Absolutely Donna!

I think you’re so right, having a separate board for each is the best. It is essential that we focus on the issues we face in abs & moderation respectively, and I LOVE having the two boards to do that on.

For moderators who want to do a period of abs, I would get the advice of other moderators as to which board is best for you, since I have never moderated myself. Hmmm...I don’t know…if a period of abs is an important part of successful moderating, is it better to use the mods board or the abs board for that period? Maybe both? Maybe it will be different for each person in terms of the different kinds of support they find in each place.

Either way I encourage everyone to read both, and will continue to do so myself.

I DECLARE that successful moderation can never be done without a smattering of ABS. Or else it's not moderation.
Can anyone tell that my definition of moderation is a smidge blurry at the moment?? Posting on both boards?? Saying I'm moderating but abstaining from alcohol this wk?ol It's all good! I'm on track to keep on moving towards my goals. That's what's important. Devising the plan as it becomes clear what I need. I LOVE this program!

Andrea, the abs and mod sections are the summer spruce up events and may moderation events that can be found on the main board, under "just starting out, meet others who understand"

Count me in for the month of June too! Can we have some fun with this long stretch, like a group hug on the chat board?

Aloha!

I just want to remind you all that June first is this Thursday. So get your surfboards waxed up and catch this wave!

Miss Layla, we'll be counting on you to organize that group hug. Great idea!

How kind of you to give me an job to do. It makes me feel important!
I'll do my best to organize a chat group hug. Hummm....like at the half way mark, when we could really use the support.
I am looking forward to the journey thru June.
Miss Layla
