About the Meeting's Phone List
Date of List:________
Meeting Day:_______ Time: _______
This meeting makes use of a voluntary phone list which can
be used as a valuable tool in recovery. We urge you to make use of it, and
to keep in mind the following:
Each person whose name appears on this list has agreed to be available by
phone to listen to others in need. By placing our names on this list, we make
a statement about our own recovery, our willingness to share with others,
and our willingness to offer support and information to those in need.
Sometimes when we get a phone call, we are unable to focus our full attention
on it, or do not feel like talking with others that day. At these times, it
is important for the caller and the person receiving the call to recognize
that it may be necessary to postpone or limit the conversation. Members reserve
the right to take a message and call back later, or even to say " I am
not able to talk right now. Please try another person." By respecting
the private life of the members, both the caller and the receiver learn to
practice healthy boundaries.
