And I also think that there's no reason for that fear also. However, reality is that people do feel that way. I definitely have in my past. I had serious objectification issues with people who had good sobriety. I just don't think there's a perfect solution here. I retrospect I don't like the proposed solution because A) There's a huge difference between 90 and 90+ and B ) This reinforces the whole 90 day falsity that 90 days equals problem over. Therfore I think we should stick with what we have because it's functional and people can just do as they feel. Let's not forget that God is the one who is in charge and he's running the show. People will be ok. Also, look how special we are! We are ARGUING, (in a appropriate fashion), about the best way to help others. We all deserve a pat on the back.

I don't know how many members are on mobile

I access gye primarily on mobile and "current streak" is never shown to others even on a users page

What I just changed in my profile can be seen on mobile too, so it's only a plus for whoever want to follow suit

Guys the previous discussion pales in comparison to the following

I had an idea I mentioned to Yesod on the phone yesterday which he liked

We lead by example / action. When people see what a member DOES for his recovery ODAAT that is the greatest advice we can give.

So id like to suggest a new feature which will show other members on the forum what tools a member actively uses

This would be displayed above the signature and look like shown here

I did say we lead by example... so I decided to put it in mine already...

Thoughts anyone?

Sounds cool. I'll have a think about it.

I think you can easily get into territory of being too intimidating and placing too much attention on the person giving the advice and not the actual work necessary; it's making it too much about us.



In 12 steps they always told us that we know but a little, and while I'm not sure if I agree, I do think this can be very off putting.

I have thought about that last idea and IMHO it's something ALL members can (and should) partake in, regardless of "current streak" count

WG, "they always told us that we know but a little".
100%, however part of the reason we post is to help others on their ride, and i believe the idea of "What works for me" is highly beneficial

For example many guys would gain by joining SA groups
If they'd see cordnoy and others talk about their own experience, at the minimum stating what they do, it can be very telling, without telling

My 1 cent - spin it how you like
