And then I made it. Because.. of course I did! LOL.</span></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[What are your favourite meetings!?]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><span class="text-big" style="color:hsl( 276, 56%, 31% );">Here's a thread to post links and/or information about your favourite meetings, either online or in person. It would be great if you shared a little about each one, what you like about it, if it is a “special interest” meeting (LGBTQ+/women's/men's/Atheist/Agnostic/etc, and what day's/times you attend, so folks know they can see at least one familiar face there. It's late right now, but I'll post some of my favs tomorrow or later this week!</span></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Why are alcoholics not joiners? ]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>I've heard a lot of stories about alcoholics saying they didn't feel like they fit in. Also, and possibly related, they weren't big "joiners" of clubs, organizations, etc.</p><p>Is this universal or what is going on here? Is the addiction itself making us isolate so we have to treat this part as well, stay connected?</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span class="text-big" style="color:hsl( 278, 75%, 26% );">In a meeting today, someone brought up the vast number of things that people can or do use as a Higher Power, and the different terms people might use to refer to God, as they understand God.
