Starting today

Hi! I attended my first meeting today and this site was recommended by a lady there. I'm not sure how to start the process so I am reaching out for guidance. Thank you

Welcome, keepnitreal, to SR.

Have a look around the site. At the top of each forum are "Stickies"; they are loaded with great information.

Hi happy. Thank you for you ur response. I saw somewhere that there was a meeting at 9 and you could "join the meeting" but I can't find anything. Today I went to my first "real" meeting ever. Very emotional day. It was suggested that I come here too.

Click on the "Chat" button in the orange (or grey) line close to the top of the forum page (close to the right hand side of the line and page. I believe that you need Java to participate.

Thank you! I'm using an iPad so perhaps that's the problem ��

Hi and welcome keepingitreal, I'm with you as I'm new to the site too I'm still working on how to get around the site. It's a nice place with many kind people giving support. Hope you feel comfortable, so far I do.

Hey Keepinit! Warm welcome ... this is a great site **24/7**

You've already started the process ... there are no hard and fast rules on how to go about this ... good job on the meetings .... we think you are a keeper, so keep coming back and check it out ... lots of guidance, empathy, advice, knowledge and folks who like to KEEP IT REAL!

Blessed Be...

TTO
