Is there a need for a Free Republic daily 12-step thread?
Oct 12, 2003 | Lazamataz

Posted on 10/12/2003 3:36:11 PM PDT by Lazamataz

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.

Now that the thread has been exiled how do I get to the backroom?

Thanks, IG!

Oh, I thought you were a Libertarian. My mistake.

Or was it the Red Sox comment that got your panties in a wad?

Re #185...

thanks for the link. Since I had zero response from anyone here, I think I'll pass on clicking there. But good luck to you all the same Lazamataz.

I think it's a great idea. Long time coming. If we can have hobbit threads, why not something that can offer some daily support for other needs?

Perhaps you know ChicagoLady's name as well as other Freepers but have any of them stated publicly that they are members of AA or one of the other 12 Step groups?

The purpose of the tradition is today's good public example may be tomorrow's falling down drunk.

I'm posting to you, RBA, because it seems you care.

sometimes I have the feeling that some freepers think they're just too cool to answer people who post to them. Is ignoring people the new modus operandi? Then I'm screwed.

*sigh* I'm sorry, RBA, you seemed like someone who was around and someone who cared, so I posted to you.


Okay, I have the "fake" Thanksgiving tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving, other Canadian Freepers!

this is a stupid argument, btw... what ever it was. :(

Happy Thanksgiving!

And thanks for the reply. I wouldn't go picking on these guys for the effort of this type of thread, I am one of those "been there, done that" in this area.

Whereabouts in Canada are you? I just had some friends over who are just across the border from NY in Ontario.

Well, your friends are close to me! :) Or maybe not... I live right across the river from Ottawa. :) But then, Ontario is a huge province. :)

That might be an idea. . . . . Instead of a pain in the ass I might be able to drop you in the toilet.

Yep.. I feel that way too. And that's the last time I open myself up in an FR thread.

anyway, thanks for your answers, and take care!!! :) :)

and happy Thanksgiving, about a month and a half ahead of time. :) :)

Oh God... this is ridiculous.

I am ashamed of FR. Really.
