This site really sucks !!!!!!
It is suppose to be a place to reach out, ask questions, and get answers.
Everytime I reach out, I cannot get any decent "QUESTIONS ANSWERED"

What are some questions you need answered? Maybe don’t post such an angry and self centered post and people will help you.

I don’t have much to say about the dating side of this app. However, I have been off and on active on the recovery side for almost 4 years. I recommend this site to supplement your recovery program. There’s a ton of diversity from the various strains of this disease, and numerous paths of recovery are represented. I think it especially great for those that live in smaller towns with less options to socialize with people in recovery, or places that are known to be a little more close minded. Loosid is more of a sober community than a dating site or recovery program.

Rhonda,
I am literally 15 minutes away from a big city (Salt Lake) ---- all the f------ time!!!!!!
The dating part of this app tells me " there are no people in your area", which is busy "AF"....
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN RECOVERY AS WELL AS A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THIS SITE
Don't get me wrong, I am glad to be 13 months sober, I feel great, and between residential and sober living,I have learn alot about myself.

Keep learning, keep working. Talk to your sponsor, figure out what your part is in your post. For my experience, I needed to stop expecting the world to cough up what I wanted just because I raised my hand and said "here I am"
I try to do what's in front of me the best I can and let my higher power worry about the results. Maybe finding someone on a dating app isn't what is good for you right this second, maybe it is... be calm, patient, understanding, and accepting of reality. You're exactly where you were before you looked for online singles in the busy city 15 min away, you're 13 months sober and learning about yourself, and those are both great things.

Heyyy, I’ve done my best to answer your previous question. I want to make sure you feel heard here. Is there something specific you’re still needing help with right now so we can try again?

Michael, hang in there, time takes time. Sponsor that has a sponsor themselves, has worked the steps, themselves, and meetings, and surrendering are what worked for me. Took me 4 years after rehab to finally accept it all and finally get clean and sober and 31 years later I am still here. Step 2 saved me and my Sponsor, who I still have today, told me to make recovery my HP and the greatest thing I could do was make meetings. Step 2 was the spring board to feeling I belonged and the rest of the steps. It’s a spiritual program where I have been able to finally be the person I was created to be. And true to form, even though We have never met I love ya brother and pray for ur very best.
Rhonda ----I tried to write you something in "full detail", and "full explanation" ---- somehow - and someway after all that time trying to word it, it "magically" erased. Must be a time limit on this ridiculous site too!!!!!!!
Anyway, I am not going to try to do it again, because that will probably get erased too.
I will say this much however:
Even though, I have a mother that I cannot talk to, no sisters, no brothers, no kids of my own that I can talk too either ----I thought it would just simply be nice to have a female to talk to that is going through ---- herself, or not

I'm just giving you a hug, shoulder squeeze, or just a breath. You sound terribly frustrated, and that can be uncomfortable.
Im new here and am really enjoying this app so far.

Seems to me you’re upset because you’re not getting the answer you want

Yikes. You should probably seek therapy before you try dating.
