I’ve been doing more in-person stuff and feeling called to create something in-person here in Jacksonville. We have a potential place where we could meet with people but are staying open to more spaces being revealed. I’m noticing that it’s more and more about my connections with people that lead to more expansion and growth. We’ve been talking this month about being intentional with our social connections. How are you facilitating connections in your life? Do you wait for others to create connect or are you being proactive?
I’m proactive when it comes to making online connections, but not in person. It feels like I’m able to find more safe communities on the internet than I am in person, however, I also have been distancing myself from the website I usually frequent for 12 step meetings because it has become an increasingly unsafe environment for me.
Karen Haradem – I am Jennifer. Great to meet you! I have 4.5 years! I totally get the feeling of unsafe at the 12 step meeting. I was going up to 6 times a week to inperson meetings. I started attending less but not consciously aware of this and why I was doing it. When I was down to 1 meeting a week I realized why. There was too much negative energy and I was taking that with out of the rooms. I felt worse after a meeting than I did before! If I attend a meeting it is my home group which is a women’s meeting. My spirituality practices are now leading me on a different journey of recovery and I love it!
Great to meet you too, Jennifer! Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Great sharing Karen and Jennifer. I honor you both for noticing what’s best for you. I find it so important to honor my desire to grow beyond things!
