I really don't understand why people come on here in the first place. Can you honestly tell me why you started to use this app and if you stuck with the plan or diverted towards the gossip and boasting crowd? I personally came on here to do exactly what I'm still doing. Which is, "tell you what's on my mind" without having to worry about a single comment flooding in. I use this app for selfish purposes to release the questions I have into the Universe so God can answer back through someone. That's it. I'm not here for dating so let's skip that song and dance, hearing everyone's sob story because I have one too nobody needs to hear, I don't mind making friends if you can keep an open mind but I'm not looking for any. Why do you use this app? I'm curious to know..
I was looking for a day counter
Found. How many days..
I am here for the support and motivation, definitely not for dating😆
I think many people are still in their addiction mindset- playing the victim, “poor me, poor me…”
Addiction doesn’t care, it’s goal is to kill and destroy.
I do believe everyone is at a different point in their recovery, and maybe some people have no one in their lives to listen or to care. Maybe getting it out is therapeutic to them. And to some, reading about the negativity in other’s lives is depressing and heavy. I get it. And if you’re not one of those people great, I’m not either. In recovery, we need to own up to our faults, gain our power back and fight the fight. But at the end of the day, this app is so everyone can share support. To have someone to lean on, to help others as it makes people feel better knowing they helped someone. Some people use it for the wrong reasons, but that is their recovery and their problem. Stay away from the negativity, keep on your path and keep recovering. For me personally, I wanted to see if there was anyone out there I could relate to. Some stories are too heavy for me, and I choose to walk away from those things. I enjoy engaging in positive conversations, encouraging others, supporting others and sometimes I need that same support when I reach a sobriety milestone. I also love the sobriety day counter and the goals it helps me work up to. I like listening to the audio stories. It can be a gossip platform or a recovery tool. It’s what people make of it I guess.
All of this!
I enjoy the podcasts myself they hit home alot!!
I agree with Tracy-the podcasts are awesome.
3!
I feel sorry for your negativity and what appears to come off as angry and sadness. It appears as insecure control. even though it is put in the form of inquiry. I hope that you find the answers to your inquiry, but it saddens me in the way that you pose the question.

To talk to damaged ppl like myself cause they can relate and say what worked for them
I also came here for the day counter. I stayed because I enjoy connecting with others. I relate to the insanity, the pain, the suffering, the gratitude, the growth, the honesty, the wins, the losses… I’m an AA guy, but my mind has been opened to many other tools that have complimented my sobriety. I believe I was led to this app by a power greater than myself. Many of the messages on here are exactly what I need to hear. I’ve met some really cool people that have enhanced my recovery, and I hope they can say they the same about me. Wishing everyone peace, love, and recovery
That was perfect. I couldn't agree more and I'm absolutely shocked how much you got through. I appreciate you taking the time out. But then again the universe always answers.
That's ok, everyone has an opinion of a person they don't know.
I believe in the same path. Which is why I ask questions knowing the universe will always answer. I too have met a lot of good people on here that I enjoy talking with. A person being able to relate to and not feel judgement. Some who understands the pain but the reward from growth afterwards. This app has done a lot of good once you learn to sift through the other bs that people like to throw in there. Thanks.
To find you
Well here I am. Congratulations you just won door prize number six.
I agree with you though
I live and work in an environment where literally everyone drinks. Drinks too much or just flat out drunks.
I’m 7 months sober and no one I know can relate to me nor me to them. I guess I’m just wondering how other folks deal with that.
