Not that I've ever heard of.

In a way, it would be difficult because there is no single program that everyone pursues. In AA or Al-Anon, for example, everyone is more or less on the "same page"--there is a program everyone has in common.

On SR, we have common problems but not everyone pursues recovery via the same solution.

I wish, every time I come here, that we could all meet up and have thought about organizing (or recruiting others to organize he he) a "meet-up."

I was part of an infidelity support internet group and we would meet up every so often. It's wonderful to finally meet the people you grow close to.

I telecommute for work, so I've had the same experience at other conferences and love it.

Too bad there was not a way to find a place somewhere in the middle and we get together. It would be great to meet the people on here.

I've met online friends from several different forums that I'm on. Whenever I travel, I make it a point to let people know where I'll be, and have managed to get together for coffee or lunch or something on numerous occasions. I've even met people for a quick bite or coffee when I'm changing planes at the airport!

It's hard to round up too many people all at once given how far-flung we are and the different schedules and family circumstances we all have, but it's certainly possible to meet in person as the opportunity and inclination present themselves!

We talked about this just a couple months ago
I don't know anything about event planning but I bet we would get good turnout.
