Newcastle Support Group now on!
Posted: Mon Oct 19, 2009 2:37 pm
Dear all,
It has been a long time coming, but myself and another Novocastrian sufferer of similar recovery levels, have initiated and are commited to a new support group in NSW's 2nd largest city.
Both of us are reasonably recovered, about 70 - 80%, but need to push the boundaries further out of any possible stale-mate situations that occur when one does not get to do recovery work, especially in a support group situation, often enough.
We met at Stockland Jesmond, and had good success at a relatively AP friendly venue where dividers are predominant, and even in the dreaded 2-man trough.
We plan to meet bi-monthly, ie every 2nd month, for anyone else who is interested.
The venue and dates/times will be decided and posted on this web-site.
If everyone is agreeable to one venue, with as close as possible to the "full spectrum" of difficulty levels, then we will keep it there.
Anyone of any level of recovery is welcome to contact me at
themeades@optusnet.com.au
Like a lot of people whose wives or partners are not particularly supportive of paruresis recovery efforts, we plan to only meet in shopping centres, and not in private homes.
John please feel free to add my name as an official contact -for anyone up in this neck of the woods, where it is still a big deal to get to Sydney.
Regards to all, Derek
