Thanks for saying it like it is MG!
For me, before I would ask anyone to join this forum or tell them about it, I would have to feel just as comfortable having that person in a meeting.
For instance, I have a relative that wants to go to AA meetings with me. I told them no, thank you, unless it is a speaker meeting. This is my recovery and I need to focus on that right now. I don't need a meeting buddy and I truly do not trust that person to let the stuff they hear there, stay there. SO...my point is, if I wouldn't want a person sitting in an AA meeting right across from me listening to me share...why would I want them here where they can hide behind a computer?
