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,

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
