What If Nobody Comes to the Meeting?
Be patient. Meetings can take anywhere from a few
weeks to a couple of months before they start to catch on, sometimes even
longer. Don't be discouraged. However, to speed up the process, you may
wish to have the meeting announced at other SCA meetings, or hang flyers
at appropriate locations. An example of an inappropriate place for a flyer
is a telephone pole or shopping center. In smaller communities, contact
therapists, hospitals, clinics; or possibly post information at other
12-Step fellowship meetings such as AA, AL-ANON, OA, NA, etc. Some
publications have lists of community activities including 12-Step
meetings. Since confidentiality is part of the backbone of our program,
please be careful and considerate in letting others know about the new
meeting.
