What Changed My Life - An Excerpt from the Forum

I would have done anything to help my husband get well, so I went. I soon found out Al‑Anon was not for getting my husband sober, but for finding myself. For the next ten years, I survived with the love, fellowship, and wisdom I found in the program. My husband had periods of sobriety followed by relapse and despair.

Electronic Information

Electronic and Telephone Meetings
WSO (World Service Office) maintains a list of registered electronic and telephone meetings. These meetings were originally established to accommodate the disabled, members without transportation, or those living in remote areas where there is no face to face meetings. They are now an additional tool for all Al-Anon members as supplemental meetings. They are held exactly like a face to face meeting but in a virtual meeting environment by telephone, email, or the internet. Podcasts are pre-recorded sharing of experience, strength, and hope.

Telephone Meeting List
Caution: There are internal and long distance charges for landline calls and “minutes used” on your cell phone unless the meeting is in the “free minute’s” time of your plan.
