Guest guest Posted November 20, 2000 Report Share Posted November 20, 2000 Hello: Is de Denmark or Germany, I forgot? I am happy people in Europe are joining 12-step-free. The abomination of AA is becoming a world problem, like AIDS. While all people in AA, trying AA, or confounded by AA suffer from Recovery Group Disorders, there is a quick cure, unlike AIDS. If you want to quit for good, or become part of legal action against AA try out www.rational.org/recovery too, your identity is safe joining one of their discussion groups. If you want to just get out of AA, ask lots of questions here, but I advise you that it is wise to keep your true identity OUT of all databases that might identify you as formerly chemically dependent. I am not concerned about mine because, as many on this list, I have chosen to risk being known as formerly chemically dependent.

We're just having a bit of an off-topic flamewar. People are starting to bow out, so it should run its course soon. Welcome to the group. I hope you'll stick around long enough to see our usual, more civil behavior. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 I saw Dottie very briefly today, and she's doing great. Her husband and 5-year-old son showed up, so I didn't stay long, but really, things seemed to be going well. She was drinking juice and had been up to walk once. - AA lyssais@... wrote: > > Hi everyone, > Hope you are all well ... > Sally I can't believe how fast your date is coming up > I'm glad Kim was approved! > Did anyone hear about Dottie how she did today? > - you can upload your picture to our files section here at > the list. > Well another busy day .. lots of snow!!! and about 15F here in > Ottawa, Canada. > Home soon > Lyssa > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hello all, I am new to the group and new to the concept of intuitive eating. I got online yesterday and decided to look for weight loss support and found this group listed among many others. All I knew was that I didn't want to join Weight Watchers for the umpteenth time. Unlike some of the posts I've been reading here I am not addicted to the scale. On the contrary - I avoid it like the plague! I think my problem has always been my ability to live in denial, but I'm 55 now and it's hard to deny the fact that I have lost much of my mobility. My knees and lower back hurt so much I can hardly walk. A simple trip to the supermarket exhausts me so much that I'm finished for the rest of the day. I don't go out much anymore and often avoid social engagements. I need help, and I know it, but I don't know what to do. Even now, I question whether or not this approach will work or if it is just another attempt on my part to avoid having to let go of my addiction to sugar and other carbs. My eating is certainly emotional. I use food to compensate myself for everything else in life that I want and don't have (a successful relationship, financial abundance, etc.). I look forward to reading some of the books listed and learning more about IE through the group discussions. Thanks for allowing me to join you.
