12 Step Meeting in Chat here on BFP

[TenderKnight]

Not sure where else to post this, and didn't want to start a whole new thread.

I have almost one day sober as of right now. I was out of the program and the rooms for the last two months. I have posted in that time talking about what I learned when I got sober.. I never said that I wasn't sober at the time, I didn't feel like that was anyone's business.. But in the intrests of honesty, I wanted to disclose this fact.

I am sorry if I led others to believe that I was still sober.. I guess this is brutal honesty for myself here. Not really beating myself up or anything, but I want to always live an honest life and this is my way of doing so. I've been to two meetings today and have made a personal commitment to a friend to be at one on Sunday morning. I will be going to a few more before then, but it is good for me to be accountable.

Again, I just wasn't sure where else to post this and I am not posting this for pity or sympathy.. Or hostility, for that matter.. lol I am posting this so that I can "walk" around here knowing that I am not misleading anyone.

Thank you.

Welcome back, Tony. If there is any suport the recovering community here on BFP can offer you please let us know. We are trying to hold a meeting here on Sunday nights, if this doesn't fit with your schedule please suggest a time that might and we will try to accomodate that time.

Very truly,

Sherrie

I'm sure you could bring it back to life. What are your thoughts on having a meeting in the chat room? We have our own room, by the way....Medusa created it for us, we haven't used it much yet, but that could change in you are interested in changing it.

I didn't really have a set idea... just thought it would be cool to connect with other queer folk in recovery. There aren't many where I'm at... at least not in my program. I saw that you have your own chat room which sounds fantastic, but I must admit I have no clue how that works.

How we used to have meetings was to set a time and all go to chat at the same time, but not many people would show up regularly and I got tired of chatting with myself........so we haven't attempted it lately.
