New Support Group For People Who Can't Remember Why They Walked Into A Room
The Where Was I Going support group has launched with weekly meetings for people who frequently forget why they walked into a room, opened a door, or entered a building. The group's founder, Gary Spacey, says he started the meetings after walking into his own garage 47 times in one day 'to get something' and never remembering what. The meetings follow a structured format: everyone introduces themselves, states what room they're currently in, and explains what they were looking for. One member said, 'I showed up to the meeting and immediately forgot why I was there. It was perfect.' Another said, 'We spend the first 20 minutes trying to remember what the meeting was about.' The group has 10,000 members and is looking for a permanent meeting space that members will definitely remember how to get to.
