Is there a need for a Free Republic daily 12-step thread?

I want to know if there is a need for a 12-step thread on Free Republic, every day (like Word for the Day)?
Many people, myself included, were emboldened by Rush Limbaugh's public confession of addiction. I myself admitted that I am a recovering cocaine addict with almost one year of sobriety (Thank G-d and Narcotics Anonymous for that). There are many others who I feel might benefit from such an ongoing, daily thread.
I'd be willing to host it daily, like RikaStrom hosts Word-For-The-Day. It would necessarily be located in General Interest (chat). Some days when I was rather busy, I might not be able to do more than start this thread, but other days I'd be involved in it closely.
Moderators, could you leave this up in News for a while? I want maximum exposure to the largest possible FR public.

If you think this thread would be a good idea, say so. You don't have to be a recovering addict to think it's a good idea, too.

Good idea, Laz. Just be prepared for to to get hijacked now and again...
And well done, on your own personal boldness.

A week ago I quit smoking (tobaccy) and went on the Atkins diet. I say sure, what the heck.

It would be worth it if it helped one person.

To detox or retox, that is the question.

How about "Toot for the day" thread?and

You are demonstrating the downside of such a thread. If people are intending to come in there and mock people's sincere attempt to get and stay clean, then I'll fold before we even start it.

LOL I thought this thread was about the possibility of starting a thread for people addicted to Free Republic. I was ready to sign up!
On another matter: Kuddos for your remarkable achievement.

I lean toward yes but from what I know about AA they aint affiliated with anyone ...so a real 12 step group may not belong on a consevative forum

Yes, it would but don't fall for the lefty arguments that banning all cars would be worth it... if it just helps one person breathe easier
