ersatzmatriarch

good morning, my SR friends!

here's the deal... the hub is going out of town for five days (leaving early tomorrow morning), and while i'm feeling strong and centered in my sobriety, i am putting a plan together for myself to help carry me through.

i've only got a sitter for one night, so i'll get to one meeting at least. it's one of my favorite meetings, so i'm grateful for that. (trying not to lament the fact that i can't hit more meetings...)

i've got an arsenal of numbers for people i can call... and i'm not afraid to use them!!

the main question i have is this... i was interested in joining some of the live chat things we've got here, but i have no bloody clue how to go about that! (i think i may have mentioned before that i'm technologically challenged, to say the least!) can anybody chime in with kindergarten level instructions on how to join in a chat? (i'll be on my little notebook-type pc, if that makes a difference in what i need to do...)

thanks in advance for any guidance... and any extra serenity and strength you may have to spare while i have my first dry run as a single parent. (yes, that awful pun was fully intended!)

That you are taking pains to address this now, gathering your tools, before your husband leaves, speaks volumes about your committment.

You'll get through this!
