► A Reminder from your Community Leaders - “Moods/Journals

[avisg]

It has been proven that positive energy is helpful when dealing with our health issues .We really need to be projecting positive thoughts and positive "moods" in our profiles and journals . In the end this will help us all reach our goals of getting and staying clean -- We are all on this Community to give, get, gain and share advice with each other. We are here to help each other; never to judge one another.



Regarding this, there has been negativity/drama we have all seen it lately .It really can distract us as we try to reach our personal goals.  We all probably agree, we all need avenues to vent. This is true for most of us without a doubt, but using our journals and moods to promote negativity/drama is really distracting and could effect peoples recovery.



GTMI and I are just like everyone here. We are members trying to focus on our lives and staying clean. We are here to help lend a hand and reach out to give support and, sometimes even for ourselves, get support.



Let’s try, to focus on positives -- give it some thought -- :)

It can be so easy to get side-tracked here. I know all of our hearts are set to helping each other. If a member has hurt you. Go to them privately and carefully explain your feelings/heart. Many times it is just a misunderstanding. Do that first, but if you can't resolve it. Don't let things continue. It never ends up good.

I mostly skim the posts as i am on and off quickly due to time issues...i must have missed the negativity..but i am glad...being positive is so important...but i am sure it is hard for someone in withdrawals to always sound positive...do u mean like our replies should be positive?  I think so too...but i do know sometimes people need to vent issues that are a bit of a doomer sometimes....

alot of fast turnover in posters as of late...people come on for a bit and leave..maybe just thinking or have completed their goals..i appreciate the people who have stayed and continued to post after withdrawals and help others and me as well...thanx to all of u...and u guys know who u r! (:

R2R , I agree with that .We do really need to think about that ,I don't know if I would have posted if it had not been such a welcoming ,helpful, positive place to be.I know none of us would EVER want to scare anyone away. We would never do it intentionally but we don't want it done unintentionally either
