BENEFITS OF COSO

Wow, I don't need to go to another site to see doomscrolling, there's enough of it here.

We ARE going to get through this together.

The implosion is going to take a little longer than we timelined.

@Madken65 I'm asking quite seriously: are you ok brother? It's hard times right now.

@stueytheround @Madken65

Maybe not dancing, but we have gotten through this before.

Do positive things, and share with others information about the things you found to do, instead of catastrophizing about the negative.

Like support the ACLU. Their lawyers are going to be busy. They're working for us.

@Madken65

If we care about CoSo Village, we need to support each other in the healing. Each person has their own wounds to heal.

Please be supportive.

Trying to be, I'm channeling Cher and trying to get peeps to SNAP OUT OF IT.

That is all...

@Madken65

There is no “snapping out” of grief. It is a process.

@LnzyHou @Madken65 Amén. I’m trying to give it space to work it’s way through. In that spirit most days I’m doing a 10 minute guided meditation using Headspace.

I’ve been in recovery enough to know I’ll be more effective in the long run.

Also, I’m starting to look outward, to resistance.

@Cecepax @Madken65

It is complicated as you cannot bring this issue into meetings. My sons are 25+ yrs AA & NA. They are working very closely with sponsees to help them (and themselves) from going out.

We have to give everyone time.

@LnzyHou @Madken65 Thank you! Some folks in my home group are looking at having a small gathering of AA maybe a potluck. The idea being so we can check in with each other & see what others are doing to support their recovery during this time.

Bravo to your sons!
I have 35 years.

@Cecepax @Madken65

Great idea. My heart is broken that their hearts are broken. So glad then have their programs, sponsors, sponsees etc

@Cecepax

Nice to meet you. As a very blue dot in a red state, it's been especially difficult to focus on the "primary purpose" f2f when surrounded by those who shamelessly put the cult-of-personality before principles. So doggone grateful for this safe haven and the amazing community of which we are a part. ☕

@LnzyHou @Madken65

@fugitive247 @LnzyHou @Madken65 Yes!!
I’m in Indiana. Oppressively red, but there are I
have progressive friends inside the rooms & out.
That being said the strong waves of fear and dread are real and talking to folks in recovery is helpful.
I’m fortunate because I’ve been living here 12 years & in AA for 35, so I found some like-minded folks in the rooms over the years.

May the Force be with you! ♥️

I am a worrier. My Grammy used to tell me to "quit borrowing trouble."
She taught me to save my energy for when trouble arrived.
My Grammy was wise.
