Meeting #: 1322

 

Making, Creating, Fixing Together (MCFiT) is not a typical How Was Your Week meeting. Instead it is a live action focus meeting.

The topic we have in common as attendees of the Lifering MCFiT focus group meeting is that we make, create and fix objects as a normal part of being human – and benefit from these activities in our recovery journey. At MCFiT meetings, we’re sharing about those activities. We show them with our video cameras, live in our meetings.

As a hobby or as a one-time event making, creating and fixing objects helps us in our recovery from addiction and substance abuse. These activities are often fun, but sometimes mundane.

Examples might be:

*Baking fancy pastries

*Fixing a car engine

*Taking the tarnish off an old sign

*Addressing thank you cards

*Sewing a torn hem

*Painting a picture

*Fixing a cattle enclosure

*Creating a soup recipe

*Collecting sea shells

*Repurposing old candle wax

*Making throw pillows

*Salvaging a worn-out quilt

*Crocheting a scarf

*Etc.

These activities keep our hands and minds busy, and involve decision making and execution. We experience successes, mistakes, and corrections along the way as we make, create, or fix objects in our lives.

Your personal recovery plan might include activities you’d like to share with others in the Lifering secular recovery community. The Making, Creating, Fixing Together (MCFiT) meeting is an opportunity to do so where others in recovery may benefit from hearing you share about your activity.

This is a raise-your-hand meeting. This is not a How Was Your Week style of meeting where the Convener goes around the screen asking individuals if they’d like to share about their week.

Enjoy fellowship and community support at this Lifering Secular Recovery meeting.

All are welcome to attend the Making, Creating, Fixing Together meetings. Speaking and sharing are not requirements of attendance
