Negative people ....

[ILoveLukey]

I can not figure out why negative people who  constantly discourage are allowed to stay on this forum.Personally, I haved loved this forum and have received much support.But if  this is allowed to continue, I will surely leave, as I  will not be detered from the support I have gotten here but just the same, refuse to continue because of the negativity that I have been reading.....which is not what this site is all about. It is rediculous to let a total pessimist continue to try to bring  some of us us down and I for one will not tolerate it therefore will go elsewhere.

Positivity is so important..even when people post things that seem virtually impossible to kick...it can be done and being negative will not help...there is always help...what post is this you guys are speaking of?

I agree and sure hope it wasn't me.

H i , I felt the same lastweek bc alot of posts were saying you won't make it wo NA or really focusing on high chances of relapse and just gloom and doom posts. We all need to hear the truth about what lies ahead esp. those who have not read and have become knowlegable on what to expect in recovery..ie usually relapse. I 've read some posts that were all negative but usually see mostly positive and supportive. I don't know what particular posts you mean..alot of relapses the passed few days but if you mean those you shouldn't see them as negative but educational. This is a difficult journey.

I hope you give the forum a longer chance. Sometimes it's good to hook up with a few people that you have the most in common with and PM them giving yourself a break from reading the posts if things are getting to you. Focus on the support and not the negativity. You need positive thoughts to beat this. Best of luck , Corey

When u stop reaching out and stop even trying or caring....that is giving up...as long as you reach out, then there is help and support..reading about relapse is part of it...part of the forum...it happens...and will continue to happen...for many and not all...being eduacted on PAWS and seeking aftercare helps but wont prevent it totallty for all...people who relapse or have a bump in their road to recovery need support as well..it is a complicated process and no one is right and no one is wrong...but we are all trying...that is what is important...and what bonds us together as a group
