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 Wednesday, 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 this 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

Very cool

Too bad I live in Europe, but maybe when I visit the US I will pop in.

Lily, don't mean to sound stupid but how do I inbox you a message for the password? I've never done this before. Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi allthatsgood,

I sent you a message. Look in the right corner. It should flash where it says notifications.

It was a great meeting Lily!! Thank you so much for hosting/chairing it.

I took what away two important reminders:

1. My morning and nightly routine is very important.

2. I can restart my day anytime I want.

Looking forward to next Wednesday!
