New Features on InTheRooms 12/10/08

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

Hi Everyone! We’d like to tell you about a few new features that we recently added to InTheRooms.

The InTheRooms Newsletter, The HITCH, is a place where InTheRooms users can submit community news and events, see upcoming birthdays and anniversaries, and read about what’s going on in our online community. We here at InTheRooms invite you to submit stories to our newsletter about anything related to recovery and our community, and we will gladly include them.

In addition, we have redesigned the daily meditations section to include multiple books, from all fellowships and all walks of life. In the Daily Meditations section, you can read today’s meditation, and add sets of meditations to your profile that will rotate every day. You can also write your own daily meditation, and when we have a year’s worth we’ll add it to our book list. We are adding new books every week, so keep checking it out. If you have any suggestions for meditation books you would like to see on there, please let us know!

A lot of people on the site have been discussing new and upcoming features for InTheRooms. We want to share with you what’s coming soon.

1) Better Discussions: The ability to add pictures, video, and more to discussions, in addition to additional organization and clarity to how discussions are accessed on the site.

2) InTheRooms iPhone App: In the coming weeks, we will be releasing an application for the iPhone, distributed through iTunes and the App Store. Access all of your favorite ITR features from the palm of your hand! After this, we will be working on a mobile version of the site that will work on (mostly) all phones that can access the mobile internet.

3) Blogs: Users will be able to start their own blogs on InTheRooms, and share their journey with our online community

And further down the pipeline…

3) Instant Messaging: Talk to your friends instantly on InTheRooms, possibly groups of people and video chat as well.

4) Videos: The ability to upload videos, and possibly record videos directly to the site - for discussions, groups, profile, mail, and more.

And much much more…

Just as in our recovery we must constantly strive to better ourselves, so it is on InTheRooms. We thank you, love you, and are grateful you’re on this amazing journey with us.

Thanks,

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

Here are a few suggestions from InTheRooms users as Holiday gifts for people in recovery:

1) Special Book Covers for Big Book, Basic Text: These book covers make a great gift for anyone who carries their book and their message.

2) Serenity Prayer Blanket: Wrap yourself in warmth, comfort and serenity!

3) Recovery Jewelry: Share your love for recovery by wearing it!

4) The Four Agreements (book): In The Four Agreements, don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, The Four Agreements offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.

5) A Recovery Journal (book): Early explorers used journals as a way to trace their travels. This journal is no different. It’s a tool for exploring and making discoveries about the uncharted territory of your personal recovery from addiction.

6) Chicken Soup for the Recovering Soul: Whether you are new to recovery or have already experienced profound healing, consider this book your personal support group. Underscoring the tenacity of the human spirit, these stories will provide you with the inspiration for change as others in the recovery community share their true experiences of lives reclaimed, relationships renewed and futures full of promise.
