About the Chatroom...
The MM Chatroom is "open" 24/7. There are regularly scheduled chats daily. Please scroll down (below the "chat now" button) for the schedule, and the description, of the different kinds of chats, as well as instructions about how to login.
In the mood to chat when there is no regular scheduled chat? We suggest you post your desire to chat on the email list. Chances are, you will find someone else interested in chatting. If you post a note to the list, you should log into the Chatroom and simply keep the window open until someone else joins you. Please be aware that there may not be an admin or other MM members in the Chatroom at any given time.
Please note that there is also an "Off-Topic" room (one of three permanent rooms you will see when you login to the Chatroom) for those who would like to have off-topic chat while the main Chatroom is focused on the topic of moderate drinking.

Scheduled Chats: Saturday, Sunday, and Thursday: Social Chats: Everyone is welcome! Join us for a friendly chat--latecomers welcome, and no need to stay for the whole chat. The social chats tend to be a bit more "off topic" than the other scheduled chats, but there is almost always a willingness to refocus the conversation on the subject of moderate drinking. So if you are new or have drinking-related issues you would like to discuss, speak up! Hope to see you there! Sunday and Thursday: Brazilian Chat: Portuguese language chat for Brazilians interested in MM. Held in the Portuguese room during the English language social chat. Monday: New!! Euro/Witching Hour Chat: Especially aimed at Americans who are trying to abstain during the "witching hour" after work and before dinner, and at Europeans who will have an opportunity to chat at a reasonable hour. Monday: Workbook Chat: For folks who are working through the exercises in the book Responsible Drinking. Newbies also welcome, as is anyone feeling a need to chat. Tuesday: Online MM Meetings: Everyone will have an opportunity to "check in" on how his/her week is going, to share any particular drinking-related issues with which you are grappling (these will be placed on the "agenda" for discussion once everyone has checked in), and to share what your goals are for the coming week. If you would prefer to listen in without participating, that's ok, too. If you cannot make it on time, feel free to join the meeting in progress. If you need to leave early please let the facilitator know when you enter the room so that you will get a chance to speak. In the interest of time, it is suggested that you keep your topics as "close to home" as possible - we can't solve the larger issues of the universe, and will *try* to refrain from giving advice - but we can all share what is working, what isn't working, and how/what we can do to make a difference. As with "F2F" (face-to-face) or in-person meetings, we suggest that you participate only if you are not "under the influence". Wednesday: Semi-Monthly Daytime Meeting: The format is the same as the Tuesday Online MM Meetings; however, the Semi-Monthly Meetings are scheduled at a time convenient for Europeans and those who are unable to make the Tuesday night meetings. Note that these are held ONLY on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month. Wednesday: New!! Austraila - Asia Chat:
While the Western Hemisphere sleeps, the world continues- And so does MM Chat. Wednesday: Topic Meeting: Discussing the topic of the week as announced onlist. Newbies also welcome, as is anyone feeling a need to chat. Friday: Abs Chat: Especially aimed at those abstaining from alcohol on Friday "trigger" night, but all who need to talk are welcome. Saturday Afternoon Chat: A hosted social chat. |
