@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. ☕

@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! ♥️
