2. Stony Brook Al-Anon Meeting at LI Vets Home
Al-Anon Family Group meetings are being held on Mondays, 11:30am - 1pm in the East Pavilion Board Room at the LI Veteran's Home. Dubbed the Stony Brook Serenity Break, it is open to all family and friends of alcoholics, hoping to provide help and friendship to those affected by someone else's drinking. Anonymity is an extremely important part of this program, providing a safe environment for discussion of topics that will increase understanding and quality of life, especially in difficult circumstances. Anyone needing more information can email Janet Balsamo on Lotus Notes.
