Over the past couple or so yrs ,I would like to think that I've changed both mentally and spiritually.I'm thinking in a more possitive way,I mean i've learned to engage my brain before my mouth,which really brings me to the point of comming here, to vent. (Before I would have probly vented on the worng person or something.)I've been showing up here I think for about 3 or 4 mths now and have laughed,learned, helped and been helped.It takes all the effort I can muster to get myself to an outside meeting, but let one day slip by when I dont at least make an appearance and I really start missing the place.I really should say that I miss the ppl here because after all thats what makes the place so special right.BUT...Lately, and it might just be me, but with all the new folks comming in lately its gotten a little cold in the room if you know what i mean. Now please dont get me wrong ,we all have bad days but when you come into a room and say hello more than a couple of time and they act like you are from another planet something is wrong. I have asked more than a couple ppl and they agree that things are changing. Come on ppl, we'er all here for the same reason, because our lives had become unmanagable and we needed help. I think we need to be more aware , whats to happen to the new person who comes for the first time, a little nervus and gets no warm welcome? That would be a shame indeed if they logged off ,never to return.Like I said before ,we all have off days but in that moment when the new person walks in, someone else should and needs to welcome them with a cheerful HELLO... After all isn't that how we were welcomed .....You Cant Keep It Unless You Give It Away. think about it.
