I have noticed the actions concerning what is refered to as the "13th. steppers".
not always,but at times.
Playing footsies,gawkin' at each other,not payin' attention to the meeting,ect,ect.
I am there at any 12 step meeting/gathering to further my goal of sobriety through fellowship,one day at a time.
I have no power over the actions of another,nor do I desire to.
Enough learning just to let go let God,easy does it,meeting makers make it and just getting out of my way so God to my understanding can guide me today.
As to the bottle/drug being honest bs! dis-ease talkin'.(please don't listen - tis a lie)
God did not place/create my brainworks to just be a hat rack,we are not automation.
Hell I didn't even trust me and still question my motives as stated in the BB.
I have one sponser whom I confide in.(talk that is not appropriate in meetings as in personal info),then there are friends I share stuff with that I don't feel comfortable sharing in a meeting.
For me recovery is real and true,it's up to us how we apply it in our daily lives.

When I start going to meetings, there is no way I will date anyone that is also attending. I'm not there to meet a match; I'm there to get myself straightened out. It really disgusts me that people would use others' misfortunes but I've seen it before and have been a victim of it myself.

Hi Sherry
I don't know anything, beyond something has happened to ignite discussion about internet predators...frankly I don't want to know anymore than that...I'm far more worried about the effects this is having round SR. One of your friends is banned ?
this whole thing sucks, big time.

Discussion of who was banned and why will stop right here. It is not open for public examination. If you feel the need to have your questions answered, please send a PM to Morning Glory. I'm sorry one of your friends had to be banned, but public outcry is not the solution.

LoL...I've seen women hit up on my gf before, many times in recovery.
I've seen guys hitting up on my gf in recovery and out side of recovery.
And a lot on men in recovery talk to my gf becuase
a friendship is a friendship, it dosen't bother me a bit.
And I've been hit up on by men...and gets me asking wtf kind of vibe
I'm given out.
I've been stalked by women.
I've been approched by woman that just wanted to get to know me.
and I've been taken avantage of by some people that's in recovery.
when i was vulnerable aside from just sexual tendency.
However...in my drinking and using extravaganza.
I wasn't a total saint . Some fights and one night stands.
I've put myself in the posistion to be hurt many, many times.
Holi scholy...when my gf was drinking and first got sober,
I thought I was going to loose my mind....
Anyways....There's an Ignore button here on SR if you feel
too sensitive or retentive.
Protect yourself, have a boundary...here and there and everywhere.
