old days "pl Sw Engelsa 5"

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

I might be interested once I make it back to Poland.

Here are the details of the new meeting:

WROCLAW SATURDAY 11.00
INSIDE JOB - ENGLISH SPEAKING GROUP

Big Book Study

Stowarzysznie MOST, Komuny Paryskiej 17, lok. 1, Wrocław

Contact: 48 (0)691.534.602,
E-mail: insidejob_aa@yahoo

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, man.

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... :)

ever tried weed? i know an ex drunk who turned to his sweet-tooth and weed to curb his alcohol abstinens...

That's not working a program!

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 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 :)

*****CHANGE OF MEETING PLACE IN WROC£AW:

We are now meeting at:
pl Świętego Macieja 5, Wrocław
Saturdays at 11am

We also have a Wednesday meeting but it is not regular, so call in advance.

Useful to know, I didn't know there was one. I should think being in a new city and country away from home, alcohol can become an escape and then can become a problem. It's impressive to discover that there's a support group in Wrocław for it.

(if you have a paper map, it may be indexed as plac sw.Macieja)

My old map suggests the 144 bus goes there, and trams 7, 21, 31, 40. Nearby are buses C (Express, not standard ticket) and the 128.

Not to be confused with: starter24.pl/index.html :o)

Love to hear about it,tryin to find out meself,recovering Dutchman
