Anyone who has left 12 step groups or wanting to socialize with more forward thinking people around recovery from Addiction or Alcohol abuse. Anyone who was hurt or damaged in Alcoholics ANonymous or Narcotics Anonymous or DA, BDA, OA. I also want to be supportive of anyone who is using Moderation or Harm Reduction to feel welcome. This is not an abstinence based idea. ALthough it's not a drinking group LOL

This group is for anyone who has a drinking/drug problem; and does not concede to being powerless, unmanageable, or doomed to "never really recover". The Truth will not be upended by falsehood; unmanageabilty, is an excuse for a lack of morals, leading to bad decision making; due to a rebellion towards things as they REALLY are. One can find renewal, IN THE ELIMINATION OF FALSE PRECEPTS HELD, BY THE INTRODUCTION OF THE TRUTH. AND TRUE REDEMPTION FROM THE PAST. NOT A BROAD SCALE RATIONALIZATION O …

It's time to get to the beach and party! I decided to start this group because I've always been envious of the larger groups of people hanging out together at the beach on weekends. Know people all over Los Angeles, managing "friends" has always been annoying so I figured MeetUp is the way to go! The purpose of the group is to play backyard/beach games like KanJam, Beach Volleyball, Frisbee, etc, or just socialize and get a tan. Feel free to bring food and drinks! Our group will meet on the …

I started this meetup over a year ago and haven't looked back since. I'm in my late 30's (gulp), and am SO not into the bar/club scene or crazy meetups with tons of people. I love board games (U.S.) and pop-culture trivia so I thought I'd start my own meetup group and host regular smaller-scaled game nights in my home. The smaller groups definitely make it easier and more fun in getting to know each other better. We get together once a month or so, play games ranging from DVD Trivia/Pop Culture …
