How about an A.A./N.A. forum on the Shroomery?
    #14160039 - 03/21/11 03:56 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

I for one think it would be pretty awesome.  Likeminded shroomerites able to discuss their issues with drugs and alcohol in regards to having to go to meetings or what have you where there are people they can only relate to in their addiction, but not as much their viewpoint on substances.  If that makes sense.  I for one have been battling alcohol addiction for the better part of my 20s.  ive lost so much.  so many loves, lovers, vehicles, friends, family, jobs, money, been arrested, etc.  Ive been on and off the wagon.  At this point in my life, after having worked my way to get all of it back, ive once again lost it after drinking again after a decent amount of sober time.  So, im going back to meetings, say what you will, and for the first time, im reading the big book.  probaly was my mistake all the other times.  Its a pretty trippy book and makes alot of sense.  anyway, thats the course im gonna take this time around in trying to rid myself of these beast.  I just sometimes find myself alone without a meeting to go to where i feel the need to talk and think there are proly some of us here that could use some insight as well as share what we are going thu.
i know there are plenty of naysayers out there, but, i for one have had it.  i was just online looking up some online AA message boards, and just thought to myself, how great would it be if we could have a community of fellow shroomerites working on recovery to be able to share with each other. 
god knows how many times i see a post about someone realy at their wits end with drugs and/or alcohol in the pub. 
i dont know.....what say u.  just a thought, but, i think itd be cool.  :shrug:

Big Gulps!  Alright!  Well,  See ya later!
And if i claim to be a wise man, well, it surely means that i dont know!

Eh. I think it kind of falls under physical/mental health. You can post anon too, so you can just let it all out. drug addiction really is a health issue... :shrug:

good idea nonetheless though. I'm sure some would find it useful.

I like it. :thumbup:

seems like theres a lot of wise people around here who have been through all sorts of addictions and probably have a lot of insight to offer.

but I wouldn't call it an A.A. board. Lots of people don't like A.A. Like, if going to meetings gets you to where you want to be with your addictions then congratulations. :thumbup: you found something that works for you. But I think it'd be a really really bad idea to try to send the message that A.A. is the best or only way to get clean.

But yeah I think it's a great idea.

Because addiction has nothing to do with spirituality. I presume.

Yeah why just alcohol addiction, you're not the only one with a problem :shrug: . Either ODD or an addiction forum in general.

:lol: since when is ODD anything even close to a sobriety forum?

I don't see anything wrong with trying to offer advice  on sobriety with a spiritual undertone. As long as no one gets pushy and just puts it out there just as a sugestion, why the fuck not? I've recently made a serious positive health change with the help of my spiritual beliefs. (losin weight, losin weight :grin:)

Good Idea.
Could do sub forum under physical/mental health.
Being it's own separate thing pertaining to only addiction might get more posts there and it would be easier to follow threads.

Because people do get pushy, and it's NOT just a suggestion.
It is a required part of A.A. and N.A.

ODD is about drug discussion, seems most logic to open a thread there about remaining sober/addiction problems

You want a discussion going on but don't hope too much on a new forum so just go ahead and open a thread

Honestly ODD is just about the worst place someone who is fiending should go. There are normally tons of thread on the main page of it talking about getting high on whatever. Just a thought...

Which is why I said calling it an A.A./N.A. board is a bad idea. I would hope that Ythan and the others behind the scenes wouldnt want online A.A. meetings happening on their forum.

Tons of people quit without A.A. Just call it a sobriety board. And if people wanna post about how A.A. helped em quit then fine. Maybe that info will help someone. But I have a feeling that a sobriety board here would not get filled up with A.A. propaganda.

:shrug: I just had a vision of a board where people could talk about there struggles with addiction and give eachother advice. Share their experiences, y'know? Maybe sober people could give advice and talk about how they got clean. For some people that will mean talking about A.A. and how much it helped them. For a lot of people A.A. wont even be a part of the conversation.

idk, putting a subforum for sobriety inside ODD is like having to walk through studio 54 to get to the N.A. meeting in the back room.

Very good point. Someone looking to get off a substance shouldn't have to see the threads glorifying the substance they're trying to get off.


It's very very easy to change your viewpoint on if you're committed to stop.

I consider myself recovering addict and I still love drugs and use GBL/LSD/Ketamine very occasionally.

NA/AA forum would be great.

Initially I thought OP's idea was a pretty solid one, but morrowasted makes a really, really good point.

Like he said, if one is truly interested in getting sober, paying regular visits to one of the premier drug websites on the internet should probably be avoided.

i can dig that for sure.  its just that in most any type of recovery program or what have you that ive been in, im grouped in with people that have never experienced, let alone heard of psychedelics.  i just feel that some of us have at least a similar background in that respect, and maybe it could be of some benefit.
