RECOVERY is an "open forum" type conversational conference for the discussion of topics related to addictions and recovery from them; also, announcements of RECOVERY related gatherings (conferences, workshops, speaker meetings, etc.) are in order. [The above paragraph does not really LIMIT the topics SINCE we ALL drank or used (or whatever word you choose) over anything and every- thing at one time or another.] RECOVERY is for those involved in the various "12 Step" recovery programs, as well as for those WHO ARE not involved in a recovery program but WHO HAVE a desire to deal with recovery from THEIR additive BEHAVIOR AND ARE INTERESTED IN CONVERSING WITH THOSE WHO ARE INVOLVED IN 12 STEP PROGRAMS. This includes AA, NA, Al-Anon, OA, EA, SLAA and many other such 12-step-BASED groups. -- Rules: Darned few! Promotion of "commercial ventures" such as treatment facilities or clinics is not in order. General rules of social conduct are always in order. Repeated "abusive/annoying" messages * may draw comment from the moderator or be brought to the attention * of the Moderator by other conference participants. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE: As RECOVERY is not a part of or affiliated with _ANY_ recovery program, attempting to impose traditions, membership requirements, etc. of any specific program is out of order. To SysOps: Please refrain from posting "test" messages in this conference. The additional traffic of tests and the resulting replies is not desirable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ** It is OK to give a [business not another members] address or telephone number in response to a direct request from a co-user of the echo, without further comment (no price listing or list of items etc).

After talking with both Rich Ward and Tim Dill, they have given me permission to post a message to you about the SIP_SAA echo. (Thanks you guys 8-} ) I am the new moderator of the echo and have made some major changes. First off, there is no more gating of Internet messages... so that anyone who wishes to maintain anonymity will once again be able to have that on the echo. I understand that over the last while, the attitude and feeling of the echo as being a safe place to share has changed... I hope to bring that feeling back again. If anyone is interested in joining us in a non-judmental SAFE place, please feel free to pop on in... If anyone has any questions or concerns about the echo, please feel free to contact me either in SIP_SAA, or through netmail at 1:3404/155. I hope to see some of the 'old' faces back in there... 8-} Chow chow chow................for now..............Sharon Stevens. * SLMR 2.1a * Old Grammarians never die....they just fall into a coma! --- Maximus 2.02 * Origin: The Rusty PipeLine - Quesnel, B.C.
