Thank you, Overcome. I joined through the link above & my screen said "Not secure," and I began to get audio pop-ups... so I ducked out. Sorry.

Yes, Posies and Puppies, that is a concern for some. I will have to say that I have never had any trouble in the 15 years that I've been going in the room; but maybe davidg or some of the others that are more familiar with the computer jargon can address that issue. Thanks for trying though. :)

We could start a thread here on the same topic, if you like. I'll post what I shared in the room... here:

I'm looking at the New Year as a chance for new beginnings in my life. Kinda out with the old and in with the new, but Step One (We admitted we were powerless over alcohol- that our lives had become unmanageable.) also applies here. I need to get back to the basics of living my life through the program. I've stayed away too long and have fallen back into some pre-alanon habits like obsessing over things I can not change and forgetting that there are things I CAN change (primarily & foremost ME!) I can change who I allow in my life and who I don't. I can focus on the positives in life and downplay the negatives, while not living in denial of them. I can take things ODAAT and do the best with what I have. 

2018 taught me that I can lose everything at any moment and still be ok... IF I CHOSE TO!!! I lost my home, my job, my dogs, my family (daughter and son-in-law kicked me out) and my sanity (was hospitalized not once but twice for depression) I said that to say this: What the God of my Understanding took away, He restored 10 fold (kinda like Job in the Bible) I now have 2 jobs, a home with a friend, 2 plants (a place to start, just like in AA they tell you to start out with a plant, if you don't kill it then you can get a pet, then if you don't kill it you can get in a relationship. LOL) A good church family, a good support group (f2f and MIP) So I'm changing the things I can and accepting the things I can not change.

Thanks for listening to my share.

Overcomer.

 Lol... 

        I got into the meeting myself... but I am computer illiterate.

Could not describe how. Maybe the admins Hidden and Freetime could explain?

PnP, try sending a private message to WebHelper. I'm not expert in the chat meetings, but my teammate might be able to help.

   But I decided this year to try new things and venture out,,, I was not disappointed...

Thank you, Freetime.

Overcome - thank you for posting what you shared in the meeting. I am impressed by the work you obviously have done to "overcome" those obstacles in your life!

I too, am looking to 2019 as the year for new beginnings. I drove to my morning job on Jan, 2nd, and exclaimed in the car (at the top of my voice), "Thank you HP for this day! 2019 is going to be the YEAR OF ME!"

It is now a joke between myself and my son, b/c later that day at my afternoon job, I was bitten by a dog! So, the "YEAR OF ME" didn't start out on the best foot forward, but I was/am undaunted!!! I am still claiming this is the YEAR OF ME! LOL!

Thank you for your positive share!

Peace!
