You came to the wrong country to try and recover! Almost everyone drinks here! If you need anyone to talk to in English about your problems I am willing to listen. Let me know!

Hi Terry,

Are you still in Wrocek? I tried to send a message to your number above but no joy.

There is the beginning of a small group in the city, needs someone like yourself though :)

I'm on 691534602

Was this meeting going 2 years ago? It would have been nice to hit a meeting when I was doing my CELTA.

No, we just started a few weeks ago :)

There was a meeting here a few years ago but it hasn't been running for a long time, or so we have been told.

Bummer indeed that the other meeting stopped. But there is now a new one, as I posted above, so all is not lost. Anyone wants to come along is more than welcome... :)

There are plenty of ways to get sober without AA but personally I don't know too many people who have been successful substituting one addiction for another. In fact, I don't know any. But I do know plenty of people who ended up as both alcoholics and addicts...

Are you coming back to Wroclaw 'lowfunk'? If so, the meeting here is getting pretty stable now. It's a nice atmosphere and a healthy meeting. However, we cannot get our hands on any English AA literature; so if you are coming from abroad and intend to meet up with us, we'd be really grateful for a book or two! ;)

Unless someone offers me a job I will not be coming back. It has gotten to difficult for schools to hire non-EU.

Like we say in NA, alcohol is a drug. :-)

well, you know, if you contact us on insidejob_aa@yahoo.com there is a non-EU guy in our group who may have a few ideas and some others with language school contacts... if you want to chat about it any time, maybe on our e-mail is a good place as I don't want to throw this thread off topic :)
