[Guest ZoeyOh]

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.

nm.... just found it. weird I didn't see it before...

[Guest KimberlyLee]

I will try to remember Sunday.

I will try to remember Sunday.

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...

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.

[Guest April1980]

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...

[Michelle 2010]

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.

Transgender AA and NA Online Substance Abuse Support Group. A meeting for alcohol abusers and drug users based on Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous AA/NA Style. The group is run and Moderated by: Michelle Doe and VickySGV who are AA members. Meets every Sunday Night at 9 PM in the substance abuse chat room.

A second AA and NA meeting is held on Thursday nights starting at 5 PM Eastern and is Moderated by ChefChristina.

Set up a chat account. The chat requires a separate registration but you can use your same username and password that you use here

[VickySGV]

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

[Michelle 2010]

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

Michelle

[Charlize]

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

[Guest Crystal_tx]

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!

[Michelle 2010]

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

Michelle

[Charlize]

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,

Charlize

[Charlize]

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,

Charlize an alcoholic

[Charlize]

Please join me at the Chat room meeting on Sundays ay 9 eastern. It is an informal meeting there to help any who may have an issue with substance issues. Chat does require a separate registration but is a great place for a real time conversation with others..

Hugs,

Charlize

[Charlize]

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,
