Kicking off our Monday Meetup tonight with a topic that many of you may be able to relate to.

Re: Monday Meetup - Join us weekly!
Hi! I have two cats, Leo and Rigby, three years old.
Very different personalities. Rigby is like a rag doll, loves being cuddled whereas Leo is only interested in his food!
I think pets are so important in peoples lives, they love you unconditionally and are always there for you.
I’d be lost without them.

Re: Monday Meetup - Join us weekly!
Hi everyone,
Welcome to tonight's Monday Meetup. We hope everyone is going okay, particularly as covid19 cases are rising in some areas.
Our chat this evening will focus on alcohol and gambling. Gambling and Alcohol counsellors often hear people admit: “I only gamble when I’ve had a couple.” Research confirms that problem gambling is more common amongst people whose alcohol use is problematic compared with people who drink more moderately. The effects of even a couple of drinks can be dramatic, lowering inhibitions and increasing impulsivity.
Is this something you are experiencing or have struggled with in the past? Perhaps you know someone that is going through something similar whether it be a family member or a friend. How are you coping and what has helped or is helping you break the habit?
Our forum is an anonymous and safe space to share openly and honestly. If you're comfortable to share your story, we'd love to hear from you.
If you'd like to read more about it please also see our latest blog here.
Hope to hear from you

Re: Monday Meetup - Join us weekly!
Hi everyone,
It's that time of night again for Monday Meetup.
Checking in with you to see how you're going, how was your weekend?
Just a heads up there's a new Impulsivity Game available which looks at how well you can control your impulses.
Researchers at Monash University and Turning Point have created a brand new game which measures exactly that.
They are looking for people seeking help for their alcohol, drug use or gambling to try the game. It will help us understand how impulsive reactions influence your decision to control your drinking, drug use or gambling, and assist us to create innovative treatments that can help managing everyday impulses.
There are 3 mini games and the survey takes about 60 minutes to complete. A Coles gift card is available for your participation! If you're interested in participating and finding out more, click here.
Hope to hear from you soon. Let us know what you've been up to and what topics you'd like to hear more about

Re: Monday Meetup - Join us weekly!
Hi everyone, welcome to tonight's Monday Meetup
Wondering how you all are going during this covid19 period?
How has it impacted or changed your road to recovery, are you finding it easier or harder to stay sober?
We also recently posted our Q&A with relationship Counsellor Jeremy which talked about 'Sexual drive and intimacy and recovery'. Is this something that is relatable to you? If you missed the blog post you can read it here.
Looking forward to hearing from you, all are welcome to join in.
