.Finding a need for balance-meeting makers make it

Do you spend more time on line in NA related forums than talking to addicts in RL?

Do you share more stuff on line than you do with your sponsor and close friends in RL?

If so, you may be suffering from cyber-recovery.

there is help.

put down the mouse.

turn off the computer.

pick up your phone and call an addict that lives near you.

meet them at a NA meeting.

stay for the whole meeting

go out for coffee afterwards

go home and do the same thing tomorrow.

just a note from a concerned addict who sees more and more people posting on how this site is their "recovery", or the spot that they get their "recovery" from.

This is a forum, not a meeting.

these are OL people here, not your sponsor

learn the difference between cyber-recovery and real life recovery.

it may save your life someday.

I love staying connected.

Yea,the addict that mailed it has no idea that I do service at
"cyber-recovery".
That was a weird co-incedence.
I do try to keep a balance tho,making meetings,at least 3 a week.
I always try to keep what it says about the symbol in mind.

I stay connected locally also, but there have been times when i have stuck more closely online. I am more balanced at least with that today.
