly about what someone is saying you may acknowledge them with a one or two word phrase or emoticon, please no audio-emoticons during the meeting.
  
• When sharing, keep your discussion to one or two lines per post so the readers will not have a lot of lag time between posts.
  
• When you are finished sharing please type the word done.

Respecting these protocol is key to a productive, powerful, and meaningful meeting. We share our experience, strength, and hope. We come together and support each other through experience, strength and hope.

Love to all,

Lily :hug:

Oh my.... I actually had this very idea on my mind and wondered why it wasn't already implemented!

Surely our HP(s?) are at work...

Count me in!

PM on the way.

Thanks for taking the time and energy to bring these meetings to our Family! Good on you.

I am sending encouragement and support your way!

Correction, the meetings will start tonight at 9pm. Hope to see you there! :)

I would like to join the meeting.

Inspired idea!

So do we click on the Chat Room tab by the Log Off one & choose the first one of drop-down menu or (Float) one then enter password to be taken directly to the F&F chat room section? Need basics as I haven't been on before.

Go to the chat section of this website, click on Friends and Family, enter password. I hope everyone gets there okay. I'm not the best at giving directions. I may ask one of the chat monitors to post directions.

Bump :)

As a former F&F meeting chair... sending you ES&H. Thanks for stepping up it is an awesome responsibility (in a good way).

Bumpity Bump! :)
