Reading through the topic"wheres everyone from" i couldnt help but notice how many yidden there are here from the holy city.
When I first became aware of my addiction,I decided to join the local slaa group.When I got to the meeting,it was just me and one other guy.
Another meeting found me and several middle aged women who were not really frum.
While aware and respectful of some people's desire for complete anonymity,I am of the strong opinion that an sa or slaa meeting would do good for many people here.While the forum is amazing,there is nothing more helpful than a group meeting in person of sharing and support.
If there are any people interested,maybe we can arrange a meeting.
I can PM'd or emailed and if a meeting is decided on,the details will be messaged privately so it will remain as quiet as possible.
What does the oylam think?

Awesome idea Uri!

But you'd probably need a moderator who has some experience with the 12-Steps... (Maybe someone like Momo, after he's finished going through the big book with Duvid Chaim... )

If anyone in Israel has experience with the 12-Steps, please step forward!

Great idea!

You know Uri, one of the things which makes you so different, is the obvious leadership ability in you. You are constantly coming up with new ideas, threads and insights. Hold on to that gift. Someday it will serve you well.

I'm in Israel too. While I don't live in Jerusalem, Israel isn't such a large country, and I would definitely drive in to Jerusalem to meet you guys.

Allright so we just need a place and a time.Maybe we could get one meeting in before the zman starts,and have them weekly.
Any suggestions?

uri, where was that local slaa group you went to?

maybe we can just meet up in the park and sit there. for now, the only weather challenge may be that it's too hot!

one was in a community center.the other was in a cafe.
i wasnt comfortable with either.
a park to me sounds like the best idea.can be private and comfortable.
