Icebreakers time!

Icebreakers time!

Welcome forumites!!

If you’ve attended groups (through either Guided Recovery or RecoveryClub), then you’ll be familiar with all the fun lil icebreakers that the amazing facilitators come up with! 🧊

With our forums community growing each day, we thought it’d be a nice way to get to know each other and connect here too!

The mods will take turns posting a new icebreaker question each week!!

The first icebreaker question is... *insert drumroll*

Which frog do you relate to most at the moment and why? 🐸
*or if there's another frog that's not in the image, feel free to share or describe it!

Re: Icebreakers time!

Oh that is a fun question @0ddsidian whilst also being a very evil question! 🤣🤣

I agree with your point about ice cream plus savour things. And ice cream is my favourite food, so I will have to prioritise what is OK on ice cream lol.

Maple syrup is a great idea, because it could mostly innocuously blend in as just abit sweet the other meals - like sugar syrup would.

I could possible do a peanut sauce too, but there are a few dishes that might be a bit weird with peanut flavour...

However for the sake of not taking your idea, I will select homemade peanut butter sauce 😛

So my answer is... Maple Syrup!


Honestly.... this is genius!! I sat here trying to come up with something better and the only reason I think honey would actually be my choice (even tho I LOVE maple syrup) is cos of the health benefits 😋

See, my logic is that sweet things can and do go with savoury - maple bacon pancakes, or maple in BBQ sauce, or like a dash in a stir fry even - would be so doable!! But I could NOT stomach some savoury sauce ruining every single dessert for the rest of my life. I just couldn't 😂

@AlwaysMyself okay now you've thrown me because peanuts ALSO go with both sweet and savoury!! HMMMMM 🤔

I think you are spot on with this one 🤣

I didn't get a notification or an email for the tag...


@avant-garde me neither, almost missed out on the sauce discourse!

Also, yes would totally wanna continue chatting about all things AuDHD - I wonder if we ought to start an AuDHD+ND masterthread.... not sure how easy to find the ADHD and Autism ones are, and might be better to combine em eh? 🤔

I also have to contend with the eating-for-stimulation conundrum. It's not a fun tale so I'll refrain but if anyone wants deets tag me in one of the above threads. Re-lensing and realising and learning all the ways our ND impacts us seems to be one of those ongoing experiences hey!!

Re: Icebreakers time!

I think most of my icebreaker questions could be considered both fun and evil, @AlwaysMyself 🤣

I think I stole the maple syrup idea from a participant in a group anyway, so it would only be fair for you to do the same. I think honey is also a good answer.

I think you're right about a peanut sauce of some kind. I think that would go great with both ice-cream and most savoury foods!

Re: Icebreakers time!

It's that time of the week again forum friends! 🥳

And this week, we're focusing on an icebreaker that's one of my absolute favourites and often explored in our recovery groups: If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why? 🦹🪄

Mine would be the ability to click my fingers and be anywhere I need to be in an instant because the executive functioning doesn't always, erm, function. 😂 So this would be a very helpful power to have!

Which one would you choose? 👀 (Here's a list to get you thinking!)

Re: Icebreakers time!

I also love this particular icebreaker @AuntGlow. I generally pick teleportation as well, for the same reasons as you. But I think @Aegis said once that it would also be good for travelling and going on holidays, which says a lot about my brain that this wasn't my first thought when it came to teleportation haha

In response to: Re: Icebreakers time!

Re: Icebreakers time!

teleportation is my go-to answer as well haha. would love to escape to a new environment whenever i wanted. plus, like @0ddsidian @Aegis mentioned, i'd love to have free holiday that skips airport check-ins, taxi fees, crowded public transports, etc.

my other favs are invisibility and healing abilities!

Re: Icebreakers time!

Great topic @rav3n @0ddsidian @AuntGlow

I would choose the Healing Factor

To heal myself and all my forum friends 💗

To heal people with Dementia and all the horrible diseases out there.

In response to: Re: Icebreakers time!

Re: Icebreakers time!

I’m thinking I would choose invisible @rav3n @0ddsidian @AuntGlow. I already feel invisible being actually invisible would be good. Can go anywhere, be anywhere.

Time And Relative Dimension In Space

The power of a TARDIS

My first thought of what I'd do with that power is to see my Grandmother as a little girl.

Second thought brings out the librarian in me and I would document history, going back to different times in order to allow accurate recordings of significant events.

I wouldn't interfere like the doctor does, but I'd like to help humanity get things right in terms of accuracy.

And lets be honest, I would like to see unseen nebulas and wonder about the stars.

My photos would be better than any telescope.

I wouldn't change my history because I like who I am as a result, but I would gather evidence to put my dad behind bars and bring down the whole circuit of monsters from my childhood.

It would allow me to be free and not having to look back over my shoulder at every turn to gauge my safety levels. I would like that.
