I’m part of a group of fellows that’s getting a new meeting started in our little foreign city. We will be the second English speaking group in town. We are starting with just one meeting a week (at a time that doesn’t conflict with the other group) and after an initial discussion we’ve decided we want our primary purpose to be a solid foundation (not drunkalogues or problems du jour).

We are pretty aligned on having it be a rotating speaker / step meeting but have differing opinions about whether or not to include traditions too (ie one week speaker on step 1, next week speaker on tradition 1, etc). So I thought I’d gather some opinions - when you were new would you have been turned off by a tradition speaker meeting? For me as long it was another alcoholic telling a story about alcoholism, I was happy. I also think there’s a lot to be learned from the traditions in regard to carrying the first 12 spiritual principles into all our affairs.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Hello family. I’m wondering if there are any Delaware Al-Anon / AFG members here? I’m looking for a fellow named Phillip B. I met him at a conference back in November and he’d been in regular touch with myself and several other fellows. I expected to see him this weekend at another conference only to find out that he had sort of just disappeared and no one else had heard from him either as of early/mid Jan. It’s a bit worrying as it seems very out of character, this guy was super connected in the program, was super willing and communicative, and was supposed to be the AFG program chair for the conference I was at this past weekend, except he just…vanished. Just thought I’d put some feelers out here in case anyone knows anything? Feel free to DM.
TYFYS!
