With people suggesting outing for AA and realisation that alot
of people actually have much bottomed up in themselves, I've just
done a little thinking..
This is just at a brainstorming stage. Thought of organising
outings (AA 'live' sessions'). Reasons being to better facilitate
suggestion of solutions to individuals through verbal discussions
(which would be more interactive and speedy compared to online). Of
course, this would not replace AA forum's position as some people
would still prefer to post online to their convenience and advices
through the 'live' sessions would be restricted to advices given by
only those who can make it for the 'sessions'. It can also act as a
support group where people who's down in their life can listen to
what others have to say and share, and to exchange numbers for
future contacts if they want?
The IDEA is for people to E-MAIL or PM me and have their identity a
CONFIDENTIALITY if they find it necessary. Their problems (e-mail
or PM) would be discussed over during 'sessions'. I've also
realised that some people might not like their story to be posted
out in the open. So here's some suggestions to cater for different
cases...
1. People who want their cases discussed but can choose whether to
have their ID withhold. In the case where ID is withhold, the
person might wanna use a representative nick so that I can address
him / her.
2. People who want their stories withhold from posting online.
Their story would not be posted online but instead only the reply
would be posted. Keeping as little detail in reference to the
original story as possible. Only the representative nick would be
mentioned.
3. People who want their replies to be e-mailed back to them.
With that, I should mention again that this is only a brainstorm
stage.
I would like to hear more opinions and suggestions, and whether
forumites think this is a service which they can use?
