Secondly, you may also send private messages, or PMs, to members simply by clicking on their username. There may be a minimum post count first though.

I hope you settle in, and read read read, and participate in the forums. Some great stuff and very kind and generous members here. The moderators are pretty darn good too.
Excellent! And thank you. I'm hitting the "witching hour" now, the time of day I have for so long been accustomed to opening a bottle. The Beast is acting a fool, making me irritable, anxious, fearful. I'm just hanging close to the RR website, reviewing the Crash Course. Just observing the Beast, the discomfort, its little tantrum. Good to be writing this as I experience all this.

What are the days/hours for the on-line meetings you wrote about?

Same last name? I don't know; '57 is my birth year.

Chat room meeting details are found in Chat Meetings and Chat Discussions - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Mine too. How's it going for you today, youngster?

Mornin' freshstart, and thanks for asking after me. I really need that now. I'm good. Amazing to wake up clean! Still a little on the anxious side, but my head was full of fresh insight (should have taken notes; the thoughts faded as I got busy into the day). Beast is stompin' around, wants to keep telling me that I may as well go ahead and drink, it's in my gene pool (Scots-Irish). I just moved into a new apartment two weeks ago, and this morning a neighbor stopped to chat in the hallway. Asked me if I drank (who knows why). I became quite grave, said, "Used to. But today, no, I will never drink or use again, nor will I change my mind." That's kind of my mantra today. How are you, and what's on your mind?
