Re: Class of April 2020 Part Two

Dig that's amazing about Mrs Dig, to me it shows that she's willing to support you but I also know how big it is to actually voice what you are doing as it makes it offical but also, well for me anyway, it's like saying that I'm a screw up and need help.
I think she will be very receptive when you talk with her
I told my partner about 5 weeks ago that I was an alcoholic, big for me as I don't feel safe communicating with him as it can get used against me. Anyway he told me that he didn't think I was and that I was just stressed and it was OK to take the edge off at the end if the day. Sigh.... Not listened too again...

In your case though it sounds like Mrs Dig would be receptive

Re: Class of April 2020 Part Two

My SR seems great, except for reading other posts..
I am on my phone, yesterday I had to change the view which is right down the bottom of the page on the left, drop down box that says mobile and it flicks over to the mobile version from desktop.
It is very different from desktop version but I have been using it for years so I'm used to it.

Yeah, in my experience, anyone telling me they didn't think I was an alcoholic was having an issue of their own. And darling Red, I don't think of myself as a screwup for being an alcoholic. I think I am a hero for fighting this disease xx

Venus - when you 1st speak the words, for a lot of people anyway, there comes great shame and guilt, I'm not talking about when one has years under their belt but that feeling of actually admitting to it.

Re: Class of April 2020 Part Two

Welcome Kevin

Good to hear Dig!

Guys 'soberrecovery desktop - next generation' seems to work reasonably well. Don't use text styles like bold etc, don;t use emoticons and don't use quick reply.

Re: Class of April 2020 Part Two

I switched to the New Generation tab. I hope it works. The print is much smaller, but I think I can change that.
Sorry you're partner was so unhelpful, Red. Maybe he'll come around later. I hope so.

Re: Class of April 2020 Part Two

It worked! No 'thanks' button anymore. I'll have to think of another way to keep track of where I've read to.

Re: Class of April 2020 Part Two

If you're in desktop mode, it's a little drop down menu way down at the left hand bottom of the page - might say something like Carbon right now.

you can change it there

Just for anyone who wants to stay in carbon mode, you can quote a post to reply and delete the quoted bit. Anyway, love and good morning and almost goodnight Dee and absolutely goodnight Red. (((hugs)))

Re: Class of April 2020 Part Two

Hi all, hope the site's issues aren't disturbing everyone's input too badly?! I'm in the process of upgrading my desktop currently actually. Well I'm simply buying a new one! as the one I'm on now isn't worth while upgrading. As I use my PC quite a bit, for work, browsing, etc I need something pretty good and up to date. I've ordered my new custom model yesterday and will take a few weeks to arrive. It's something to look forward to anyway for me

Re: Class of April 2020 Part Two

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I'm an electronics junkie Reid!!! I'm currently humming and hawing over purchasing a new iPad for myself. Mrs. Dig has one. Kids each have one. I don't. Maybe as a one month "reward" I could justify this? Lol.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Beautiful day here too in Ontario, Canada. I was showered and headed to pick up a few things at my office by 7AM! Amazing how much more rested you can be when you aren't drinking anymore.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Enjoy the day. Hope everyone checks in with us today at some point!&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We might need another roll-call -- I lost track of the list!</span>
