Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Ah...Yeah, this is definitely worse for recovering folks...I'd mainly thought of this from my perspective as a sober person, where it's a different sort of difficult. I've gotten the half-joking offers to try this or that & simply turn them down, but then sometimes it seems to make things a little awkward for those indulging when someone isn't and then I'm like, "...Er, right, yeah I guess why am I here if this is all we're doing (except me)"
I know there are groups/events I could join or attend that might connect me with people that are also more into sobriety or more mindful of their usage, but I haven't really found any that capture my interest yet.
