Pretty sure this app is incredibly fake like many others. Seems humans are not real, stories seem untrue. I would rather be drinkingnand drugging amd happier then be miserable to be honest.

So leave the app and find other places to enhance your sobriety. There are sick people everywhere. Go to meetings on line or in person. There are several sober groups on Facebook. If this group doesn’t help you remove the app

You might want to begin working on being judgmental - just a thought. 
Nancyjean had some great ideas - best of luck to you!

So your response is remove the app, interesting. Wow you must help lots of people stat sober huh
It seems more truthful than judging
Hey Bob ... There are real people here. It can be frustrating learning these apps.
If you look at the right hand corner of a person's post, it will tell you ...recovery....gratitude ..etc. in green.
I personally try to jump on and do my morning gratitude ..read the sober tip of the day and then I will read a couple gratitude posts.
Most important is to do what works for you.... We are not all made the same with the same backgrounds so I find I do not relate to some people and others I do.
I try to make sure I am leaning on God first before any of these apps or programs.
Best of luck on your journey

I agree with Katie. Everyone is different find what works for you. Maybe some meetings meditation etc. maybe revisit the app in the future you might feel different. Continue to explore what works for you. It's a rough road in the beginning but I guarantee if you keep exploring you will see the light at the end of the road . You will find a renew happiness. Good luck

My question is for you is are you working assignments doing the tips daily and just because it’s not working for you doesn’t mean you should be disrespectful or judgmental if it’s not your cup tea you can exist without the negativity here. Good luck on your recovery.

Bob, I’m a bit ashamed of my earlier post. I apologize. I don’t like to see negativity posted at LOOSID or the great folks out here trying so hard to help each other stay sober. The others responses you’ve received are people who are truly grateful and want to help - I am too - if you’d like to give us a chance, great! If not, I truly wish you success on your journey !

I’m sorry but calling us fake which is what you did, you can’t get upset when someone says this app might not be for you and for you leave the app. There are other apps for sobriety, other ways to connect than to call us fake, that also isn’t going to be helpful with people staying sober.

Your responsible for your recovery. Stop judging us. It’s up to you if you want to stay how can I help you with your recovery?
You may have possibly ran into some of the fake bots/scammers that come and go on here? Unfortunately that can’t be avoided and you are going to run into that with every online platform. Luckily they are pretty easy to spot, just report and block them.
I assure you though the majority on here are very real with real stories. Don’t let past experiences cloud your judgement. Post and interact with others.. you will find a lot of great support. Congrats on your sobriety and stay strong!

Bob, I hear you. It can be frustrating, and I totally get where you’re coming from.
I manage the community here and do my best to keep bots off the app, but sometimes a few slip through. I check daily, sometimes multiple times a day, but I’m also in recovery and juggling life too. That said, I’ve met some real, solid people here who have helped me in ways I can’t even explain.
If you’re open to it, I’d love for you to stick around and give it a shot. I’ll keep doing my part to make this space better for all of us.

Why attack ? People have feelings . I personally love this app and I love the responses when I need them . I reached out to get help and people helped me so if u truly want help then you will find a way to get it . If not here then somewhere . People attack you back because this platform is helping them so if u have a problem and want to tear someone’s place to freely talk to each other about their feelings down , then just move on . Why are you being so mean ? And you did attack first regardless of what anyone else read , so take some responsibility for your actions as well .

That's normal. Change is hard. When you are ready come back or find help elsewhere.
You have to make that choice or keep doing the same thing endlessly.
There was a reason you came here....
Be brave. Give it a try!
Reread your post. You don’t believe we are real people. You believe our stories are fake. If that’s how you feel move on til you find what your looking for. I’ve been sober 43 years and have helped many people. No one in the past have ever called me fake or a liar. So yes my answer is if you’re not happy with us leave the app. Go to in person meetings
Well how about you keep drinking and you won’t matter very soon. That was a dumb post. This site is real people. This site has helped my more times when I was struggling. Sounds to me. You’re bashing this because you don’t want to stop drinking and drugging. I suggest find another site. Is working hard for our sobriety do not need YOUR NEGATIVITY. SORRY. Enjoy drinking because believe me death will follow. Lost a brother 34 new liver yellow. HE THOUGHT JUST LIKE YOU. had a friend found death in his car on the side of the road, he bled out from every part of his body. Does either of them sound enticing. I THINK NOT. GOOD LUCK. You need to get serious before you become another statistic. When you know 2 people you loved dearly died because they thought like you this comment really is upsetting.
Nice to see you are back again Bob! Maybe the “real” people here will rub off on you and you can gain some positivity and trust in your life - I am truly sorry you are so miserable but people here need to talk and vent and know they are supported - could you try to listen with an open mind and think about something you are grateful for ?
