Hello everyone,
Am not going to dwell over my relapse again as it will just be a waste of time. I've gone through a bit of a binge over the last 3 months and I know why - access to cash through my credit card!
So am going to start fresh again and learn from mistakes and try something different.
Am thinking of a buddy system where 2 people can exchange email addresses and if you can access your email on a mobile device even better. Am thinking it will provide more one on one support, can share experiences, pain points, talk about how their going, recovery plans, problems, seek advice, hold each other accountable etc, etc. I think that would work for me and perhaps others.
Anyone interested? if so, send me a message through the site. Depending on response it will be first in best dressed !!
Day 1 tomorrow !
Cheers

It sounds like a good idea. Anyone know an app that allows people from all over the world to text eachother from their phones?
For those interested, I can be contacted on teddy.bear.222222@gmail.com - feel free to contact me on this address. For this to work, we need to communicate on a regular basis, take it seriously and be honest with ourselves.
I am from Australia.
There's an iphone app called "viber" which enables calls and text all over the word using internet. I have used it whilst on holidays and it worked ok, so those who are interested and have access, lets try that as well.
I've chopped the credit card and now on day 2!
Cheers looking forward to chatting with you more.
Teddy
Do you know if viber works with other smart phones as well? I don't have an iphone, but I do have a smart phone.
Just a thought. Good idea overall. I have no iphone, but open to anything.
