I'm looking for a group!

Hi out there,
Is there a group meeting in the chat room in the evenings?

Hi Rebecca,
Most of the groups right now are closed with the exception of Thursday night. They started a few weeks ago (3 I think) and are closed so that folks can be comfortable and feel free sharing in them. We should have more groups starting through soon - Debbie and Jenni have both talked about offering additional groups when these finish.

Hanging out here and posting on the forums is another great way to connect with folks too - I know journaling in the Journal section helped me connect with folks when I first started so I highly recommend it!

Hi Rebecca,

There is a group that meets on Thursday nights 8 central time in the community chat room. Julie runs the group, but she is busy for the next few weeks or so, so we have just been meeting and encouraging each other. It is open to anyone, so feel free to come and chat with us! When Julie comes back, we will have a more formal chat with one of the workbooks or books.

This may seem like a dumb question, but how do we "chat"? I went to the forum heading that was labeled as the Thursday night chat and it said you needed a password...Am I missing something?

[Julie]

You can find the instructions for how to get into chat here.

The private chat rooms need a password - Julie's Thursday night chat doesn't thought so you should be ok (although that particular area of the forums do - I'm sure Julie or one of the others can give it to you.)

Rebecca,

You don't need a password for the Thurs. night chat, it is in the community room, which is open to anyone, just follow directions Julie gave below to get into the chat. The group on the forums for Thurs. night does need a password, but we haven't really been using that much. We also have a yahoo group set up for our group so you can send and receive e-mails to the whole group right through your e-mail. This is the link if you are interested in joining.

Hope this helps! If you need any more info. you can e-mail me at kimariel@yahoo.com Tonight is the chat at 8 central time.

I'm new and I live in Puerto Rico and there are no support groups here, I joined with a friend and we keep in daily contact but she lives in Pennsylvania. I would like to know if there is an online support group that is just beginning

Please let me know, Ive

Hi Ive and welcome to the fourms!
We have a group starting in a few weeks - you can see the announcement in the general discussion section of the forum - it's more of an intermediate group though as opposed to a beginner group. I think in about 6 - 8 weeks though we should have another beginner group starting as well.

There is a group that has been meeting on Thursday evenings that is open to all however I'm not sure where it is in the meeting cycle right now and if it is active or not.

Keep hanging around and you will find a group that works for you!

Hi Ive,

I go to Julie's Thursday night group, which meets at 8 cst. Julie has been busy for a few weeks, so we are just chatting informally and praying and encouraging each other. When Julie comes back we will be going through the Eden Diet workbook together. It is very similar to Thin Within. Many of us have been through the TW workbooks and books a few times, and just wanted some different material to work through. I'm sure in the future we will go through the TW material again. Julie's group is open to anyone, at any stage of TW, and is ongoing, so you can come at any time. If you don't have the book, that is ok, too, since Julie will usually put the questions on chat and any related info. We meet in the community room, so you don't need a password. We would love to have you if you want to check it out some time!

Just curious, where does your friend in PA live? I live in Slatington, PA.
