Ive been to some, I do like old fashioned meeting better but they are good, too, I have met a lot of good sober people online, and some in remote areas where there are no other meetings who need online ones to stay sober.

I did a LOT of online meetings when I was first sober. I went to noons on my lunch break, and then did a late night online one after my child went to bed.

Both saved my life - I couldn't have done it without both groups to support me. Most of my online meetings were on AOL, though I have attended the ones through recovery.org as well.

I am a friend of Dr. Bob and Bill W.. Friends of their wives actually. I have been in the program for 9 years now. I have just started low carbing and Im having a hard time. I managed to stay 'clean' for 1 month and then started cheating, that was a week ago I cant manage to not cheat for more than a couple of days this last week. This is my addiction! Its so hard to stay clean because you cant just stop eating. Like you can stop drinking and drugging. I have a hard time getting help in meetings so I hoped that I could get helf from you all. Please tell me what you have done to stay "on the wagon" with LC. And if you've fell off what you have done to get back on. Any other tips would help too. Thanks.

for me i had to get rid of the food that caused the worst cravings, wheat flour and sugar, also sugar alcohols trigger cravings in me too, and can cause problems I'm sober 14 years, feb 20 is my aniversary.

Wow, Liddie you're an amazing person. I'm sober 7 years on Feb 15. I was sober for about 8 years before that, and fell off for one stupid night.

Welcome hpnodat; I think the main thing for me is that I need support! Fortunately, my DH and Mom support me, but mostly I go to the Master of My Domain thread http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...425#post6363425 almost daily. THere, we count our cheat free days, and support each other like crazy. (Crazy being the operative word there!).
