I know this is a sensitive topic folks but let’s all remember to keep it civil, if you find posts difficult please consider letting it go rather than everyone trying to get their two cents in.
Appreciate for those new to the forum these are new conversations, but I think even in a short space of time it is pretty clear that this is a sensitive topic that goes in circles, people have their own views and are unlikely to change them!
We are all entitled to our approaches. Respect and courtesy certainly go both ways.
As has been mentioned before on this thread and elsewhere, it is usually better (more courteous, respectful and powerful) to speak from our own experience rather than making judgements about others. Sometimes this is a fine line, but when others are getting consistently upset it suggests that line is being crossed. Sometimes it is more about tone than content.
Think it’s also worth mentioning that this thread is about getting sober without meetings. There are plenty of 12 step focused threads on the forum and to my knowledge they do not get filled with people saying that people should try not going to AA and doing something else instead. So let’s keep that in mind too.
