I was wondering too Alera, when you closed Bams thread you said
"As this thread no longer has anything to do with:
Quote:
Alternatives to 12 Step Recovery
LifeRing-Smart-SOS, CBT, Problem Solving, Self Management, Self-Empowerment, Rational Thinking, Positive Lifestyle Changes, Self Assessment, Commitment and Follow-Through, Self-Acceptance, Motives and Goals, Peer Support
|
it is getting the lock"
Using that criteria, 99% of the threads in Secular Connections should get closed.
Would it be better to change the "Secular 12 step recovery" forum to a "Secular alternatives to recovery" (Smart etc) forum and have "Secular Connections" as a place for people of a secular bent to discuss recovery in a more general way, ie not tied to discussions of Smart etc?
So "Secular Connections" would be a looser format and people could be encouraged to talk about things in a positive way i.e. not just bash AA all the time.
The "Secular alternatives to recovery" forum could still cater for those in AA working the Program in an atheist/agnostic way, which is what I assume the "Secular 12 step recovery" forum is meant to be for.
