--- Quote from: emilygrrl on 27 Feb 2015, 08:55 ---Do we even know that Faye will find the support group helpful? A while back we discussed the idea of her going to AA, and we came to the conclusion that Jeph would nix the idea, due to his own experience with getting sober.
I'm thinking if Faye does go to the support group, this will be Jeph's way of expressing it as a shitty option, and have her eventually quit and go her own way.

AA isn't the only group option out there. Besides, with groups (as with individual therapists), it takes a few tries sometimes to find the right fit, assuming the group dynamic works for you (and it doesn't for everyone).

Has anyone tried reviving The Washingtonian Society? Having a non-theistic support group around would probably help out a lot of alcoholics who are turned off by AA's religious based program.

I see a couple of references to them online (once you get past the handful of Conservative organizations that've named themselves for someone besides Reagan), but nothing that actually includes their tenets. How were they different?
SomeCanadianWeirdo:
Faye won't run into Padma, she'll run into Steve's old girlfriend Meena. Or Pizza Girl. It seems exceedingly unlikely Padma could still be in town without either one of the cast running into her, or Sam spilling the beans somehow.

Everyone member was responsible to keep the other members from falling back into the bottle

And here I thought that "double peninsula" meant that you lived on the thumb. A peninsula of a peninsula would be a double peninsula. Otherwise it's just two single peninsulas passing in the night, never to meet.

Well, I do live in the thumb, oddly enough :-p

--- Quote from: SomeCanadianWeirdo on 26 Feb 2015, 19:59 ---I wonder if we won't see a familiar face or two at the support group. Steve seems to have had a booze problem after he broke up with Ellen. It was what led to his recruitment by whatever section of US intelligence he works for. It could make for a good excuse to bring back some character from the past who's been MIA for a long time.

Can't really see that, the only other person I've seen in the entirety of the comic (apart from Steve on two occasions) who uses substances to an excessive amount is Tai, and I don't think she sees that as a problem to get help with.
