re: Meetings in Delaware

REPOST of meetings in Delaware. Everyone should try to make it to 1 meeting a month. It reinforces the positive tools that we need to be successful on our journey. There are so many newbies that can benefit from the support. Please make this one of your new addictions and it will become the best habit that you can be addicted to. Not to mention the new friends that you will make. Healthy Beginnings meeting is this Thursday night, the 9th, at 7PM. The meeting is geared for the posties, but we encourage all to come. Each month is a different topic and we always have a healthy yummy snack to share. If you need directions or have any questions email me [email protected]. Would love to see everyone.

Elissa, You are always so helpful! I will be going to the Thurday night meeting. See you there, Jen

thank you ellisa for all the info.now i would love to know who goes where and when so i could meet all of you guys.and i surely can use the support.keep up the good job on the info ellisa. your friend bonnie p

Bonnie, Looks like you'll have to try them all. That's the only way to see WHO GOES THERE. Each meeting is different and each one draws on diversity. Once you have been to a couple you can decide which one is for you. We depend on input and support from both oldies & newbies. I have personally been to all but 2 of the meeting places. Each leader needs to post at least a couple days before the meeting to give us a chance to make it. I haven't been to the meeting in Symrna, but I will try one night to make it there in the future. I have been to the PMRI "The 1st 3 months 6 times over the past 2 years. I have been going to support mtgs for 2 yrs. I am post surgery 16 months. Brett X 3. , Drs Irgau, Wynn, & Peters. I have to admit I learn something new each time I go. I always meet new people and rekindle old relationships. You never know who will be influnenced by the support. I know I have felt sooooo much positive vibes & love from supporting others. I have been an to over 25 people and have loved doing it. I am just sorry that NDE/WLS & PMRI conflight on the same night. How are you feeling Bonnie? I am a little forgetful. Did you make it to PMRI on Monday night?? If you need a ride let us know. There is always someone near you that can pick you TT you soon. ((HUGS)) Elissa
