“.......talk to each other, reason things out.......”

It’s easy to start a group phone list.. just pass a sheet around the room and

ask members who are willing to accept Al-Anon calls to put their first names and

phone or text number and/or e-mail address (anonymous, please) on the sheet.

Every month or so, one member can call the numbers on the list to remove any number that is no longer in use

and keep in touch with members who may have fallen out of touch…

And what about email? With classic mail becoming so expensive and unfashionable,

WSO and New York South would like to encourage all our groups to

register email addresses for each group. Here's How:

When the drinker in your life makes you worry about your sanity, come to Al-Anon.

The Al-Anon Suffolk Information Phone Service cannot provide emergency assistance or counseling.

What we can do is to help you find a meeting you can go to.

Our program grew out of the Twelve Steps, which we adapted from AA.

The main work of our program occurs at our meetings where we share

and learn from the experience, strength and hope of others in similar situations.

If you’ve been with us a while you might consider taking a turn at answering our phones.

During the time period you select, calls to the Al-Anon line (631 669 2827)

are directed to a phone you choose (even a cell phone!), anonymously.

Normally you would choose a time period on a day of a particular week of the month

(such as: 3pm to 5pm on the third Sunday of the month, for example),

and you’d answer the phones at that time every month.

It’s a great way to pay forward the service you’ve received!

Al-Anon Suffolk Information will have its monthly board meeting this week.

It’s always good to see trusted servants in action, so drop by.

If you feel the need to serve, there is an opening for a liaison to

Suffolk AA in Al-Anon’s participation in their Share-A-Thon this year.

Share-A-Thon Committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM.

January, April, July and October the meeting will be at

Cornell Cooperative Extension

423 Griffing Ave.

Riverhead, NY 11901: MAP.

All other months the meeting will be held at the Cleary School for the Deaf

301 Smithtown Boulevard, Nesconset, NY, 11767.

(NOTE: Beginning in November 2011, Share-a-thon meetings will be held

on the second Tuesday of every month February through November at 6:30 pm***

at the Cleary School for the Deaf in Ronkonkoma.

***except April, July and October,

meetings will be at 7 pm Cornell Cooperative Extension in Riverhead.)

New meeting in the East:

Thursday Alateen (5:30PM-6:30PM)

2463 Main Street

Bridgehampton, NY 11932

(St. Ann's Church, Parish Hall/ back door)

Tuesday evening meeting at Bayport could use support. 

They meet Tuesday nights at the

United Methodist Church

482 Middle Road in Bayport.

Beginners at 7:30 and regular meeting at 8:00pm.

We could use all the support we can get over here.

Stepping Out on Wednesdays needs support.

Hello!

Our Wed Shoreham meeting is still very small and needing support,

so we are changing our format to Steps and Topics instead of Steps and Traditions.

Check out our flyer... we’re trying to keep this group alive!

A WORD TO ANYONE

CONFRONTED WITH VIOLENCE

Al-Anon's gentle process unfolds gradually, over time. But those of us facing violent, potentially life-threatening situations may have to make immediate choices to ensure safety for ourselves and our children. This may mean arranging for a safe house with a neighbor or friend, calling for police protection, or leaving money and an extra set of car keys where they can be collected at any time in case of emergency. It is not necessary to decide how to resolve the situation once and for all -only how to get out of harm's way until this process of awareness, acceptance, and action can free us to make choices for ourselves that we can live with.

Anyone who has been physically or sexually abused or even threatened may be terrified of taking any action at all. It can require every ounce of courage and faith to act decisively.

But no one has to accept violence. No matter what seems to trigger the attack, we all deserve to be safe.
