I am new here and am asking for help. I can not attend f2f meetings due to being almost completely homebound/ car accident, back injury. Can someone help me to get started here?
Aloha Criket...in the white pages of your telephone book there may be a hotline phone number for Al-Anon. Call that number and see if there is someone live on the other side of the phone or if the message has numbers to call for help. If they have listed phone numbers, call one of them and as the person "can you help me get started" of course mention that you are home bound. That is exactly what I did over the phone and exactly what started me to saving my life and sanity. No I wasn't homebound and there was a friendly voice on the other end to guide me into program. I don't think I ever did meet that angel.
So call and hook up. Many Al-Anons will come out and visit and I've even been a part of "home" meetings. (meetings in member's homes and hospital rooms).
