what I really love about being on this board, whether I am posting, replying or just listening- is that people really do talk TO each other- the disagreements, the support, the sharing- actually, ESPECIALLY the times when strong points are made, without mincing words. It feels far more interactive than meetings ever did to me- I know that there's no crosstalk in meetings, and I understand why; but feedback is what helps me most, and I reckon that comes from what happens before and after meetings, and with one's sponsor. I am going to a meeting today, after therapy. beachgirl

It was a nice meeting... full of positive spirit. Some new faces since I'd been there last. No questions asked, acceptance, which is what I needed to be able to go back. beachgirl
Thanks for your fellowship too, Beachgirl. I feel a real fellowship here too & I often mention the friendship & support of my online Sobervibers to my F2F brothers & sisters too. Recovery love, Danielle x
