[Businessmtg] OT meeting

[ali moore]

I agree with you Linda.
The reason I could and did get healthy in alanon, healthier anyways,,, was because I had to finagle my way through HOW to visit a meeting, online or face to face.
If someone held my hand and made it easy and whatnot for me to speak up, I don't think my Rock Bottom would have meant as much, therefore I might not have sought the hard work I needed to become a better person.
Sheesh, does this make sense?

Recovery isn't holding ones hand, telling them how to do Everything,,,,
Making it easy, Plush ride…..
It's about each individual finding themselves with ESH, Guidance, making mistakes, taking a risk of trusting a group, screwing up in ASP, and finding their own path.

In my opinion.

Hi Friends:

I am not in favor of creating a branch meeting.

ASP is well structured and dedicated to following the Steps, Traditions, Concepts, CAL, Slogans, Topics.  I prefer it not be diluted with multiple choices.


Yes, it can be confusing when you first come through these doors.  I had never even heard of Al-Anon, let alone be able to ask questions.


Part of the path to recovery is listening and learning, and then wanting to hear more, and then starting to practice, and then realizing how important it is to have a sponsor, then service.  It's a process.  I think that all happens in a good, strong, regular meeting that sticks to the principles of Al-Anon.


Incidentally, we are traveling and I'm driving morning til night, so it's possible I may be slow to respond for next couple of days.  It doesn't mean I don't have something to say - (you aren't that lucky).

Hugs, Linda
