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,

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,

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,

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?

      Congrats on the new addition @Ivy I have the opposite I have 4 grandson and a granddaughter. 3 of whom are visiting this weekend. I am feeling better. I think the biggest thing is that I got some much needed sleep.   Well gotta go and speed sometime with the grandsons.   Kymmie

      I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'.

      Astronomy and astrophotography.  I have done a few public presentations on the subject and could most likely wing it for an hour without putting you to sleep.   On the other hand if you need a sleeping pill, I could also talk for an hour about flying and you'd be out cold.

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!! 
    • April Marie
      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.
