I asked earlier about chatroom sitting. Have you come up with any ideas to keep the chatroom filled? It seems we have people right before a scheduled meeting, during and maybe after but that's it. We sued to ahve people there all the time.
If I drop in and the room is empty I try waiting around for 5 or 10 minutes at least. If everybody did that, we'd keep the room filled. Pople would check in and stay. instead of popping back out. I was hoping the new owners woudl find a way to do chat sitting.
Sunnygirl on leave, lildee on leave, holiday weekend...seems like a ghost town around here. It makes me sad to see EOR this way.

I am willing to do my part my friend. I understand what you mean. I came in from my f2f meeting last night just after 9 p.m. est, popped into chat and no one was there. We wouldn't have busy, if we didn't have recovery. People took time for me and to be there for me, when I came into the doors. I try to put an attitude of gratitude into my recovery by being there for those who come after me. This is a 'we' program and I can't do it alone. When I take what I want and not give back in service to others, I am acting out in the selfish, self-centeredness of my disease. Recovery includes unity and service and as you say, we seem to have a lot of members but our board has become a house not a home. I share because I care, do you? It doesn't matter whether what your drug of choice is, be it liquid, dry, or the flesh and blood variety, we all have the same soul sickness. I can identify with any section on the board I visit. If you don't see anything you can identify with, please post and share something from your own experience, strength and hope.

Yes, yes, Its so important to keep on going to be able to stay up to par with our recovery. I understand that we all have busy lives and ect. I am one of those people! I do tend to think in the back of my mind, that if we don't do something.. one day.. there will be nothing at all in the end. Silence. Empty boards. NO ESH out there. No us. I know we all grow and move on, but recovery is always a part of our daily lives. Thanks Lin for brining this up.

Lildee.. I COULD BE WRONG>>>but i see the times you l listed as teh times they will NOT be ther because they will all be going to a local f2f. I think it's maybe before that time and probably after that time. For me, I will check 1 central and 3 cental on days I am at home.
