This is my first time at this site. I am 3 days sober. I just tried to connect the chat and I get a message about java. I have java but do not understand. I hope I can get it working because I would like to participate in meetings on Tuesday and Sunday nights. Can anyone help me with this problem?
Hi Moonbeam. How are you feeling? Can you find a regular meeting in OZ? from what I've heard there are a few drinkers there. Should be some live meetings too. We stay sober one day at a time. sometimes one hour a t a time and sometimes we just hang on by the minute. Your going to start feeling better. If you are like me, as soon as that I feel good feeling comes, the next thought is I feel good enough for a drink or something to that effect.
Watch out for your mind making excuses to drink.
Its usually good for us to remember why we stopped. Its easy in the beginning to recall the good stuff cause we tend to forget things we don't want to remember.
So, could I ask why your trying to stop or how you drank? I drank daily myself, I went for help because I was about one drink away from being on the streets. I managed to go to work and a lot of people didn't think I had a problem but I was good at covering it up to many.
Hey Moonbeam. Not much into chat myself., Had some bad expierences with stalking types. Any way congrats on your beginning of sobriety. Boy!! I know it is hard, but well worth it. just keep it simple, and go to as many meetings as posible. Good luck.

Hi Moonbeam Welcome to MIP!!!! Glad to see your posting and have a desire to quit. Looking at other posts you'll see we have a lot of new people and a ton of old timers with lots of good advise. Its been my experience not many people from MIP go to the on line meetings but there are a couple of choices on there. Good luck! I usually forget about the online chat until its to late. I work tonight so def wont be there!
Have a great day....Try to find some live meetings to go to. Thats what kept me sober in the beginning more than anything! Lani
