Mondays at 8:00 PM–9:00 PM EST
Moderator/Facilitator: Kenny Pomerance
About the Meeting: “Illness in Recovery”
“Illness in Recovery” is a meeting dedicated to ITR members supporting one another within their recovery community. Many members deal with chronic diseases which don’t come up in online 12 Step meetings. No one wants to burden friends and family, but feelings about illness are still important enough to share … especially with people who are going through similar issues. This meeting won’t be a gripe session or a medical show. Instead, moderator Kenny Pomerance hopes to make it into a place where members help one another find solutions and acceptance.

Dear Ken.
Thank you for sharing your story, I also want to wish you good luck with the new 12 step Program, I am so lucky that I stayed healthy and will celebrate 41 years of sobriety coming April the 11th.

Is this meeting virtual? Might you know of any others? I I’m in aa and aca, but feel uncomfortable talking about chronic lyme disease.
