So - it's been months. How are you doing? I finally have 10 months under my belt and I'm feeling pretty great about that.

It would be easier to start later in the spring I think - the weather is nicer... and now that the bus strike is over, it will be easier. Advertising is a trick though...

The first hurdle will be for one of us (preferably both of us!) to get 6 months under our belts. I wonder if Lifering would give us access to the group material without that? I'll ask around in the chat. John is pretty up on everything and so are Lou and Sylv

I'm not sure what that actually entails. The goal these days is just to keep me off the etho for as long as possible.

Brockville - too far for me for sure. There HAVE to be people here that would welcome a not-AA experience. If there is us, then there have to be more. Getting the word out is the issue... We could make fliers for the public library!

Could we not unofficially try to find people and meet and then work our way to 6 months I wonder? We might find someone with 6 months. I'm in a treatment centre but haven't gone through the intensive yet. Hopefully in April - that's the goal.

I haven't found any - nor in Toronto even. But if there were, I'd sure be there. Are you in Ottawa?
