Hi Katie,
I have been trying to figure out this messaging and I think I finally have. I have seen your pictures you posted and you look awesome! I went to a couple of your support meetings when you first started them and would love to come again. Could you tell me when and where your next meeting will be? I hope I will be able to figure out how to receive your message. I have really been struggling with this site. In case if you would like you can call me at 503-876-8823. I got to have my surgery on July 7th and I am really excited to meet up with you and others. I will look forward to hearing from you.

Topic: Take a Chance!

Hello fellow Pacific North Westerners! I am attempting to organize a clothing exchange for JULY 17th...7-9 pm. We all have gained and lost and along the way accumulated clothes. I would like to share some of mine that are in NEW, EXCELLENT and GOOD condition with you and would like to invite others to do the same! I am not charging a cost and would require the same from those who participate unless it is a special item like formal wear ... then you can price it and maybe have luck selling it. I would like it to be that we bring clothes worthy of passing on and sharing with others who know and value our struggles. A fun way to find and share clothes as well as meet others who understand and relate! I will go through if I know for sure at least 6-8 people commit to participating. I have reserved my apartment club house for the event and hope that you will join me!! I live in Oregon City..just down from Clackamas Com. Col. PLEASE Contact me if you want and need more details or would like to participate.OR even if you just want to come take a look!! I really look forward to making this happen and am willing to rotate locations with those who join!! Refreshments and snacks on ME!!

Oops, Michael. Sorry. That's my brother's name (he's an ass), so I must have an avoidance to typing it - LOL.

I was thinking more about this and recalled that there used to be a forum for Addictions here on OA. I found one on Mental Health, but it looks pretty quiet.

Topic: RE: food addict HELP!

Hi Michelle! I'm an addict too. Cigarettes and food are my current substances. I can branch out into spending if I'm not careful. Have also had periods of social drinking, but could see it going out of control if my other crutches disappear. In my past, I also had serial relationships or was too clingy.

What the heck will I do with my stress/emptyness if I can't turn to stuffing myself? I think that's one of the factors that has been keeping me from stepping up and having surgery.

I've gone to OA for short periods, but I think maybe it is a good idea to reconsider and take a new look at it.

You've taken a great step in just posting so honestly.
