    boston support mtgs?

    hi, i'm new to the site. was banded in boston at b&W on 12/13/07. the brigham offers a support group on the second tuesday of each month. so far i have been unable to make either. having only one option per month is difficult - if the date doesn't work, you wait another month, if it doesn't work again you wait two, and so on. i got straight in 12 step groups many years ago, and while i don't go to meetings anymore, i did like the person to person contact/support. i'm 53 and maybe too old to have jumped on the this kind of format. are there any people out there in boston area who would like to set up an independent support group (not 12-step, we could create our own)? i would be willing to work with some people to find a small hall (churches, hospital, etc.) we could rent for a weekly or rotating meeting. and then we could come up with a loose format, and what goes and doesn't, being pretty flexible. i am asking for two reasons: 1.) i'm not good at the chat format, and 2.) much to my chagrin, the behavioral part of recovery has been very difficult without support. i've recently started eating ice cream after my second fill and clearly that'sa not a good development, and i'm eating takeout again, not as much volume 'cause i can't but bad food nonetheless. if this rings a bell with anyone, please respond, and let's support each other to make this thing work. maybe something like this exists in boston that i'm not aware of. if it does i'd like to know. will appreciate any help/feedback. thanks, dannyfitz
