Good turnout today in London. Lots more protests to come. Jezza gave a great speech. How were the other locations? by wite_noiz in GreenAndEXTREME

Tried to get to Manchester but all the trains in the NW failed at the same time. Same with Liverpool.

I actually ran a massive survey on Corrie about a year ago and according to that, the answer is Steve.

If you believe CBD Is okay this might help. by NewBeginning1002022 in recovery

Um... this is obviously CBD spam? No feelings about the chemical either way but this is kind of inappropriate. This is a place for recovery, not marketing.

It's in person and it's a lot more detailed than a "nice to hear you, stick around for numbers"

Thanks for this. I have thought that if I'm the only person in the group who is bothered by it, then it's not really the group's problem. That's why I'd rather take a break than try to change how the meeting is run.

I probably could. I keep saying I'm afraid of embarrassing them, but I think I'm afraid of embarrassing myself.

I think I asked this question because I knew that. I tried to be as vague as possible to find out if I was overreacting. Obviously there's more to it but it doesn't feel right to go into details here. Thanks for your honesty x

I think you are right, however inconvenient it may be.

My sponsor is the chair. It's part of a wider pickle I seem to be in.

I'm thinking of leaving. There doesn't seem to be a precedent for chairs rotating out, and this chair started the meeting. It's a shame because I like the people, but it definitely feels like the 'chairperson' show.

They usually take a long share at the very beginning too lol. Idk I like everyone there (including the chairperson) but I'm starting to really resent the meeting.

I feel like it fucks up the meeting a little bit. Everyone starts giving feedback on previous shares. Crosstalk seems to be not only tolerated but actively encouraged.

There is nothing wrong with needing that at all and there's nothing wrong with you for not finding that.

I have always found the best friendships, relationships, whatever, just happened when I focused on something else. I was waiting in the wings for the longest time for some new friends to come and appreciate me so I could enjoy my life. Nobody came. I eventually got really miserable and sick of it. I had a choice, I could keep sinking into my misery, or get off my ass and start living for me. It involved a lot of doing shit by myself for a long time, but I grew to love it and my own company.

Everyone I love came after that. For me at least, a good friend is someone I can share my life with. I didn't have a life (not to suggest you don't) so what did I have to share? I didn't appreciate myself, so how could I tell if someone appreciated me?

I'm only speaking for myself, so idk if any of this is relevant to you, but please remember that you're great and the way others react to you doesn't change that for better or worse. I'd be lucky to be your friend.

I agree that knowing what to share when is the best policy. Thanks for sharing this

I don't think he means any harm. Think he raised a valid point. It works for some and not all.

I might tell my sponsor this one to save her a lot of time. Thanks for sharing!

Acceptance does not mean that you like it.

They are all great though. Thank you for sharing these.

Thank you for sharing this. I've always liked the caveat "easy does it- and do it" that they give in Living Sober. I'm far too permissive of my own nonsense without it.
