Well just a little note about this site. It has been a god send for so many of us. We have been truly blessed to have a venue to come and find help and comfort. Recently the chat room meetings have been experiencing a leadership vacuum. Never enough chairs, dwindling attendance because of a lack of consistant meetings. All of which brings me to my point. There are so many who use the message board names I never see in the chat. How important is it for newbies and oldtimers to hear shares of experience strength and hope. We all know the answer to that question. So I would ask that some of you who frequent the board to try to find some time for the people here who don't have access to f2f meetings . People whose only outlet to find hope ans strength is in our chat. Do you have time once every couple of weeks to drop by you never know how important what you bring can mean to someone. Just asking you to consider it. It could be life changing to someone maybe you.
I am interested, I have a crazy schedule. When is it most active? I can set reminders on my phone and if I'm available go in. I'm sure I can learn plenty from everyone here!
I'm happy to chat. Sometimes I can't make it to a meeting and it would be awesome to at least internet chat with some Al Anoners.

I almost never fail to receive strength form shares in mip alanon meetings and in chat. If you are having difficulties getting into the room.....all I can offer is this: I am on java, and when I first open the room site, a blurb comes up that says something about this site could be "dangerous" or such and then asks Do you want to open this anyway? I don't really remember what the question is , but the answer is NO. Always works for me....pops me right into mip alanon chat room. Hope this helps someone.
