Like-Minded Group Chat?

Recovery
#1

I’m not sure if this is allowed or not but I have an idea. What if some of us needing a smaller, intentional group used a free group chat app and the people who have the same or similar core values from here can join?

Would be 10 people or less at first but people who:

  • Are actively choosing sobriety

  • Needing a group of sober friends

  • Open-minded and thoughtful

  • Open to sharing your own stories/struggles and who can relate to and encourage others in the small group

I have no idea what free app to use but I believe we can protect our privacy and have something more intimate where we can actively support each other. People can leave as they please. Maybe discord? About Discord | Our Mission and Values

Thoughts? (Yes, these are all my dogs having their own discussion
:D)

Yea, I’m not sure how to feel about your question. I just joined LOOSID, and the people in this community (who I don’t know personally) are making me feel like they are there if I need to talk, text, or call them. Amazing support?

I think everyone on here is “intentional”, but at different moments in the struggle.

I understand what you are saying. The idea only came to me when I saw a few posts of people asking for something that felt a little more personal. I only recently joined and find this incredibly helpful. Thank you for your thoughts Liz.

Take your time and settle in. Read, digest or seek their support. Be protective of you right now. I think there are amazing people on here who will weigh in and support you.

Are you thinking like a set time for a chat? Or a free form kinda thing?

I would stay away from discord. It logs everything and requires a mobile phone number to join. Good idea though!
