Organize a meeting like AA

[Liv]

Hello,my name is Liv. I keep thinking about an idea that how about we organize a meeting like what alcoholics anonymous does. Just share, talk and let each other know that we are not alone. For me, MD is a addiction. I believe people finding this forum either have MD or already have conquered it. Those experience is valuable and meaningful for every one suffering MD. I heard that because of epidemic some AA meetings are transferred online in zoom. Maybe we can do the same things too. I mean we probably are from all over the world, so this is definitely a safe space for everyone. Leave a comment if you are interested.
(I am not a native speaker of English, and just hope my message is clear)

I love this idea. I would love to be a part of it.

Hey, I loved this idea!

[Yelena Cheeli]

Your idea is completely adorable! I would definitely participate

[Khloé]

Yes, I would love this! Please let me know if this gets arranged. I’ve actually heard MD be described like drug addiction, except its a psychological addiction which makes a lot of sense. I believe we could really benefit from an AA type of structure.

Dear @Liv 

I also believe this is a great idea. In fact, I have organized something like that in the Italian association, we meet every Monday.

The difficulties to do it here are mainly two: this is a worldwide community (with different time zones) and that members are active for a short time and then they disappear. We could create meetings and having only two or three people joining.

But there's hope as long as I have people who are willing to help me with it.
