Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
I have noticed that lots of peoples profiles are only available to friends. I know why this is - because of security and the fact that details can be seen on google searches.
But does anyone else find this difficult. When somone I dont know posts I sometimes like to look at their profile so I can find out a bit about them in order to help them in the best way I can. Cant do this for a lot of people so have no idea about them.
Also sometimes I would like to send someone a hug or message, especially if they are new or struggling but cant do this either unless I am their friend. My profile can be seen and I get hugs that I would like to give hugback to acknowledge but I cant.
Short of being friends with everyone I dont see a way round it.
As I say I know why it is but I feel a bit restricted in being able to make contact with people and develop connections with people.
Does anyone else feel the same ?

Hmmmm
I don't accept friends as a rule....The google thing kinda bothers me but really I am too old to care
This is why I do it
I had some very cruel things said to me that had to do with the Mental groups I belong to. In a
perfect world, no one judges....but ain't there yet. An alcky member rubbed in my face that I am mentally ill.
Fine line fine line
I have discounted someone based on a group they are in....no more though, well I will try LOL
I like what Karmy said too. Ask her about her friend Eric. He's pretty interesting and I can see why she is friends with him. hehehehe
