Thanks so much everyone who has posted to this thread so far. I met w/ a couple and we are beginning an informal group. We have a lot in common and I look forward to the group expanding. I'll keep you posted as things progress. I think peer support is really really vital to recovery. So many of us get stuck in our illness and we feel broken instead of feeling empowered to self-advocate and heal.

Ps. we met at a frozen yogurt shop and it seems like a good location. not too much traffic and noise, and we don't have to worry about rent.
