Take what you need and leave the rest. Its an old AA cliche but seems to apply.
I was here initially for dating but my HP has different plans for me. This app has invited me into a community of likeminded people who give and take. I can't keep it unless I give it away. Thanks for your share and question, it helped me today
Absolutely, my pleasure to share!
I try to work with what I got. For right now it's sobriety so I was for other people that have that view. And if I meet a few women along the way. More power to it.
Loosid has somehow kept me from isolating.
I don't spend a significant amount of time here, just enough to keep up with my sober time and remind myself that I have an addiction that I'm actively working on and recovering from, right here and right now.
Loosid has also, somehow and someway, kept me going to my class & meeting. Besides this, I have found some interesting and helpful reading here as well and gained some insight from what I have read as members share their story.
What I do think is super important is that I don't expect too much from any one tool, program, group or person. It's so easy, at least for me, to do just this, expect too much. Too much from me, too much from employees, too much from the day, too much from peers, family, relationships... That's my thing ... wanting, planning for, setting goals for and working for too much. I drank and drugged over it and ...DumbAlert⚠️...this did not help.
Thank you Loosid for the part you have played in my journey towards recovery
I'm on here looking for people to help
I like the sober tracking, the tip for the day, and the comments.
You're a behavioral therapist?
No
What makes you ask that?
I come on here to encourage, lend a virtual ear and to share my accomplishments. That’s what keeps me going
I love this app. I like the day counter, I really love the sober pod casts. I listen in my car!! I love being sober it took me 4 years to get back after picking up a drink in 2017 with 13 years sober. I love to support others and now I love your idea. Throw it up to God and see what comes back. Very cool.
I came on here to find cool people
For me,. It's all about sharing my experience strength and hope with others so that they might recover from a seemingly hopeless disease called addiction/alcohollism.
