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.

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.

To detox or retox, that is the question.

and

Pinging Druggies!

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
