Alcohol Recovery Without 12 Steps Community Group

This group was created to explore various recovery paths for Alcoholism. We generally chose to explore paths outside of the AA model, or ones which incorporate, but are not limited to AA. Anyone wanting to learn and explore how to become free from alcohol addiction are welcome. Our main goal is to support each other with compassion and decency, while remaining open minded...

I wonder what's happening with him and DS. DogGirl, do you know if he's trying to get his account unblocked or whatever? Fill us in, will ya?

DS asked for him to respond to them by 12/30 to request the temporary block be lifted so maybe it will come in the new year. He hasn't been emailing me much but he did say he didn't have a good Christmas and has been really down.

He was also told not to attempt to create a new profile or he'd be permanently banned so he's honored that.

I've never posted here so hi! :) I seriously don't know what I missed to have him banned and I can't imagine why him instead of someone else. I miss him too. Why is it okay for others to create a new profile? I just don't get it.

I think the "banning" on DS is rather selective.

I think the banning depends on the nature of the fault and the quantity of complaints, If nobody complains, there isn't a ban - I am guessing here.
Hope is ok, though.

errata: Hope he is ok, though.

There were tons of ppl complaining about Boleon, and he took forever to be banned.

I believe it's rather selective also.

I have made numerous attempts to reach someone at DS and have never received a response.

This site and the people here disgust me sometimes! Such is life, I guess.

Hey HC!

DS deleted all the questionable posts that happened so anyone who didn't see them already never will so it's easy for the people still here to put all the blame on Gunthar. I know he wasn't without blame but others were equally vicious and made personal attacks.

People suck! But what's the alternative?

The alternative is to ignore the idiots. Take what you can use - and leave the rest well enough alone.

I answer new people, and then sit back and see how they develope. If I see they are playing games I don't answer. I have never used the ignore button, or tried to get someone banned. I had a problem with a drama queen once that I let get out of hand and I don't get caught up anymore.
