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
Been a little bit since I've hit one of these. There's one weirdo who always PMs me when I make these comments and insults me - so i'm sure i'll get one from them for this (not that it even gets to me any lol) but, yeah..
I'm not sure which was fueling which but the weight I carry with anxiety and depression & my drinking just got to a point I decided to do something about it. Went and did a week in detox/rehab. On the way there, it was the last thing I wanted to do, naturally... But - I'm glad I did, not just because it helped me....but, I was also there to help others when they needed someone - even if just to listen.
Obviously i'm not "cured" but I'm feeling alot better than I felt before I went in. First day back to work today, that went well... So - overall things are looking kinda decent and i'll take that.
Excellent! I'm so glad you did that. Please keep moving forward. Blessings.
Congratulations. It's a giant leap forward for you and I pray for success in your journey, fren!
It wouldn’t be normal if I didn’t get at least a couple weirdo’s or in my opinion trolls DM me every month. That’s a big step, congratulations. Blessings on your journey.
