I never met anyone either, until I went to the AAMDS conference - what an amazing experience! You should definitely try to attend one, or at the very least, a one-day local event - very worthwhile.
Keep well,

Hi Gloria,
Thanks for the information on AAMDS conferences. I'll have to look one up and see if I can go. I guess we are a rare bunch. I've only half joked with my doctors and said that we could hold an AA convention in Atlanta under a bus stop shelter! I've been to a Healing Journeys workshop and it was incredible but didn't see anyone else with AA.
Re the people who oblige us by getting sick-- In my youth (many, many years ago) we used to play a terrible trick on the last person to report for work. We would all independently tell him/her that they looked a little ill, and asked how they felt. Usually they checked out sick by noon! Lets you know how important it is for our docs and support teams to be positive, doesn't it?
Keep smiling,
