To All who came to DD chat Thursday night,
I am truly sorry for the chat becoming disruptive, hopefully you guys will give me a 2nd chance at this. Being new as a chat leader isn't an excuse, it's factual but it still isn't an excuse. For everyone that was effected I am truly sorry  . I hope EVERYONE feels better and I hope you guys will give me another chance. I just ask that as I will that you all check out the chat rules. Let's support each other versus arguing, it isn't worth the mess it causes inside when people are upset.  group hugThanks for your time, ThaCrew

Crew…
you rock! No apologies necessary. Your willingness to facilitate a DD chat group is to be commended. In a live group, the leader has much more control and the ability to redirect inappropriate behaviours. An online group, by virtue of invisibility, is much more difficult to manage. It is my opinion that you are an excellent leader and you did a very good job at getting the group calmed, reassured and back on topic. Those present in the room who assisted in preventing escalation of the situation are to be commended. you're a leader! You do not need to ask for a second chance; you do need to ask those attending to respect one another, take personal conflicts elsewhere and follow the rules of good group conduct. carpe diem! I, for one, look forward to your next DD chat group and will be there to support you, as well as my fellow chatters. Let’s not let the distractions of Thursday’s group dissuade us from sharing with one another and, in so doing, moving forward in our recovery. you're appreciated! Sending warm island vibes your way… because i care! RR

I understand what you are feeling. I had one DD chat where it seemed like there was one interruption or distraction or inappropriate behaviour after the other. I was reassured that it happens. I was reminded of my boot button and my position of LEADER gave me the right to use that and to warn and to make sure my chat was a safe place.
SOOOO-------I tip my hat to you for handling things--even tho I was only there for a little bit-----remind you that you are the leader and what you say goes. I also offer my support at the next Thurs Chat. Please let me know how you would like me to support you there. |

l too agree withthe others that you have nothing to apologise for as all you did was great. You on numerous occassions tried to distract and prevent any further escalation. I am sorry that not all who ere there had respect for you and others who were there to seek support with their DD issues. I take my hat off to you for even attempting to run a chat as it must be extremly hard. Please dont feel responsible in any way your chat is good, informative and you have a wonderful caring nature that makes us all feel safe. what l would like to say to you all who were there when l got very triggered by the whole event and left is that l am sorry for saying everyone to shut up and then leaving but l was at the time not in a ggod place either and watching and hearing the battle unfold was not good and maybe in hindsight l should have left before. so to you and others there. im SORRY ((((((((((((((((((((((((( everyone ))))))))))) hope everyone is safe and calmer and look forward to seeing you all again next week if im still welcome Mandy and all

I wasn't there but what ever happened wasn't your fault. You are nice enough to do a DD chat in the first place and should have nothing to feel sorry for. I appreciate everything anyone here does for the good of all of us. Thank you.

im gonna say somethin that should b said...thacrew rocks! weve known thacrew for quite a while an have known nothin but strength an integrity of character...yall need ta read ALLA the rules regardin chat, cuz arguin an fightin an causin bad feelins isnt what chat is about...its about helpin an surroundin others with care an concern an lettin people talk one at a time about their need...or whatever the chat is for the night...chat leaders get burned out quick when we act like everyone is out ta get us, get inta fights an cause a stink just cuz they r bein triggerd...if u r bein triggered...it is UR business ta get right an iffn u hafta, get outa the room, go ta support an wait for someone ta come an help u...fightin an causin the leader ta feel guilty just aint acceptable...not from ANY of us...me included...an if u cant control urself we r gonna lose the leaders we got an then wont have a DD chat at all...so its up ta alla us ta make sure we r in control of ourselves when we enter chat...period...end of sentence...no arguin about it...thacrew is good nuf ta b a chat leader an we make them feel guilty for how it went...how pathetic r we for makin them feel that way?????????????
