Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 Does anyone ever try the Egroups chat for this list? I've gone a few times and no one ever seems to be there. Anyway, if anyone's interested, click on the link for this group and then goto chat.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 1999 Report Share Posted August 15, 1999 Nope, have never tried the chat.. Maybe we should schedule a chat just to try out the feature. We all live on different sides of the earth though... Apple > Does anyone ever try the Egroups chat for this list? I've gone a few times > and no one ever seems to be there.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 1999 Report Share Posted August 15, 1999 Apple, I wrote three messages for the group early this morning and they still haven't posted. Are our writings really monitored by some whodoo voodoo guy somewhere? I find it really odd. They are in my sent file but have not appeared here. Well, that kept me from my housework for awhile!!!!!! I'll check back after the floors are done. (I'm getting ready for an appraisal and am playing Martha with perhaps a little feng shui.) Is that how you spell it???????

Guest guest Posted August 16, 1999 Report Share Posted August 16, 1999 Hmmm... well, I basically have been checking the chat thing like, lunch time and 10:00pm or so, east coast time. I'll keep checking it. I just have been keeping a window with it open because then people can at least see that there's someone in there. If you see me in there, at least send something, even if I don't respond - probably means that I have it running in the background - but at least I'll know someone's interested in using it when I check back. I think it would probably be cool to use the chat thing. It seems people are interested in something like that because of the frequency at which certain people post to the list. Anyway, a little about me. I rejected the disease model from the getgo of my " recovery " . After 4 years clean in NA/AA, I was basically at a crossroads - either use or do something different. So, I started an NA meeting called " Freethinkers NA " . We ditched all the readings and steps and God and all that. We actually have our own readings which are pretty cool. Could be I'll post them sometime. Anyway. The meeting is pretty cool. The three real solid members we have are me with 4 years, and two other program-haters with 9 years apiece. All of us talk about leaving the fellowship and how much the fellowship sucks and the steps suck and God sucks. Newbies should up every once in a while, but when they hear that there's " no recovery " in the rooms, they tend to not come back - suits us just fine. We have us and a few people that come consistently. You may be thinking - well, you're a sell out for keeping it an NA meeting. My thought is like this - no, not really. Its like we're attacking from the inside. I can't tell you how happy I was when we finally made it onto the regional meeting list. I was super happy because I knew that if any of the people who had any say about what meetings go into the list and which don't knew about our meeting, they wouldn't have let it be in. " WHAT? No steps, no sponsors, all they have is clean time - must be dry drunks " - or something to that effect. We get newbies and we get to expose them to a different way to look at " the program " . Oh yeah, the best part is that we refer to all other NA members as " Washies " (short for brainwashies). Its pretty cool. We've started to get taunted at washie meetings by people that catch wind of our meeting. Hehe. Keep coming back... Keep coming back... Keep coming back... Keep coming back... Keep coming back...

Guest guest Posted August 16, 1999 Report Share Posted August 16, 1999 Alan: I logged on at work today, and to my delight saw that two people were in the chat area, however my browser crashed when loading the chat page. Tried MS Internet Explorer as well as Netscape. I can get it from home. It is a good idea to have the chat window open like you say. I'll do it too when I " m at the 'puter for a long stretch. May I ask a quiet, soft spoken little question.. HOW IN TARNATION DID YOU GET YOUR FREETHINKERS MEETING ONTO THE REGIONAL MEETING LIST!! This is fantastic. No, I think it's great that you have a freethinker meeting. To blow 12 step groups to smithereens is an unrealistic goal. There are too many desperate people, and the infrastructure is already in place. I think that formations of groups like what you describe are a good thing. I like your use of the word " washies " . Ken Ragge discusses this in his book, namely how the use of humor disempowers the rigid dogmatic steppers. One example he cites, which I love, is when steppers say " nobody ever drank while working the steps " , the appropriate response is: " no, but they sure drink a lot afterwards " . If you have time, can you post some of these original writings? Apple > Hmmm... well, I basically have been checking the chat thing like, lunch time > and 10:00pm or so, east coast time.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 1999 Report Share Posted August 18, 1999 Apple, Here are the only readings for NA freethinkers (Columbia, MD): Open With: This meeting was founded by NA members who question the assumptions of the NA program. We encourage freedom of thought in our meetings. We do not ask that you restrict your discussions to problems with drugs. We also encourage expressions of doubt or concern about the NA program. We find this approach to be highly spiritual and in accordance with the principle of honesty in Narcotics Anonymous. The format of our meeting is as follows: The meeting is an hour long. In the first portion, we share one at a time, as in typical meetings. Each person may share as many times as they like, and in no particular order. When everyone is done sharing, the meeting becomes an unstructured conversation. Close With: " We come from various walks of life and experience, so it is natural that we bring with us differing concepts of spirituality. In NA, no one is forced to believe any set of ideas. Each one of use can believe in anything in which we want to believe. This is a spiritual program, not a religion. " (NA: It works how and why pg.20,21) And that's it... no hand holding, brainwashing, God loving, or anything. The readings are pretty moderate compared to how most of us feel and speak of NA/AA. (My other email address is fuk_the_12_steps@...) Anyway... I kept the egroups chat page in a window in the background for a few hours. I even left it on at work all night. It seems that like one or two people per day check it. Sorry to anyone who tried to message me... I only checked it like every 20-30 minutes. Anyway. Later on...

Guest guest Posted August 18, 1999 Report Share Posted August 18, 1999 Hi Alan: Very nice preamble. Love the e-mail address too. I still can't believe that your meeting can exist at all, and I think it's wonderful that it does. I finally contacted e-groups about my chat problem. Seems chat does not work on Macs, so I'm at a loss. I use a Mac at home and at work. So what's the usual meeting size? Do your members go to the standard meetings too?

Guest guest Posted August 22, 1999 Report Share Posted August 22, 1999 Hi all, Apple - yeah, most of the people at " Freethinkers " go to other meetings. I pretty much don't, as I *hate* meetings. Goddamn it - I can't stand to listen to their shit. That's all it sounds like to me - shit. Just non-stop flow of it... " Oh, and then I admitted that my life had become unmanageable - ya know, I'm just going to get current - just for today - I had to admit - I really had to check my motivations - I decided to call my sponsor - I felt like using today " - AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH DIE!!! HATE meetings... whew... not a violent person usually... the groups just kill me... Anyway - I think we gotta get a live chat going on that everyone can do (including you freak Mac people I don't know maybe we can use MIRC or ICQ or one of the webbased ones. It would be cool... Anyone ever hear of the Qs? I think they may be based in DC. But they are like a psudo-cult offshoot of AA. i.e. They are *more* cultlike than AA. My roomate had been a part of them for a while, so my info is through him. Anyway, so like the main thing is that there are specific 'Q' meetings and they are *strictly* controlled by their sponsors. One of the things is that they're not allowed to go to non-'Q' meetings. They treat the big book like it's the word of God and the whole thing is based on this one powerful personality - Q. (or something Q., don't remember offhand). Its a lot of younger-type members of AA and the sponsors are allowed to sleep with their sponsees girlfriends. One member that my friend said used to be in it was sharing in a meeting that his sponsor told all his sponsees to quit their jobs and go live at the beach for a few months. Anyway. Just thought I'd put that out there. Later on, Alan _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
