Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 , Check your local newspaper. In the want ads they normally have a section on " Meetings " That is where I found the one here in town. i know that this sounds bad but they are in the same section as where they announce the AA meetings.

I know that this sounds bad but they are in the same section as where they announce the AA meetings. Our paper on the first Sunday of the month runs a page of things happening in the month ahead. Also they run a little later a list of support groups. Check and see if your paper has something like this. Take care, Irene Books may well be the only true magic Alice Hoffman.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Bruce, I envy your connection with support groups in person. I have not been able to find any lung support group in the Cincinnati area. I moved here from IL in May 07 and have only met a few neighbors at HOA meetings. My HOA has social gathers but I have not attended since I am immune suppressed and going to a party in a house where people people are attending is too risky for me especial during the holidays when cold and flu germs are at such high levels.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Judy There are none in the DFW area either. I'm driving 4 1/2 hours to go to this one at least this once. So, 9 hours of driving for 1 1/2 hours of meeting.....sounds silly but I look forward to it. I've also found just meeting memeber to be very nice. I don't know who is close to you but I'm sure someone that you could meet halfway for lunch. So far I've met Leanne in Chicago, several in Snyder TX at a fund raiser, many more at the San gathering, MB in Durham, and three here locally. Everyone of those experiences has been very nice. The nearest support group I know to you is in fort, KY which is about an hour and a half away. I share your concern about larger groups. I will gather with small groups of people who I know understand my condition and wouldn't expose me. However, large groups this time of year, you just know someone will be sick. > > Bruce, I envy your connection with support groups in person.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Bruce, Thank you for the info. I will certainly check out the fort, KY group when the weather gets warmer. This monring it was -6 here with windchills -20. So I am staying inside and warm. Judy (Ohio) IPF 11/06 TX 8/07 > > > > Bruce, I envy your connection with support groups in person.
