I had hoped to find a community that I could connect with in the true essence of AA -- anonymously.....I wanted a secure place that I could be all by myself - and then it dawned on me ---DUH - I am posting on the Internet. The World Wide Web --- good news is it is in the family of MIP -- even seeing the memebership on the website from around the world it helps to know 2 things: 1) my postings are no different than anyone elses and that 2) we are the same alcoholics world wide.
While I realized that my audience is bigger than I originally thought I hope the message is as big as well --- we all need the same support.
While I sit here in my safe place --- I am asking for support in my recovery from around the world.
Yes, it's amazing that we Trust ourselves to open up on a forum that can be read anywhere there is an internet connection - spelling, mistakes, poor grammar, colloquialisms and all
But even bigger is that sense of trust that I'm in a safe place here.
Fellowship and support from Barnsley, England.

Thank you, Kelly. I feel so openly private & safe here too lol If there are things I feel I need to share in a one to one I do that though obviously appreciate how others can have the courage to share it here or over the table. I am lucky to have the best of both worlds including private messaging :) With recovery love & support from Liverpool, U.K! Danielle x

Hi Kelly. I was never really one of those who felt I had to be anonymous all the time. I really didn't care who knew I was a drunk. After all, they all saw me doing and saying dumb things all the time. I send you my prayers and support from Knoxville, Tennessee.
