As mentioned in the description, we can also offer peer support. The main reason the secular forum came into existence is there was not a place for those of us working programs and recovery that was not twelve-step based. It was a place to discuss our issues and programs. Over time, the board has shifted to 12-step and religion bashing, which was never its purpose.
Many of the threads in this forum DO offer peer support and discussions regarding lifestyle changes, rational thinking and so on. It is not as limiting as one might think.
