If you donât think itâs a problem in your life, donât quit. True addicts find that the things they are doing are ruining their lives. If thatâs not the case for you, then you donât seem to be an addict, or youâre in denial. One of those.

Why is your sober date such a huge secret?
Why are you defensive/angry in your reply? This is a sobriety forum full of very vulnerable people, so members questioning a new member who keeps promising the world to other new members if they private message is bound to raise an eyebrow or twoâŚ

I flagged your post for use of the word troll and for the personal nature at which you were addressing another user. We are all respectful on this site and i found that reply disrespectful.

But it was perfectly ok with you, that user also was outright domineering âlook at you 10 months sober with all the answersâ. Thatâs ok with you. Might I ask what you would call that? May I ask, how are we honestly helping others here? Like really. Providing temporary comfort and a solution are not the same thing. And are there any statistics or links to show itâs helping? I provided that. I donât think I need to say much else.
Sorry that youâre missing out. I earnestly Pray you find what I have been delivered someday. I really mean it.
Iâm not angry, I am passionate about this stuff. I do not yell and defend and criticize
But I will fearlessly carry the message because I am responsible for what someone did for me.
I donât care what your opinions of me online is. I care that newcomers get a chance to live and be free.
And my work hereâs done. I wish you all Love and Purity.

Had the same thought.
Also didnât love the âDM me if you want me to help you get soberâ. Seemed a bit messaiah-y. Why not offer help publically as we all do. So we can all take whatâs needed and leave the rest.

Attraction not promotion is our code. Youâre doing a poor job at both. I get it though, I was super gung-go when I was new in sobriety too. I probably acted very similar to you. As I progressed I learned what that statement meant. I learned a lot from the people on this forum as Iâm sure you could too, provided you are actually willing to listen.

Yes we are in the Derailment void. Yes rules still apply. Keep it civil. Flagging something is better than fighting.

I donât need you to feel sorry for me. I am strong in my 6 years of sobriety. I donât push an agenda on new forums. I meet people and talk with them one on one. It isnât your message of AA. If you were suggesting PMs after 3 days here and your approach was Recovery Dharma, our reaction would be the same. Our forum hosts some very new and very vulnerable humans. Immediately asking people to PM you for the answers to sobriety simply is not how this forum has ever been run. We earn trust here.
You are more than welcome to stay and get to know us and we you. Many a person has come in hot and gotten a rough reception. Some leave, some stay and read and meet us where we are, some become active and assisting members. The choice is yours. I wish you well no matter what you choose.

No, when someone joins the forum and asks people to start PMing him, we are wary and rightly so.

I think it is not the That but the How that is rubbing ppl the wrong way.
