Do you want a meeting in New York City? If so, SPEAK NOW!
Dozens of people have written to me about meetings in their area, but not one so far has been willing and able to start a meeting. Many don't have 12-step experience, and others simply don't feel up to it.
Usually the way meetings get started in a new fellowship is the founder starts the first meeting and they fan out from there. I'm in New York City and I know there are plenty of people here who would like a meeting. So I'm thinking about doing this. I've got some things in my life that I simply must fix - stuff I've long been procrastinating on. I could use a meeting myself. So maybe I'll bite the bullet and do this. If there is interest.
If you can commit to coming regularly to a meeting in New York City (West Village area), please respond in this thread. Even if you've written to me in email, respond in this thread so others can see what the level of interest is. If there are enough people who will commit to attending the meeting for a period of time (long enough for the meeting to get get a foothold and become self-sustaining), then I'll do it.

Might have 15 people for NYC meeting
I just looked through my list of previous emails, and quite a few people from NYC have asked about face-to-face meetings. I just sent an email to them all. If everyone who wrote me is still interested, we might be good to go on a meeting in NYC. I'll report back.
Once we have enough people, I'll start looking for a meeting space. We will be communicating in email to arrange day, time, etc., so email me if you want to be part of this historic first meeting of the PA fellowship!

I keep hearing James Earl Jones in my head intoning "if you build it they will come"....
need commitment for a meeting
I've started meetings before, and I'm not interested in sitting there by myself for an hour each week. There has to be a core group who will commit to coming every week for a couple months. That's how you build it. And then they will come. If people show up and there's just one other person there, they won't stay or they won't come back.

NYC meeting
Hi Pro,
I'm not too far from NYC, and might be able to make an occasional meeting. It would be great to meet fellow PA folks. Just wondering -- are you thinking of it as a general support group, or would you want it to be a more traditional 12-step program? I probably wouldn't attend a 12-step program (just not my cup of tea,) but I know they are very helpful for a lot of people.

looking for people to commit to a NYC meeting
This would be a 12-step meeting of the Procrastinators Anonymous fellowship in NYC. I'm looking for people to commit to coming to the the meeting every week for a period of time so it can get a foothold.

Thanks anyway
Hi Pro,
Wouldn't work for me, unfortunately -- I wouldn't be able to make it into the city that often & am not a 12-stepper anyway. But I wish you the best of luck with it!

way to go, Pro!
I only wish I could come!
No one is interested in a face-to-face meeting in NYC?
Or maybe no one saw the message yet? I have some emails from people in New York who've written me. I'd have to hunt them down, though.
