Sunday Coffee and Chat -- 23rd November 2025

How often do the CHIME meetings happen @Meredyth49 ? It sounds different to the recovery group I'm doing. We meet once a fortnight on zoom. 💛

Hi @heartathome.

I've just finished my huge coffee ☕

Have about 200 hours of selected YouTube to decide from & going to play my mobile games today.

Rethinking laundry now, as it's gone overcast again. 31 degrees Celsius but rain predicted soon. It's going like this until Tuesday apparently.

My focus is shot for the moment, so I generally jump about from one thing to another. I've started making lists though to remember. Then I forget to remember. Mind blank. Then re-remember 2 months later. :face_with_rolling_eyes: Such is my life currently.

@heartathome Hi there,

Thanks so much for the lovely message. Breakfast came about because it’s probably the one thing I miss most regularly hahaha.

I’m in Melbourne 57 and enjoy working and travelling.

Love the same era of music you advised.

Cheers

@REDLINEZ750 I might need to start having my coffee black again.

That's a good strategy!

Yes @REDLINEZ750 , the flu is finally going a bit at a time

How did you find out about this @REDLINEZ750 ? I'm confused! I'll bring it up next time I'm on a SANE meeting. I don't think I'll be able to make Thursday's group this week because of the farewell. 😐 💛

@heartathome @REDLINEZ750 @Shaz51

To my understanding, there's 2 groups.

They need to do an intake for you to attend.

There's the kind you have just described, & there's the other which I do that is a 6 month program, but has no one-to-one peer support. Can attend as many or few as you want, depending on your personal schedule.

I just usually go to all of them, as it's my only social outlet source due to my personal circumstances, etc.

No-one's ever told me I can't do that.

I've never had any one-to-one personal peer support counselling though, so maybe that's why?

It is a good routine for me, as there's not much else I can currently do as my health issues can be very debilitating for me a lot of the time.

C - Connection.

H - Hope (& optimism).
I - Identity.

M - Meaning.

E - Empowerment.

It's almost time for me to transition away from Recovery Club, as the 6 months is almost up, so that's why I want to become more active here on the forums instead, to continue getting some more long-term supports.

@Breakfast68 I don't usually eat much of a day, but nighttime is another story! 😋 I know! I've got it the wrong way around but anyway... Do you like living in Melbourne?

@heartathome

Yeah I do enjoy Melbourne. Lovely food and lots to do at night with concerts, live music

and lots on the surrounding areas.
Do you get to Melbourne at all?

That will be lovely to see you more active on the forum @Meredyth49

Tag me anytime and anywhere 😊
