Any advice on making this successful?
How do I get started in here at the forum?

Welcome, Chuck!
You've already done a great job getting started on the forums by posting a message.
Do you have the program? If you do, you may want to look at the forum topics for whatever lesson you are working on or you may want to scan the headings or do a search to look for topics that are of special interest to you. You may want to private message if you have a specific question for someone. I have also found the chat to be helpful. Please also ask questions on the forum!

There are no set rules, Chuck. You can ask questions, or share your story, or just read what you see for awhile. When you are so moved to write a message, you will. You are welcome here and this is a great program. Keep an open mind and know that you are not alone.

If you don't have the program, yet, I highly recommend it.

Boon is absolutely correct!

I also thought you might want to check out the "New User peer Support Groups". I've never been in there, but you might find it helpful. The link is under "Community" at the top of the page.
