    I finally have the update screen! I have the worst trouble using this website. But I need to connect so I will keep at it. Three days in, not too bad but need support; can’t do it on my own.

    Hey friends! I’m here because I got really drunk on Monday and wasted the whole day yesterday. Couldn’t even go to my kids volleyball game because I still felt like crap, embarrassed and disgusting. I have been to a meeting before, read lots of books about moms doing same things as me but still I can’t stop being funny drunk Brandi. I don’t like…[Read more]

      Hi Brandi. I have a lot of trouble using the website and forums so hopefully this will post. I feel what you are saying. I am three days into sobriety but have had some sadness because I’m not “normal” because I can’t drink. I get that “fun” thing! We will make it.

      • Mary and Brandi, you will very soon experience the JOY of being sober. I have 4 months now, and I was never this happy when I was drunk. Always looking behind me to see if the cops were watching me, scared I would mess up somehow. This is way better.

      • I know that feeling too, like oh crap what did I say last night, what did I do… anyway I just tried to get into this sober at lunch meeting and it just takes me to a genetic page about online meeting s

        • Brandi if you will just click on Meetings, and then go to the chatroom, you will be where the meetings occur. They are at 7 a.m., noon, and 7:30 p.m. All eastern time. Please feel enthusiastically invited!

    • Hi Brandin!
      Glad you are here and welcome to the family. This site has a great group of people and at least 3 on line meetings a day. Please go to “Chat Meetings” to join in and look at the schedule. Keep coming back. We need you here to help keep the rest of us sober because we do this together, as we found we could not (stop drinking) alone. 🙂

    Hi…just joined and not really sure how this works…lol

    • Me too! But I do know that I need to do something!!

      • Me too Brandin…without a doubt. Just had my first online meeting and am pretty much winging it for now…lol. I will definitely keep coming back 🙂

        • How do you join an online meeting?

          • Sorry Brandin…didn’t see this until just now! I’ve only been to one so far so I’m probably the wrong person to ask….lol…but there should be a box in the upper left corner of your screen with meetings in it…you just click on the one that you want to join 🙂

            • Brandi you can just go to the chatroom. That’s where the meetings occur. I have a meeting at noon today (Friday) and I hope you can come! We will give you all the support we can in your sobriety. The chatroom is open 24/7, so there is frequently someone there.

    I’m an alcoholic. It has been since October 29th that I’ve had anything to drink. I began to hide and drink heavily last year. I was unsuccessful quiting on my own, and caused myself to get 2 DUIs within 2 months of each other. Because of those, I was put on house arrest for 90 days, which ended June 17th. Now I will be be on probation for 4…[Read more]

    • Hi Angela…I am new here as well and not really sure how this whole thing works. My last drunk was August 6th…a little over four weeks ago and have been alcoholic (on and off) for probably 25 years. I also suffer from social anxiety so this online thing is perfect for me…looking for strength, hope, and encouragement!

      • That’s great to hear you’re getting sober. I think these online meeting could be very helpful

        • Thanks Angela! 🙂 I think so too…just wish I knew exactly how this whole thing works…not sure if I am even registered correctly or when to log on for a meeting.

          • Im not sure how to check to see if you’ve registered right or not. I’m no good at this stuff either. Tonight was only the 2nd meeting I participated in

          • There should be a meeting calendar on the bottom left corner of your page. It tells you of meetings. They do stuff throughout the days. The one I do is at 7:30pm everyday. Not sure where you’re at as far as what time for you it would be

          • Karen you are registered correctly. It has your name. Welcome!

    Kegan, I’m really new too and nervous. I hope the 12 principles and support will carry us through. In addition to chat does this group meet at a specific time?

  • Kegan posted an update in the group Group logo of Women in Recovery GroupWomen in Recovery 8 years ago
