That's really a shame. We're always here, if you change your mind.

Come on, stick around. I think you will find more good than bad. Hey, if I let rude people chase me away from everything I wanted or needed. Well...you get the point. I sincerely hope you change your mind.

Newlife, I hope you'll reconsider - or come back at some point in the future. I've been here over 4 yrs. & the vast majority of members are non-judgmental & kind.

Please don't leave! There are jerks everywhere.
Just take what you need & walk away from others.

People have rubbed me the wrong way & in time, I learned more about them & their experiences. I ended up liking them. I'm sure everyone here means well but they come across too strong, etc.
And we are all broken humans.
No one is perfect, there is no utopia.
You have to learn to accept differences of opinion.
Each is entitled. Some just are better with tact.
I hope you'll stay. This is an awesome place to be, 99% of the time.

This site is a supportive group of people sharing their journey.

Just as in any group, some try to solve a problem one way, others may have a different approach. That doesn't mean one is right, and the other is wrong, they are just different.

When I was newly sober, I felt raw and exposed. Every nerve ending felt as though it were on fire. Someone could post something that would send me reeling.

However, with time, I began to heal. I began to grow some skin over the fresh wounds of sobriety.

I learned, and continued to learn so much from the way others approach a problem. I had to open my mind to new ways and ideas.

After all, my ideas had kept me drunk

I was following your posts and enjoyed interacting with you!!! I wish you would reconsider. The only thing I can tell you is that we all wish for sobriety not only for ourselves but for everyone - even if it might not sound that way at times.
