Woke up this morning and went firstly to see that I was 7hrs and some minutes into my 5th day of sobriety, and then onto the forum to get an immediate dose of motivation…only to get a 502 bad gateway message…my heart sank and honestly panic set in. It hit me how much I’m using this forum for support and motivation through the craving waves and niggling thoughts that are creeping back in.
Thankfully I was able to get back on.
Happy Friday everyone 
Hang in there!
@Lncy yeah I also got a bit nervous when I saw that! Reminds me that we all need backup support. AA, lifeline, counselors, etc.
Me too…and…breathe😊
Yep. Me too! I was totally lost, like someone had cut the power supply.
I had just finished this huge long post last night and when when I tried to submit it, I got a 500 error. All that work down the drain. 
And all this time, I thought it was because of me and my post was too large. Lol.
Maybe it was because of me… 
Haha you broke the website! !!! And even if you didn’t, I’ll blame you anyway 
What did happen @Robin ? We all got a real scare!
Sorry about the forum being down. It was your morning, but it was my midnight over here and I was already asleep.
The forum did a backup, but it failed and basically used up all the free space on the server. The forum won’t work if there’s no space left, so that’s why you got the 502 error. It took me about 5 minutes to fix and then the server was back up. If only these things could happen while I’m awake…
Don’t worry, Talking Sober isn’t going anywhere. You won’t wake up one day and find that it’s gone and removed. If it’s down, know that it went down due to some technical issue and that I’ll bring it back as soon as I can.
I received that message last night and totally panicked. Did everything to fix, at no avail.
Thankful when I woke up it was up and working again. Can’t believe how in 5 days this app has become suck a part of my life.
No problem 
I hope you’ve enjoyed the time here. The forum is usually always online, hope you didn’t get a bad impression 
Not at all. It’s been great. Understandable to have a little glitch every so often with sites. Thanks for getting it sorted so quickly.
It good!! just glad it was back up when I woke up!! I am on the west coast so it was not that late when I was on:)
Thanks @Robin like I mentioned before I’m an IT guy so I knew it was probably just a temporary outage. Thanks for getting things running.
