Dual participation is when you are a member of both Alcoholics Anonymous and another support group, such as Al-Anon, for example. The purpose is to get the most out of each meeting. Some people feel that being part of more than one organization helps them have a more balanced life.
What are the benefits of being in Alcoholics Anonymous if you are also a member of Al-Anon?
Being in both Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon can provide a lot of benefits. First, it encourages sobriety with each program. Second, there is a support system available to you in your life if you are an alcoholic or co-alcoholic who suffers from depression or other issues related to alcoholism. Lastly, the two programs can work together to help people when they face their greatest personal challenges.
How does dual participation work?
The purpose is for members of both programs to develop friendships and reinforce their commitment to sobriety, recovery, and recovery rights. By participating in both meetings, members of both societies learn how to bring these rights home with them.
Can more than one person participate in a dual participation meeting?
The answer is yes, as long as there are enough people to make a full group. If there are not enough people to make a full group, then all of the members of the dual party will get together in another room and participate in whatever meeting is being held.
