Missions:

The 12 Missions Of www.meetingswithmom.org


1. To create and maintain an online community for parents actively involving their children in recovery, providing resources for such parents to the benefit of all.


2. Our foundation shall always seek to be spiritually directed.  Right of minority appeal to the board of directors and within the board shall always be respected.


3. No person seeking recovery should ever be denied access to our community and resources, all who wish to recover are welcome.


4. Any group or forum within our community shall be autonomous, except as their activities might affect other groups or our community as a whole.


5. Our community has one primary purpose, to help those who suffer to find recovery.


6. Those who carry our message outside our community ought always be held separately accountable for their actions, and be compensated only as necessary to serve the community.


7. Groups within our community must adhere to any traditions of their affiliated organizations regarding self-support.  Statements of use and proportional expenses will always be available upon request.


8. Our community shall remain non-professional, but may employ special workers.


9. The board of directors shall organize our community only to the extent that information, fellowship and resources can be located and/or disseminated with ease, this shall be the main focus of the board.


10. Our community has no opinion on outside issues, links to recovery resources shall not be construed as advertising or endorsement.  Our community should not be drawn into public controversy.


11. Our public relations policy, with respect to our spirituality, is based on attraction rather than promotion, those within the community need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of Press, radio, films, television and Internet.


12. Anonymity shall be the spiritual foundation of all our policies, in all our dealings we shall place principals before personalities.


"The 12 Missions of www.meetingswithmom.org,” were inspired and adapted by the Twelve Traditions of A.A., and were created specifically for this website.  A.A. is a program concerned only with recovery from alcoholism and is not in any way affiliated with this website.

A Web Community for parents involving their children in recovery.

If you would like to help us build our online community, please contact us at meetingswithmom@aol.com

Chiefly, we imagine that the website will eventually be comprised of ongoing discussion groups, which may or may not follow fellowship traditions.  The originator of any discussion group or E-Meeting will be the moderator, and fully responsible for tradition adherence.  The 12 Missions Of www.meetingswithmom.org lays out simple guidelines for the separation of spiritual fellowships from other related charitable or profitable pursuits.

If you enjoyed the book, please pass it on, and if you can, tell some people what it meant to you.  We are entirely out of copies to give away! (Over 965 were freely given!)  We have only a few left for "marketing" purposes, but we would much prefer if those who are enjoying the book would help us with some "attraction rather than promotion" online.

The book is almost ready for publication.  It should be available on amazon.com around Christmastime.  Any royalties generated will be paid directly to the community.  We believe that a movie adaptation of this story could be of great help to hundreds of thousands of young people, and that is one of our primary aims.

If you recognize the importance of these works, please help in whatever ways you can.

Thanks,
E. Anonymous & meetingswithmom.org
