Hi newbie here.
I am a data analyst junky.
I saw this and I'm like...... first pass cool survey.
After reading through the posts it became clear that there is a definite correlation between days sober and relevance of this forum. (sounds almost ejumacated
Throw in variables such as relapses, number of posts, time as a member, AA, Religion - you see how this could go.
Being a very unproud member of the multi relapse crew, I wish I had joined this site many years ago.
The simple idea is that some newly sober members like me are holed up with their computer anxious for the next post. So I'm in crisis...this site is up over 80%.
Members who are comfortable in their sobriety probably have a variety of support functions. So maybe they score this forum less, but it is most likely still a haven and tool in times of crisis.
Another survey idea would be to put together a list of tools-have members identify which tools they use and then rank them (kind of like a pie chart).
Sorry for the ramble, but I love this kind of stuff.
Snarly
Tell me to be quiet and put me in time out.
