this actually is an alanon forum..
as described above.
golden.. I know you can discuss movies and holidays elsewhere. I was giving exaples of "fun" and "silly" things to talk about. I'm not, fortunately, in a place where I view suicide threats, self destruction, or physical and emotional abuse as fun or silly. But then I do realize we are all at different places in our recovery.
and yes, a lot of 'alanons' are also alcoholics and addicts in recovery (they call us double winners. Yay.), so yes..theres people in addiction recovey here reading all the time. Yes, safe place to share experience, strength, hope..but I don't know of anywhere besides some really unhealthy therapy sessions full of resentments and bitterness where poking fun (theres tthat word again) at a group of people should be tolerated, much less encouraged.
