Hi are there any na members on this site ?? It would be nice to chat with you



ThatDizzyChick -> RE: Na members (5/14/2016 4:27:18 AM)

What is an "na member"?



MsLadySue -> RE: Na members (5/14/2016 4:30:40 AM)

Perhaps Narcotics Anonymous?



ThatDizzyChick -> RE: Na members (5/14/2016 4:49:54 AM)

Oh yeah, could be. I was thinking it was something BDSM related.



DesFIP -> RE: Na members (5/14/2016 6:00:07 AM)

There used to be some Friends of Bill here.

Sodium?


Usually it's written with a capital N, as in "Na+".



WickedsDesire -> RE: Na members (5/14/2016 8:48:04 PM)

DaddySatyr -> RE: Na members (5/14/2016 8:58:51 PM)


I believe the poster is referencing (N)arcotics (A)nonymous which is an "off-shoot" of (A)lcoholics (A)nonymous.

LilJuly76 -> RE: Na members (5/15/2016 4:58:20 AM)

maybe he should join an addictions board?



DaddySatyr -> RE: Na members (5/15/2016 6:37:17 AM)


Unfortunately, the Twelve-Step programs have become embroiled in the rest of the world created by the "feelings matter most" crowd and anyone involved in our lifestyle cannot identify that way because WIITWD is seen as "addict behavior" and counter to "recovery"

Maybe you shouldn't be the arbiter of who gets to be a member here or who doesn't?

DesFIP -> RE: Na members (5/15/2016 7:09:13 AM)

Fet probably has some groups devoted to 12 steppers. Can't speak to how active they are.



LilJuly76 -> RE: Na members (5/15/2016 8:11:11 AM)

I wasn't, just making a suggestion, I knew someone with an addiction that joined an addiction online group just for support and they found it real helpful talking to people with other addictions.



DaddySatyr -> RE: Na members (5/15/2016 8:43:30 AM)


Perhaps you can understand why I took this:

as I did? Maybe not.

I took the OP as a person who was already involved in recovery who wanted to meet someone already in recovery (smart move) that is also into our lifestyle. Hence, my post about why an "addictions board" wouldn't suit their needs.

Your post (which I quoted) certainly seemed like a "this isn't the place for this" admonishment. If you're saying it wasn't, I accept that and apologize for my misunderstanding and subsequent reaction.

LilJuly76 -> RE: Na members (5/15/2016 9:05:54 AM)

like I said it was only a suggestion based on friends of mine finding addiction boards very helpful along with professional help, kinda the same reason why when I was on fet I joined submissive and slave groups, I felt them helpful as well. Didn't mean any harm by it.

This is not correct.

Unlike the "feelings vrs facts" mantra that some folks would like to perpetuate, addiction IS endorsed by the AMA as a disease in it's own right. Perhaps certain people have forgotten that.

~~~

OP, there used to be folks who talked openly on these boards about being members on these boards of being members of NA or AA. As you have seen, certain members of these boards made sure they were known to be unwelcome here.

Most of those who were here prior have gravitated to Fet. There are groups over there like "12 Step Kink" and "BDSM and 12 Step AA and NA" that can be found with a search. (If you need help finding them, I'll try to help you do that.) I would encourage you to seek them out. Unfortunately, I doubt you will find the answer to your query here.

Best of luck. May you find the support you seek, elsewhere.

Yes, there are people here from North America.

Although most of the ones in this thread are probably feeling stupid right now.



LilJuly76 -> RE: Na members (5/15/2016 2:43:10 PM)

oh man I didn't even think about that, sounds more feasible that he means North America I would think

I depends. For instance, if you would have me become addicted to you, I would not consider that addiction to be a disease. [;)]
