Support It

I Googled ‘event
calendar’ yesterday for the town I live in thinking I would find a multitude of
things available to get me off my fat butt during the week. It seems there are
a whole lot of support groups in my area—most of them for addiction to alcohol
or narcotics. While I do not have an addiction to either of those things, the narcotics
anonymous groups have titles that make me think the group is a ball of fun.
Who wouldn't want to participate in a group titled KiSSS? It almost sounds like speed dating
(speed as in: n.
rapidity in moving, going, traveling, proceeding, or performing; swiftness; celerity: the speed of light; the speed of sound. NOT Amphetamine
or methamphetamine)
Other real NA
group titles in my area are Addicts R Us (yes, just like Toys R Us, but not nearly as fun)
and Monday Madness (this sounds like an amazing Labor Day sale).
I have many of my own ideas for support groups. There are so many things I need support with. I will throw a few out there and take a survey of who might want to join what.
Mis-Fortune: This could be support for those with actual missed fortunes (they miss all the money they used to have before they trusted Bernie Madoff) or even a support group for accident-prone individuals. This group should not be confused with the beauty contestant information session being held across the hall.
Un-Fare: A support group for over-eaters or individuals who never tip their servers.
It's Gut to Stop: A support group for people who over-internalize
all their problems (which may lead to IBS, ulcers and anger-management issues- all
of which would have a separate support group).
Visa- Vis: Support group for over-spenders. Helping individuals change their lives, by reversing the charges (so to speak). This is not a get-out-of-debt gimmick, and leaders will not contact your creditors for you.
*My Breastfriend: I am always looking for a little more support for my gigantic breasts. Not sure how this would go down- an entire hour of someone in the group holding your breasts up to give your back a rest, or more of a discussion group on the best bras and plastic surgeons?
*Disclaimer: This name is stolen from a maternity product made to assist with breastfeeding.
