Icebreakers time!

rav3nSenior Contributor

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!

Hi!! I’m going to say 19 but I actually don’t know why, maybe because I like all things magical and it was the one that stood out to me ☺️

Re: Icebreakers time!

@rav3n you and the mods are awesome, I live this!

Right now I relate to Froggy #2 - I am snug and warm in a new jumper I bought.

I used to have a friend in my 20s who nicknamed me Froggy, can't remember why but this has brought back lovely memories 🫂❤️

Re: Icebreakers time!

hey! it's lovely to meet you! @pansexualpirate magical vibes are cool ✨

@ENKELI omg that's funny cos i had a friend that we nicknamed 'frog' 😆 i believe the reason was because their name in another language meant 'frog', the nickname didn't stick for long though.

Re: Icebreakers time!

hey @Fadednfried223, i assumed the term ‘icebreakers’ was commonly known as it’s often used in workshop/meeting contexts (as a form of activity that helps members feel more comfy with each other, or even as team building exercises to strengthen connections/bonds).

i really do appreciate you sharing your care and concern, definitely something I’ll keep in mind for next time. thank you 💙

Re: Icebreakers time!

@rav3n That’s awesome you got rest over the weekend. It helps so much doesn’t it. Improves mental and physical health.

At the moment I am finding everyday really difficult with physical and mental aspects preventing me from even looking after myself. I am overwhelmed and in a constant panic and dread. I really don’t know what to do anymore. I’m scared and afraid and despite a lot of effort don’t have the right support.

I would like to contribute something if that’s possible. Not sure exactly what maybe a short piece on my lived experience or something like that?
