[Businessmtg] Business Meeting - Off Topic

[Vickie Halsell]

Good Morning,

Based on my personal situation, I don't have the option to attend a f2f
meeting.  If I would have something that I needed or wanted to discuss,
this group is the only option I would have to discuss such things.

But, as being fairly new, I like to be able to think about all the shares I
read on the Daily Topic to gain as much ESH as possible.  I feel this is
essential to recovery for all of us.  I don't feel that we should tell
other members they cannot post on Off Topic issues, but they should be
separated from the Daily Topics.  Some members do have some seemingly
serious problems and we are supposed to be here for the support of every
member.  Is it possible to have another email address for Off Topic emails
as was earlier suggested?

I do agree that some members may share more than is really necessary, but
do they understand or has it been explained that they do not need to share
every single detail to the rest of the group?  Or that they should attempt
to find a sponsor to really go in depth with their problems?  I'm fortunate
to have a sponsor, but I also know that I can reach out to another member
if I need to.

Just my thoughts......

Vickie
