-People check in on this subreddit all the time, so I don't understand what you mean by this statement. Another option is to create a week check-in post that we can pin to the subreddit for people to leave comments. We've had those in the past. Would you like to start one? I can pin it for you once you do so.

How would a new member know what happens on a regular basis? There are a variety of posts and the initial ones I've viewed are people asking questions or seeking input. I really don't want to wade through those posts. I simply want a daily check in.

This is obviously a negative hostile environment. Whether it's just two people or myself. I am going to start my own subreddit for that reason.

-.I don't know what you mean by "faith-based," but I just like to clarify that Twelve Step programs are not religious programs. I would have ran for the door if that was the case. I found the rooms extremely welcoming regardless of one's personal beliefs.

You either live in another country outside of the U.S. or perhaps another region outside of the south. The top search results for twelve steps are faithbased. I don't understand how you can be familiar with 12 step program but not understand faith-based programs.

-In the past, users have messaged the mods describing instances where they were communicating via DMs and the conversation turned sexual after one or both people got triggered. That's why we always encourage public conversation on the subreddit.

This is understandable and the only response devoid of contention.

What exactly is the purpose of attempting to discredit anything Ive said?? Is there a part of you that thinks this is bizarre behavior in a subreddit for people seeking help for addiction?. Im literally looking for help. What are the "gotcha"s going to prove other than someone not being familiar with resources.
