Want to Hang Out?

I started working the 12 steps a little over a year ago.  It's been so healing and helpful.  I have a wonderful sponsor and we talk often about my struggles, learning, and progress.  All of this has been awesome, but until recently my connection with other women has still been pretty small.  I live in a somewhat remote area, and there is no women's support group for pornography addiction. Finding you women on-line has been like a breath of air for me.  I love getting new ideas and perspectives and sharing thoughts on difficult times. It's made me realize how much I want a support group just like so many of you have.  And since step work is teaching me to advocate for my own needs I thought, why not start an online meeting?

Our "trial run" was last night and it went great.  I met with two other wonderful sisters and we shared our stories and our hopes for recovery via webcam from our own little corner's of the world.  It was sweet.

If you don't have a meeting in your area, why don't you join us?
If babysitting is an issue, you could come here.
If you want an extra meeting to attend, we'd love to have you. 


Here are the details. We'll meet each Thursday night at 7:30 west coast time. (The time is not set in stone, as we can try to accommodate others who might be on later time zones if there is interest/need.) We will read from the LDS church Family Support Manual for the first 15 minutes or so and then open the meeting for personal sharing.  I anticipate that the meeting will last around an hour and then after the meeting is closed with prayer those who want to stay online can chat for as long as they'd like.  I think it would be awesome for our virtual world to become a little more tangible.  I'd love for you all to see me and hear my voice and know that my story has a face to it.  A face that I'm cautious to share to the world, but more than happy to share with someone in a similar situation.

If you'd like to join in, please get in touch with me through a comment or email. I'll give you the specifics on how to get connected with the group.
