I have contacted several people through the GYE system about being a partner, but none of them have responded. (This was several weeks ago). Am I just getting bad luck, or is this a common problem?

I dunno.

Did that answer your question?




I sincerely apologize for this post, I don't know what's gotten into me today.

Im not sure what the cause is. I had a similar experience. so i deleted my application.
If you looking for a partner I think posting and chatting will bring better results... when you get to know someone youd like to get closer with - pm for email and phone number..

I also have several potential recovery partners and sponsors in my 'pending requests' list. Only one person so far has agreed to share numbers. It's annoying because it took a lot to get to the point where i wanted to open up and talk to someone on the phone, i took a deep breath and clicked the button but it didn't do any good.

Just to share that I used to get extremely frustrated, angry and resentful when my efforts in recovery did not go the way I expected. I would feel that if I am already trying to recover, then why does HaShem not help me. (BTW these incidents were excellent excuses to act out!)

I once shared my frustration with a friend, and he told me that for him it is like when he goes to an SA meeting and can't find a parking spot!

It took me time to learn and accept, the my addiction is from HaShem, my life is in His hands AND ALSO MY RECOVERY. A hard one to swallow but one I thankful for.

I don't know is this is relative but I thought that it might help.

I tried joining the phone community as well just now and wasn't able to. It said I needed to enter the fields correctly but I can't see what's wrong with what I entered. Is it because I entered a mobile/cell number?

In any case, if there's anyone in the UK or USA that wants to, or is willing to talk once in a while, please message me

I am not ready to talk openly with real people, but I kinda feel I should

If you live in the UK or US (not Israel, too expensive), I'd be more than happy to talk to you with or without real names. message me if you want.

Post here, "meet" people. See who you share things in common with and then reach out through PM and eventually exchange phone numbers. That would be my advice.
