Just remember that if we go before the public, we should always have two members present. If a committee does not exist, a member may carry the message with the use of these cover letters and material. Groups that form an outreach committee can work together with members of their group to perform outreach.
Areas and regions can ask GSRs to distribute the cover letters to group members. Putting Cover Letters to WorkĪ group, an area or a region can form an outreach committee. When using a cover letter, consider enclosing a local or regional meeting directory (if available) and the Nar-Anon Offers Hope pamphlet (PDF available below) or along with other outreach literature available in the Outreach Packet at the WebStore. The Outreach Packet offers selected ready-for-distribution literature and is available for purchase in the WebStore. Outreach how-to information is available in the Nar-Anon Outreach Information Folder and on this WS Outreach page (See Outreach Tools, Tri-Fold Brochures, Guides and Challenges below). With Mission, Vision Statement and Principles in mind, an Outreach Committee can be designed to meet the needs of each community. Performing OutreachĪll levels of the fellowship - local groups, areas and regions - can support outreach and be part of the vital link between individuals seeking help and Nar-Anon members who share their experience, strength, and hope.Ĭonsider forming an Outreach Committee to better coordinate outreach efforts. Spreading awareness through outreach assists in the growth of local groups, areas, and regions and the fellowship as a whole. The focus of outreach is to let families and friends of addicts and professionals who may come in contact with them know that help is available. Outreach offers a way to carry the message by increasing awareness of Nar-Anon Family Groups. They're the people who can help you see the whole situation clearly.Step Twelve invites us to carry Nar-Anon’s message of hope to others. Attend Al-Anon meetings regularly, read the literature and keep in touch with Al-Anon members. I can continue to deny that I have a drinking problem as long as you provide an automatic escape for the consequences of my drinking.Ībove all, do learn all you can about alcoholism and your role in relation to me. It may avert or reduce the very crisis that would prompt me to seek help.
Don't lie for me, pay my bills, or meet my obligations. Love cannot exist for long without the dimension of justice.ĭon't cover up for me or try in any way to spare me the consequences of my drinking. Moreover, I'm likely to lose respect for those I can fool too easily.ĭon't let me take advantage of you or exploit you in any way. Denial of reality is a symptom of my illness. Once you have made a decision, stick to it.ĭon't believe everything I tell you it may be a lie. But the nature of my illness prevents me from keeping my promises, even though I mean them at the time.ĭon't make empty threats. I'll promise anything to get off the hook. My sense of guilt will be increased, and you will feel resentful.ĭon't accept my promises. If you assume my responsibilities, you make my failure to assume them permanent. I hate myself enough already.ĭon't let your love and anxiety for me lead you into doing what I ought to do for myself. If you attack me verbally or physically, you will only confirm my bad opinion abut myself.
Alcoholism is a disease, too.ĭon't pour out my liquor it's just a waste because I can always find ways of getting more.ĭon't let me provoke your anger. You wouldn't be angry with me for having cancer or diabetes. Powerful letter, thought Id share.ĭon't lecture, blame or scold me. This leaflet is from the other side of the family and one of the views is from an alcoholic.
