Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Its been a bumpy road this year - trying to find my sobriety and get God back into my life. Went to AA again tonight (2nd time since my relapse, good to see familiar faces that welcomed me home) and setting an alarm so i dont miss Church tomorrow.
We can pray for guidance but in the end our life is the result of our actions.
Praying for you fren. Sobriety is not an easy goal but it will definitely be worth it. I was addicted to meth and heroin so I can understand your struggle. I honestly think alcohol night be the toughest because it's sold everywhere and socially ok for most people. Prayer and helping others really helped me. Keep at it fren. It's a journey. It does get easier though. Feel free to reach out if you need a fren to vent to. I'm willing to be there for you however you need
yeah man every relapse ive had is because i had to go to walmart for my groceries and they put the water in the same fuckin isle as the beer. it always starts with those cans of the cheladas (beer + tomato juice) and once you let the trojan horse into the base - its war.
