Do you have the latest Meeting App?
Version 5 is out now and you can set it to, for instance, online meetings that are “secular.”
Under filter, choose communities and scroll down. If you want the app to only show secular choices, it will, set in your time zone. The same is true for other communities and/or meeting types as well.

If you’re not sure what version you have, here is what I did: delete the app, go to the App Store (Apple or Android) and download the Meeting App, again. Go to settings and set yourself up. This works for in-person meetings too, but the geography is limited. If “Secular “ isn’t an option in your community list, maybe there isn’t one near you. A sign to start one? That’s up to you:-)

‘After demanding his medical records, Jim discovers that like many intersex people, a gender presentation, carried out through invasive operations, was constructed for him in childhood.

It is common practice for intersex children to never be told the truth of what happened to them.

We follow the aftermath of these invasive interventions, supported by fraudulent research and celebrated by doctors, though the real results show a very different story.” - Sheffield Doc Festival

October 10 was Jowita Bydlowska Author CAMH Centre for Mental Health, Queen Street West in Toronto, is a hub of recovery, research, mental health and community. Author, says she wasn't feeling sharp in metaphor building but she refers to mental health care as health care, as going to the gym, as a commitment or routine today, for better wellness whenever we need it most. I think that's a mic-drop metaphor.

Later this month, Workman Arts presents a 30+ year old film and art festival, devoted to addiction and mental health. Since my time at IndieCan Radio, where I developed a specific interest in music as a mood, setting, and special effect, dating back to the early part of this century, has explored the discussion of and , examining how art communicates the complex and often ineffable aspects of the human experience through a biopsychosocial lens (yes, "lens" is a pun in this case). October 23, 2025, at CAMH is the kick-off. There is a fundraiser and a pay-what-you-can, people-for-the-people event If you can be in Toronto, I hope to see you @ Rendezvous.

The legacy of bob k and his contributions to AA, reminding us that humour can communicate better than righteous indignation. I think that he didn't leave a hole that can't be filled; he passed on the baton, having showed us the way.

Bob K. died last Monday, on August 11th. He had been my friend for many, many years. He was also a recovered alcoholic who had quit drinking 34 years ago, on October 28th, 1991. He was the author of three books formatted by Chris G. and which I published. Let me mention all three books
