    IRL Peer Support Group

    So yesterday I went to a peer support group for the second time. I really enjoyed it. We did topics again. So everyone wrote a topic down and put it in a basket and then we talked about them. It is like SF except IRL. So if anyone is considering going to one go give it a try.
