My first 90-day mark is coming up soon (see my thread, where I discuss my two counts), and I'm looking for ideas. Ideally, I'd like to get together with some people from here. I'm thinking about getting a bottle of Woodford (or Basil H, if Bardy lets), if there are some people to share it with - I don't drink very much.

Also looking for suggestions on location...

How about making a shehechiyanu and a baruch hatov vehameitiv (on new stuff and good wine, I  don't know the halachos for the wine)?

How about someone make a siyum?

A word of caution on meeting people: not everyone you’ve become aquatinted with here on GYE is a person you’d want knowing who you are in real life. Though I’m sure the people you intend to meet are some of the greatest people in the world (while they are presently going through the “ups” of recovery), you have to keep in mind that when they’re not in recovery, addicts have really manipulative and destructive tendencies. Would you feel comfortable exposing yourself to just any GYE member right off the bat?

TOMIM! 100% RIGHT!!

YES YOU NEED TO TRUST PEOPLE MOM ..BUT ONLY ONCE THEY EARN TRUST

SB WHEREVER YOU ARE I WILL DRINK THE WOODFORD

BUT IF YOU USE BASIL HAYDENS CUT IT WITH JUST TWO DROPS OF WATER (OR 7UP)

Yes and no, 7Up.

We have to get out of ourselves, our box, our hiding. Trust too! That's integral for true recovery!

On the other hand, let's not be foolish! I think this is an important consideration and worthy of mention.

What you are saying is no one should ever attend a live SA meeting either, or especially.

Of course nothing beats common sense,
but I cant allow a few to rule the majority and destroy my trust in Hashems children.

...and Ive hopped the mechitza again and hijacked SBs celebration thread :-[ :-[

I'm not saying anything other than "consider risks vs. benefits and act accordingly".

I think you both have valid points and if both of you really thought about you would realize that you agree. Tomim is saying that its ok to meet people from this website just do your research. I wouldnt meet someone that has NEVER posted before. 7up is saying that its great to meet people and you shouldnt shy away from it. You guys are not arguing oppostite points here!!

I guess if/when I figure out where I'm doing it, I'd ask people to PM me...obviously, I wouldn't be interested in exposing myself to someone who I have no idea about...Thank you for the warning, Tomim - and I appreciate the caring!

And 7up, you're always welcome on any thread of mine! Thank you for popping in!

If anyone's ready for a siyum, that'd be an awesome combo...

You can do it in any random shul. Nobody but you guys will know what it's about.
