Yeah, so I missed the last meeting. But that's not what I'm wondering about.

It looks like this area of the forum is only for Alcohol? Is there a part of the forum (or should there be) for other substances (like the NA part of the group?)??

Juuuust wondering.

I will try to remember Sunday. :D

I tried to check it out a week ago and have been informed that it will reconvene January 2011. If any people in the Playground are thinking about taking the Pledge I guess it'll be open for business. Maybe someone will bring some of the famous cybercookies and coffee we get around here. I took a cruise one time and was one of four at the meeting. Thats when I learned about being there for others. One lady REALLY needed the meeting. I was glad the other three of us showed up...

Regards

It's a good place to start, and I thank you for having it. General AA meetings can be quite intimidating when you know you have "other" issues (like sexual ones) that factor on your addictions. At least here, you won't have to worry about getting hostile or predatory responses because your "trans"

Perhaps, instead of "you" I should have used I or me. But I hope you get my meaning.

I am having trouble finding a non religious group to go to for my drinking etc, but at least I can feel comfortable with your online group. I wonder if anyone could suggest a Mineapolis group. I have a friend who needed AA but was so militantly against orginized religion, he did not make much progress. I am more open, but am uncomfortable with the way he described it...

Link to comment

Your friend may have brought his/her prejudices in the door unknowingly...

It isn't a religion tho many who attend end with the lords prayer after the meeting. No belief in Jesus or any other religious figure is required. If it had been, I probably would have left and continued drinking myself to a slow death. All that is asked is to accept the fact that we are unable to stop on our own and are therefor powerless over alcohol. At that point it is each members job to find his/her higher power that can do for the alcoholic what they could not do for themselves... Simple huh?

A.A. PREAMBLE©

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who

share their experience, strength and hope with each other that

they may solve their common problem and help others to recover

from alcoholism.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.

There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are selfsupporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with

any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does

not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor

opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and

help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

The Thursday Chat has been cancelled due to lack of participation and moderator availability, but the Sunday bunch is still on Schedule!!

Hi ETS. as Mary Ellen says, you need to click on the chatroom button, make a name, and go the entry portal. You will enter a community chat area where folks hang around an make small talk. A mod will recognize you as new and ask permission to ask a few questions to insure you are not a troll, pedophile etc. It takes 2 minutes. Tell the mod you are going to the substance abuse room to hang out with Vicky, Charlie, Michelle and the others. If you look at the placewhere it says community central, you can scroll down until you see "substance". Its alphbetical btw...

It is often fun with a purpose unless someone is hurting or using. Then we put down the funny stuff and show a little AA love and wisdom... but no preaching.

Hope to see you there :)

I'm sorry about the Thursday meeting being canceled. For those who came there i hope you can make the Sunday 9:00 meeting. I know thats late for many. Please PM me to set up a chat as you like. We can get an informal group together if the interest is there.

Hugs,

Charlie

I am hoping to get some help in dealing with my gender identity and alcoholism (been clean & sober since Oct '99). If there is any person who would be willing to try online sponsoring I would appreciate it greatly. Hugs!

Crystal, why don't you come to the Sunday night chat at 9:00 EST and join us for a little camaraderie and Recovery. We deal with addiction issues, staying sober and also have fun in Recovery when someone isn't having a hard time of it... If your sobriety date is 1999 I imagine staying sober is not the primary issue. we can relate our experiences with coming out and also your request of an on line sponsor. A separate chat registration is needed and only takes a few moments. It must be done though in order to insure the integrity of the board for the youth here at LP. Hope to see you there. It is anonymous and a keyboard chat, not like skype...

Hugs

Just a note to let those who have a problem with addiction that the 9;00 eastern chat meeting is still up and running. Stop by and have a cup of coffee and relax with others who are working to be sober trans* people.

Hugs,

Just a note to remind anyone with substance abuse problems that we have an open meeting on the chatrooms at 9 eastern on Sunday evenings. Like many meetings of AA or NA attendance often goes from many to just a few but we've managed to keep the doors open since August of 2007.

Please join us there if you feel you may have a problem.

Hugs,

If you are interested in the meeting in the chatroom please join us at 9:00 Eastern.  The 10 notification on the calendar is a mistake.

Hope to see you there.

 

Hugs,

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.   
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
