Meetings

If this is your first contact with a Twelve-Step program, you may have some questions about what we do at meetings and how our group works. We will try to answer some of those questions here, but please feel free to contact the S-Anon International Family Groups World Service Office at (800) 210-8141, or send an e-mail to sanon@sanon.org, if there is anything you don't understand.

Specific meeting locations can also be obtained by contacting the World Service Office or, in some cases, by calling an area hotline number.  (See the question, "How do I find a meeting?" below for more information on finding a meeting.)  All meetings are "closed" unless otherwise noted, which means they are for S-Anon members only.  At a closed meeting, all those present are seeking recovery for themselves.
