How about "Toot for the day" thread?

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.

When the news about Rush broke... I began to notice that the BREAKING News/AP link from Drudge's site had ads from the 'Florida Detox' center...

Congratulations on your recovery, Laz.

The thread sounds like a great idea.

Sorry, thought you'd see the humor in it.
But would it be able to keep from becoming an anti-Ashcroft WOD thread? I know that is not your intent, but there are enough people on FR who have that as their main agenda and will sour your thread. But I'd be interested to see how it goes. I went thru the 12 step assisting a friend years ago.

12 step bump - I'd be interested to see where this might go.

Coke is a tuff one - I am pleased to see you a year out. If there's going to be a ping-list then sign me up

Hence the *.Anonymous. Just because you or I may be in recovery isn't a good reason to walk around this board with a bullseye on for every a$$hole here to take a shot at.

Food for thought.

$.02

Exactly. I suppose it's because FR is huge, but people here seem to feel no hesitation at all in making fun of other freepers.

This is the only message board I've ever belonged to where people feel that way.

Totally uncalled for comments. I agree with you Lazamataz that this would be a great place to share progress on the journey to " wholeness".....

I vote for the daily thread. BTW, I am glad I can agree with you on something. I certainly did NOT agree with you during the re-call!!*grin*
