New Groups?

Hello ladies! I am new to this group and would like to become more involved I have been clean for two years now and would like to be able to help other women in my area or even just have some healthy place to go and connect with others who have been or are at where I have been in my life Even after being clean for two years I am still dealing with the backlash of using meth. and am having a difficult time with other people who don't want to let my past go  You all know the saying that they like to keep us sick to keep on controling us because when we get better they don't know how to deal with us?  Anyway I am getting off topic here but I really am interested in starting a MOM's group here in South DAkota. I have never started a group before but do attend other recovery groups regularly.  Par5t of my recovery is being able to give back what i have learned and interact wiht others. I am ready to take everything one step further and hopefully give other mothers support and hope that things do get better.Do any of you have any ideas or know how to go about getting a group started?  Thank You in advanced for any info!

Good morning Cece and welcome to the Moms Off Meth message board!!!!  It is great to add another member and friend!  I see you are from South Dakota.......awesome!  So far, we have members here on this board from all over Iowa, Minnesota, Georgia, Alaska, Nebraska, Missouri and Idaho!  Some of the women from the last two states we haven't heard from for a while and I miss them.  
First off, congratulations on your recovery Cece.  Two years is a heck of a long time to go and it takes hard work and dedication.  I'm glad you joined us here.  The women who post here are incredible, loving, supportive and always understanding.  We have all been there and done that and so we know exactly what you are talking about when you say how hard it is for others to let go of our pasts.  It is a process and one that can feel all uphill sometimes.  I can promise you that it will happen though Cece, it just takes time.  
I think starting a new group there would be wonderful and I can send you all the information you want by mail that will help you understand the group and what you need to do.  Why don't you email me at work and send me your name and address there and I will put something in the mail to you this week.  My name is Judy Murphy and my email address is jmurphy4@dhs.state.ia.us.  
I helped start the group in 1999 and it has been a journey that has taken my life is incredible directions and has put so many incredible people in my path.  This message board has been an important part of my life and recovery and we have all built friendships that are strong, supportive and loving even though many of us have never met face to face.  

I look forward to hearing more from you and like I said, email me at work and I will get something off to you in the mail!
Take care and talk to you soon, Your new friend in Iowa, Judy
