Guest guest Posted December 21, 1999 Report Share Posted December 21, 1999 << Hi Matt, I pulled out a nativity scene that I had left over from my Christian experiment a few years back. I set it up and replaced some of the people in it with South Park figures. Kenny replaced the baby Jesus. , Stan, and Cartman are standing in for the Three Kings bearing gifts. And Chef is standing next to ph and , waving his hands claiming the kid isn't his. >> And come Easter when he's crucified... " Aughhhh! they killed Kenny!

Or another alternative is a non-recovery-oriented counseling or discussion group of some kind. Take care of yourself, ~Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 22, 1999 Report Share Posted December 22, 1999 Rita, I wish there were SMART meetings and SOS mtgs here. They just don't exist. The closest are two hours away. I went to a SMART meeting on the internet the other night and no one showed up. I ended up trying to suffer through an AA chat. I've emailed people on the SMART site for info on physical mtg. Never gotten a response. Its funny I do feel ok after AA mtgs but then I hate myself in the morning. Just like with drinking.
