Okay so... I know there's a group for vets. Or, just support for trauma but is there something around here for addicts? Support system wise?

It's... Honestly, it's never really been my thing. I had a different system at home. I had Tony and Jess friends that helped. But with what's likely to unravel, and what already has, the ease of access might be a problem for me.

You can keep it private, or come see me, 709. Carol Danvers.

I think there used to be.

Well, the past tense is a little deflating, but at least there were bones of it.

Oh, yeah. I'm sure that is exactly what happened.

That people may fuck off tomorrow pushes the one day at a time thing.

But there's tons of space on this boat, if that's your deal, just stake a room.

Yeah, and it's sometimes a bit of a tipping point.

It looks like that's how it's going to go, and work out some viable timings for people.

Sherlock and I would go to NA meetings in Tumbleweed. It'd be nice to have something like that here.

If I remember correctly, it's important to keep a routine with that. Falling out of it for however long we're sailing... It's probably not good.

Yeah, he got me into it and kept me going. Now that I'm not going, it feels weird.

Yeah, losing what's become something normal it's not great. You think it'd help? Having it here?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]methlab4cutie
2018-01-29 07:10 pm UTC (link)
I think so. If you're willing to put it together, I'd go.

Hey Jesse. So yeah, I'm Carol, duh. But yeah, here if you have questions, want to talk, whatever.

Carol, gotcha.

Same for you, I'm a good listener.

There's been stuff before. I don't know if anyone started something up here.

'Cause, yeah, the ease of access thing sucks.

It'd be easier in Tumbleweed I'm sure, but it's still important here.

Right? It's starting to get to me.

[info]thevenomchoseme

I mean, easier in just you don't gotta worry 'bout one of us setting it up. Some of the other worlds, we had it going too, but that can be a lot to put on a person too.

It was annoying as fuck before, but now it's getting to me. At least because in Texas I'd have to put some effort into getting some booze. The age limit here just messed that right up. Plus

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]callmemarvel
2018-01-29 06:55 pm UTC (link)
Yeah, it's likely that something would've already been in place. Groups tend to pop up in most places.

Right. You'd need to go out, find something, make that choice. But here, there are bars everywhere. Obviously not really, but still. I could do without that some days.

[info]thevenomchoseme
2018-01-29 07:03 pm UTC (link)
Maybe we can at least set up a meeting time and shit. Get a room like the Vets' got or even just pick someone's living room. Or not... that'd get awkward fast if the person hosting ain't feeling good and y'just got a bunch of people hoverin' round waiting to be let in.

Totally bro. Add in a fake ID for me too back in Tumbleweed.

I'm Flash, by the way. I can't remember if we said hello before or not.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]callmemarvel
2018-01-29 07:30 pm UTC (link)
Yeah, I think that'd work. Maybe one of the public areas on the ship though, to avoid that whole crashing on a person. It'll be worth looking into.

It's helpful to have that, sure. But not so much for avoiding the drink.

Hi Flash. I'm Carol, obviously.

[info]thevenomchoseme
2018-01-31 07:53 pm UTC (link)
Yeah and it ain't like they got a million and one rooms here to use.

Nice to meet you. And if like the group thing doesn't get going, I don't know how good at help I can be, but if you need someone to suggest some other stupid thing to do instead of the whole drinking thing, I can definitely help with that.

Or that they're small. Even if we can't get an empty suite, the number of large spaces is ridiculous.

I'm always up for stupid things, distractions are good, too much time on my hands leads to trouble.

You looking to start a group? Or just a friend to say "Carol, no"?

(Reply to this) (Thread)


[info]callmemarvel
2018-01-29 02:08 pm UTC (link)
Maybe a little of both if we're being honest.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]arrowoutlaw
2018-01-29 07:32 pm UTC (link)
Well, for starters, I'm Roy Harper and now that we know each others' names, guess that makes us friends. So... Carol, no.

