Up to now, my experience with social networking has primarily been with Yahoo and Google groups, which I’m not sure qualifies. I can say that, although the traffic on these groups is small, it has been a relief to find like-minding 12-step folks practicing Buddhism in the world. There’s just not that much of that in my area of the country. These groups provide a great complement to my regular in-person meetings. Plus, they also afford me an even more anonymous platform from which I can express myself in ways I might be uncomfortable doing in an in-person group meeting.

With Twitter, I think it would be interesting to introduce a topic related to recovery, like surrender or gratitude or whatever, and people can Tweet about what they’re perceiving at that moment as it relates to that topic. I’m picturing the guided meditation about the rock from the first podcast, with recovery concepts.

It’s a great way to celebrate a clean/sober day milestone with a whole bunch of people at once, also, which seems to be so inspiring to the whole group!
