I really miss this message board as it was part of my daily routine. It didn't disappear--I don't understand why or why not, but it's still here. Is there any interest in reviving it from some of our former members?? I've looked online several times and recently emailed WSO to find a new message board. I can only find reddit which is OK but has many people who are not serious about recovery. Anybody here miss it as I do? Love to hear from you. And by the way, what would Betty do???
Yes, definitely interested. Though it wasnt a daily routine, This was where I began in Alanon and where I came to regain my serenity when I felt it slipping away. I wish I knew more about technology to help.
Well one reply is certainly better than none, and perhaps we could get it going. And it wouldn't have to be a daily routine. What I was thinking of is that right now two of us are interested. So what if you post a share once a week, and I'll post a share once a week. If possible, let's try to write a response to each other, here on the board. Same rules as always apply.
Good Day All. I miss this board too. I assumed it was gone and came to read old posts in an effort to save my sanity. It would be a privilege to participate and will seek tools/time to actively post leads. I pray you both continue to be healthy .
Daffodils, love to have you onboard. If we each just post once a week, a share, a thought, a daily, and possibly can respond to each other, then we have re-started. Look forward to hearing from you and sunmustshine. :)
(((Daffodils))) I am so happy to read your post. I imagine many check back in their moments of need. I know thats how I figured out MIP was still up. This is truly a joyous moment to see we can still come together in support. I hope everyone reading this suffering from someones use of alcohol finds hope and support here and posts. The community I felt on MIP and feel now with this new budding group is filled with light.
Yes here we are again. This community was my beginning of recovery. Betty convinced me to go to a F2F meeting. I was never going to go to a meeting nor have a sponsor. I tried both without any regrets. And I would come to this board daily and read and sometimes write. I'm grateful a few of us are trying again. Thank you, ODAT. :)
I miss it too, but it seems the admins have all either passed away or have just left. The admins would never have allowed all those silly ad posts. They deleted one of mine once because I said God too many times. That was a few posts ago. I guess we could just keep posting, try to wake up some of the admins and hope for the best.

Hi Wolfie, that's what I've been trying. It seems the advertisements grow rapidly and I can understand folks don't want to say personal things. I'm very sad, and miss MIP. It was such an amazing recovery place.....
I don't come here as often as I would like but I'm still connected. I'm in both AA and Alanon as is my wife Nancy. My current Alanon Home Group is online on Zoom and my AA home group is in person. I also host a few AA meetings a week on Zoom and I get to a lot of in-person meetings. I do my share of service, with Alanon it's just at the group level, but in the other fellowship, it's group level, district level and area level. Well, I started my journey in AA and then I got the idea that Alanon might be a good place to find a woman that knew how to take care of an alcoholic [that's a joke]. I knew right from my first meeting that I belonged here too and so I started attending alanon. After about a year, I did meet that woman and this New Year's Eve we will celebrate 25 years of marriage. She celebrates 27 years sobriety tomorrow night so naturally I baked cookies and made a cheesecake. I think I might be the speaker too. If anyone ever wants the info on the alanon group I attend online, just message me. It meets at 1 pm Halifax time on Saturday afternoons.
I just glanced at my profile pic. It's not accurate. I play Santa every year and in September I start growing a beard. I go through three stages. First, I look like Captain Highliner (ever been to sea Billy?), then I look like a tall Papa Smurf, and by December I start looking like Santa. I might change it.
