    TO TELL OR NOT TO TELL????????

    Don't tell. I couldn't stand it if some of my friends read my stuff. If she finds it herself, so be it.
    It always seems impossible until it's done....

      Help Jacqui.....I'm with Flip....if it's meant, as it was for all of us...she'll find it (then what, I don't know!!)

      I often wondered about this....I would be really uncomfortable with anyone I know seeing so deep under my skin!!! But I'd feel badly for my friend and RJ!!

      Good luck to you and to your friend...I am sure you will admirably pass on lots of tips and advice you have gleaned from MWO anyway...perhaps RJ herself has got some advice on this too?...

      Love

        Jacqui ... at this stage, this is YOUR safe place. Don't dilute it. When we start, we need the safety of anonymity.

        Should your friend find MWO - so be it. Worry about that if/when it happens.

            Don't tell, just help her in other ways

              Nope... You can help, but this is your sacred place to heal. You can't do it if you know someone is watching... You come first...
              Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them, but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

                Hi jacqui,
                I totally agree with the others. I understand you feeling that you wish to "share" the site with your friend, as it`s been instrumental in the success of yourself and of so many others. However, introducing your friend to MWO would most likely cause you to feel more restricted in what you can post. Anonymity is priceless with regard to seeking help for alcohol abuse.........I recently editted my location from my profile, as I value that anonymity.

                At the end of the day, not telling her isn`t selfish........you are in no way depriving her of the site. The opportunity is always there for your friend to stumble across M.W.O. herself...........like yourself and so many of us here had to. You would likely find that you no longer wanted to be here if you told her.........I don`t think any of us really deserve to put ourselves in that position. :l

                  That would depend on how close a friend you are to each other. However, this is your safe haven. If it's meant to be it will happen. It doesn't necessarily need to happen thru you. I have encouraged people to places I enjoyed and the next thing I knew, they either took it over or they ruined for me and I stopped benefiting. It doesn't make you selfish to protect what's working for you. Play your cards close to your vest. She can buy the same Supps over the counter at a health food store. She doesn't need to know anything else... if you so feel moved. And there is Smart.Org and several other sites on line if you choose to encourage her in that direction. Good luck... but I vote you keep it to yourself.

                    I agree with everyone. Do not tell. You would never feel comfortable to post honestly and we all need you to remain here and stay open and honest with us. If she found this sit e herself you would have to deal with that, but I say

                    Don't Tell!!!

                      There are some other good sites to tell her about.
                      One of them is SMART Recovery?
                      She will find links from there also but I've never seen one to MWO on there.
                      There are also many good books to share with her.

                      Help yourself....first......you have to...

                        I agree with everyone else, you could also suggest the book "Seven weeks to Sobriety" as there are a lot of people here who recommend it, and it has a similar approach to nutrition and supplements as MWO....
                        Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find joy in overcoming obstacles (Helen Keller)

                          Jacqui, the only way I'd tell her is if I'd change my name. But even then a new child on her way at your age......probably wouldn't be hard to guess.........I wouldn't tell.
