I take a screen shot and then use a photo editing app called, polish, you can copy and paste or write you own. I’ll show you how quick it is, wait a sec…
just like sobriety
Going up London Taaaan on Friday to meet my sponsor for the first time… We’ve been in contact through WhatsApp since last March. I’m excited . Going to a face to face meeting too (haven’t been to face to face since just before lockdown started)(been doing meetings online since last March too)
Where’s home for you is London a long way away. My sponsor is about 5 hours away and we’ve never met in real life but for me personally it just helped me so much being held accountable by someone else. irelevant of working a program or not I can promise you that the only reason I was able to stay sober some days was the humiliation of having to tell him I’ve drunk.
How come this got moved??
Because it’s not about Truth and Tough love, I imagine.
obviously someone doesn’t believe that I’m telling the truth when I make a promise about how I stayed sober.
I still want popcorn or lunch
Well done buddy proud of ya
I can’t understand why it was moved either
Just know that I did not request it.
Yes, I moved parts as the conversation was getting off topic. Side conversations/banter should be taken to new threads or PMs.
It’s mainly why this thread was started. But no harm no foul.
I just know that I missed something interesting on here… Sigh.
It actually wasn’t that interesting.
People could learn something from that conversation so I still can’t understand moving it
Shit, I hadn’t heard that. Terribly sad news. I have a few of his books.
Hmmmmmm. I see a lot of conversations where people are connecting with each other but they don’t get derailed!. I don’t wanna judge the judger tho
Yes, there are many. Please keep in mind that moderators do not read all the threads. When we DO read a thread that has been derailed or someone brings it to our attention, then we do move items. If it is a small derailment and goes back on track itself, then we let sit. A fine line, I know!!
****Also, I did take out the political discussion here, in the spirit of the no politics rule.
I think it helps when people start messaging each other instead of replying back and forth on a thread (though I know I’ve been guilty of that, too). I think people sometimes forget that it’s a great option available to keep a side conversation going if they want to.
