I'll wear the pants, as long as you get the cleaning done

If NoSugar is reading this, I'm sure she is having a big laugh....I am the least techie person I know (and I sell it!).
We must all join Skype, it's free and easy (no comments here!!) Then, we'll have to figure up our time zones... So what time of day would work for the group?

Thinking out loud....and working backwards... taking off shoes for possible math gyrations....if it's 8pm o'clock in Scotland, it's 3pm here and 2 central time( FD and Gambler). Treetops is 18 hours AHEAD of us, so it's tomorrow at 9am!! AYE, AYE, AYE!!! Ok, we're gonna need someone smarter than I am to figure this out. BUT we can PM each other our Skype names and figure out the time to connect!.

Available...you just gotta run out to Wal Mart and grab another camera! You can get em for $20 and they just plug in (I equate that to 2 days' worth of booze).

This could either be loads of fun or a giant fiasco!!! I'm game! xxoo, Byrdie

Hey tech wizard Byrdie! I don't think you can do group chats on Skype unless you have the paid version. You can on google hangout, though. That is free and pretty easy.

I'm confused, 9am whose time? :H

wee update

So I am doing a bit better guys. I have to be honest and say I've been nursing wine on and off today but it's purely for the WD's which I am terrified of. I have managed to eat, not much but it's a start. I also called AA today and they were lovely. I have always been resistant to AA, probably because I have been in denial for so long. AA is for alkies, and that is what I am.

Tomorrow I have to get up and face the damage from this week and start getting my life back. I guess the reason I am posting this is that it's Saturday, some of you will maybe be thinking about drinking. Don't do it.

Alcohol will destroy me if I don't give up. The damage it does is incredible. Please don't do it.

lovely to hear you sounding a bit better, as I said to you earlier I dread withdrawals, I am dreading going to bed tonight because of that twitchy feeling, but have got a few diazepam left , I won't take one unless the twitching gets really bad. I've been on this forum nearly all day , it certainly helps x

BH - I have never tried AA either, but it sounds like it may be a good place to start. So many people have posted positive experiences. It's worth a try, right? We all know how important support IRL is and between AA and your sister, you are on your way And you'll always have us. It's still Saturday evening in my part of the world and I want to thank you for the reminder. Staying strong. Thinking of you.

rose, after this week I am willing to try anything. I have tomorrow's AA meeting booked, then SMART on Monday. I am also going to be open and honest with my Doctor and the counselling I have lined up. I'll do anything to never feel like that again.

BH, just sending love and positive vibes your way. Hope you feel a bit better and stronger soon x

BH - what is SMART? I haven't heard of it until now. But I'm interested. And yes, as hard as it may be, please be honest with your doctor. Maybe s/he can help. And counselling is a wonderful idea. I just went through 2 years of it. It started because I wasn't dealing well with my divorce, but eventually I told her the truth about my drinking. She is the one who encouraged me to join a support group. Which is why I'm here. Blessings, dear Halo. You are always in my thoughts.
