The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I have not been to any face to face alanon meetings in a long time now. Part of the reason has to do with me not wanting to walk so far at night. I realize that I can take a cab to and from the meetings and if I want to get better I need to take a cab to the meetings and make them a priority

Once there you could ask about a ride after the
Meeting. Some people might be going by or are
Willing to pick you up or at least willing to drop
You off.
I find without my ftf mtgs i would not have
progressed much in my recovery. Change and
growing Is hard soul searching work, i needed to
be reparented and Retrained and its slow going.
I needed to get Humble to become teachable.
Great to hear you have a plan for in person Alanon meetings. If you are looking for additional meetings in between we have them at MIP in the morning and evenings. For my own recovery, I feel in person Alanon is best for me but I do enjoy the meetings here as well. Keep coming back! TT

Around my part of the world, we have folks who want to do service work and will try to find you a ride if transportation is an issue. Just a thought - you might see if you can find a phone number for the closest group and just ask. It never hurts to gather more facts to make a plan....
I also agree that if you arrive, and ask, I am sure someone can drop you home or at least part way!
Meetings locally have made all the difference for me - great fellowship and support - which I still need and did so extensively when I first arrived!

I am willing to take a cab to and from the meetings. I have to invest a little money to recover. I went to face to face meetings for years but I stopped going. The way I am feeling currently with my job it's necessary that I get back there
