Well Hope
(two beautiful words pairing nicely)
Much interest is drawn to the newcomers here, to the most urgent concerns, and also to the drama.
I consider this attraction human nature.
But for stability, endurance, hope, examples of working recovery, those who have been around for awhile and have much to offer often, I've noticed, write more on other people's threads, than others write on theirs. Newcomers and people with serious issues, and also drama seekers, don't contribute much to other threads. But those who have been here awhile have more time to have something to contribute to others. It's a form of giving, of community involvement, I think. "We can only keep what we have by giving it away." It's good policy. So, keep on contributing what you have to offer.

As an aside, the thread about happiness you started today, interjected that idea in my head early on, providing me wonderful opportunity to convey something to that continuing idea...I thank you for starting that theme!