However, Carol, yes, I'll support you in starting a group. Looks like a lot of folks need it.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]callmemarvel
2018-01-29 07:41 pm UTC (link)
Names usually signify the start of a friendship, it's true. So thank you Roy, that's very helpful.

I'm seeing that, yes. I'm kinda glad I'm not in that certain boat alone.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]arrowoutlaw
2018-01-29 08:10 pm UTC (link)
Glad to lend a helping hand.

I'll agree, it is comforting to know there are others. Usually I am crap at talking about this stuff but I know a guy that'd kick my ass if I didn't.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]callmemarvel
2018-01-29 09:41 pm UTC (link)
I'm not too good at it myself. I have friends at home who help things, but neither are here. I think something where we all know how to sort of deal with each other's battles could be helpful for us.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]arrowoutlaw
2018-01-30 07:45 am UTC (link)
Definitely. After all, we don't know where this ship is headed and the next port might make some tempting offers.

Personally, that's one of the hardest parts. The saying no. But, like you said, if we know each others' battles then maybe we can say no together. Stronger in numbers and all that.

[info]callmemarvel
2018-01-30 11:30 am UTC (link)
It's entirely possible. Or further stressful situations. Who knows.

Yeah, that's the goal, right? I mean, I never did the structured support group thing, but I'm guessing that it's the point of them, supporting each other like that.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]arrowoutlaw
2018-01-30 01:35 pm UTC (link)
Exactly. Who knows.

I've done it a few times. Haven't really made a routine of it, as such. But yeah, that's the general idea of them.

[info]callmemarvel
2018-01-30 09:41 pm UTC (link)
From what I've heard, the last time people moved from Tumbleweed, it wasn't all ice cream and sunshine either.

Well then, we can probably navigate this just by what works, you need a friend to tell you no, you know where I am.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]arrowoutlaw
2018-01-31 08:10 am UTC (link)
Okay, that sounds ominous.

Ditto, Carol. I'm in 805. I have my daughter with me but if you need to talk without her around, I know some people on board that are happy to take her for a while.

[info]callmemarvel

Right? Not looking forward to it. Least of all after Atlantis.

Oh, don't worry about it. How old is she? She make it through that nightmare of a day okay?

Well, vacations were never really my thing anyway.

Lian's 3 and had a great time. She got to hang out with Princesses all day and play doctor. Nothing much fazes her.

[info]callmemarvel

I'm bad at them. I mean, I'd like to take more, but I end up working.

That's a great age. I'm glad she wasn't badly affected by it, keeping herself busy.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]arrowoutlaw
2018-02-02 08:23 am UTC (link)
Yeah, I get bored. And you know what they say about idle minds.

She has a better social life than me.

I would be interested in as much. The routine is important to maintain.

(Reply to this) (Thread)


[info]callmemarvel
2018-01-29 02:10 pm UTC (link)
Yeah, I thought it might be. It doesn't seem like there is anything in place, but there could be a need for it.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]postlove
2018-01-29 02:11 pm UTC (link)
There is indisputably a need for it, yes.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]callmemarvel
2018-01-29 02:14 pm UTC (link)
So, I'm surprisingly not great at organising things (unless the world is ending), but Jesse mentioned you we involved in something in Tumbleweed? So... input on setting it up is readily welcome.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]postlove
2018-01-30 02:10 pm UTC (link)
We were, yes. It was an already-established group, sparsely populated by local faces.

I will see what I can do.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]callmemarvel
2018-01-30 09:49 pm UTC (link)
Well, the main issue is probably going to be working out availability. I can't see finding a place being that difficult here, but making sure there's a time everyone can work around might be the issue.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]postlove
2018-01-31 03:37 pm UTC (link)
Perhaps, though given our overall lack of proper work, perhaps it won't be so difficult.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]callmemarvel

This is true. Try not overlap with any of the interesting activities on the ship. Like the karaoke night.
