We are SO excited &amp;amp; a good friend of ours (solo) is coming with us. I am a 'sober sister." My last drink was July 30, 1974 probably before a lot of you were born. Last year, I had not planned to go to "Turn it Over" meetings but my SO and I had a tiff early in the trip and boy, did I need that meeting! After that, I went every day at 5 PM because it was so great. It's wonderful to exchange stateroom phone numbers and just to say "hello" or meet for coffee. The early meeting is way too early for me. We get up just in time to call for breakfast room service. LOL Looking forward to meeting you. BTW: the meetings are posted on the daily list of events which is placed in your room the night before.</description></item><item><title>Re: Looking for sober sisters</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/190850.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 13 Oct 2012 01:18:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:190850</guid><dc:creator>PEACE-OUT</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/190850.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=165831&amp;PostID=190850</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;This will certainly be a trip to remember.....(Taking a trip, not taking a trip) lol&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Look forward to meeting you all at the meetings....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Candy&amp;nbsp; 10/12/81 &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Looking for sober sisters</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/190655.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Oct 2012 03:15:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:190655</guid><dc:creator>Shay</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/190655.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=165831&amp;PostID=190655</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Ladies,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am on the first 40th and this is my 12th Olivia Cruise, every one of the cruises I have been on had meetings. On big ships like this there are plenty of us sober women. They provide space for all 12 steppers, so lots of opportunity to meet friends. I have also seen them provide alcohol free seating at dinners but not for a while. I think people just set it up themselves now. I actually just did Paris and sat with non-drinkers who were not even in recovery. Go figure, there are even some of those, lol&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I will be at the meetings,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Shay L&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6-5-90&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Looking for sober sisters</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/189505.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 02 Sep 2012 14:02:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:189505</guid><dc:creator>Doinokjft</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/189505.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=165831&amp;PostID=189505</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Sherriroff,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are interested in sitting together at dinner.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Looking for sober sisters</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/188446.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 12 Aug 2012 21:24:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:188446</guid><dc:creator>flamingogrl</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/188446.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=165831&amp;PostID=188446</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Yay! thank you I feel safer knowing there will b meetings aboard.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
