Topic Description:
How the MA World Phone Meetings are carrying the message of recovery and helping support newcomers and all of us to stay free of marijuana.
There are more than 30 phone meetings a week, with more than 200 callers each week. There are different meeting formats – Saturday Night Live Speaker Meeting, Women’s meeting, Topic meetings, Step Study meeting, etc.
Callers are from all over the US, plus regulars from Canada, Morocco, Ireland, and more.
The meetings also provide opportunities to be of service and host or moderate the meeting.
We support newcomers with one day, and soon hear them with 6 days, then 24 days, then 51 days – this format is really working. Members in states with NO land meetings are finding recovery from marijuana addiction. We read the literature, and help newcomers find the MA phone app, and the detoxingbrochure, and other MA approved literature.
We celebrate milestones, and have a very strong and caring fellowship of recovery. We think the Convention attendees will be excited to find this resource and take it home to their states and towns.
Format: (indicate panel, speaker, open discussion):
Panel of 3 members telling how the phone lines have helped their recovery, plus time for Q&A from the guests in the workshop.
We may also read letters from members of the phone line who are not able to attend the Convention in Seattle.
If this is a proposal for a panel, please list the panelists and their contact information as well.
Need help here – who else would be willing to be on the panel to share your views on the phone lines and answer Q&A? - Miriah
The Convention Host Committee will review your application and contact you as soon as possible. Thank you for offering to be of service at MA Convention 2018.
