I may need to try to get in the Saturday meeting. I am EST in the US as well and will be working at 2 on Tuesdays. Any specific app work well? I think there are multiple zoom apps.

Yea android. I will look more into it. I have never used zoom. I thought I saw a couple on the playstore the other day.
I am looking forward to this meeting. I havenāt had luck with in person meetings. They are very clique and not very welcoming to newcomers where Iām from. My girlfriend is very into meetings both in person and zoom meetings now but a group of AA members she knows were getting together for 4th of July and I went with her and Iāve told her my previous experiences with meetings and how they all have been negative so I went because I really want to be part of a sober group. We got there and she mingled after the meeting and there were games to play like frisbee and corn hole, so I approached people to introduce myself and I got the cold shoulder from everyone I tried to reach out toā¦it felt like high school again. Very cliquey. I was dismayed and when it came time for the fireworks I got to lay with my girlfriend and that was the only part I got to enjoy about that experience. I left feeling very disheartened about meetings again and I told my girlfriend how I felt about it since she said they plan on going to the beach or hiking this weekend and I had to tell her that night how I felt. Every meeting Iāve been to they say āitās hard to get newcomers to stay and we donāt know whyā, well here is the reason in my opinion. Anyways, Iāve always felt welcome on this app and I use to go by the name @Arae so the 3 plus years on here have gotten me through tough times and this community has made me feel welcome. So a big thank you to you all for helping me in my sobriety when Iāve felt alone outside of this app

Zoom today? I think itās at noon Mountain Time - which competes with an outdoor vinyasa yoga class (they are just bringing real classes back - yay!) but I think Iād rather meet you all than pretend to be all yogi on my mat, while secretly thinking dark and stormy thoughts about the swarm of insect life around meā¦
I will keep my eyes out for a link!
And you will see my real name on the screen - Meghan - but I used my nickname M or Emm for my profile here - itās what my good pals have called me for years. At first I wanted to use Emm for anonymity, as few people in my professional world here know my nickname, but once I did I was gladā¦ ā¦this forum feels like the stuff of good pals
