It touches me in special places ;)

Hehe but seriously- bL has helped me in so many ways. It's helped me stay alive, has made me smile, laugh, introduced me to friends, given me a sense of community...etc.

The list is endless.

Without this place and these fabulous people, I can honestly say I probably would not be here right now writing this. <3
 
friends. a human connection, in an empty room/house/life. i spend days not opening my mouth to say a sound, but have deep conversations and retard banter all day online.
 
gives me a place to come when i need to talk.
the stamp advisory also saved my life, when i read about an extremely potent stamp goin around that i had just bought.

also, this is really the only place that my vast experience with drug use and other things arent just useful, but they could extremely affect someone Else's well being for better
 
it gives me reassurance knowing that there are plenty others out there who are all going through the same shit, that support and try to help one another get better together. kind of like a form of online group therapy for me. especially at this moment in time as i have a ton of things that are pissing me off right now.

other than that, i feel like its VERY resourceful on pretty much any topic relating to drugs, whether its dosage, combinations, effects of abuse, etc... also like how i can discuss my experiences with drugs and learn from others experiences, as this is a topic that has always interested me. finally, I LOVE how there is no SWIMMING. never understood that on other drug-forums, as it just gives me a headache reading the same way that a run-on sentence does.

wish i could have found this before coming clean, as it could have helped me be more aware of the dangers i posed to myself, and i wish i could have just had some sort of reference to the huge increase in maturity i have gained from these 6 months of coming clean alone.

^This. I'm not sure I'd be alive right now without Bluelight, let alone sober and aiming to stay that way. The advice, friendship and support I've been given in spades here is truly invaluable. As is the reassurance that despite appearances IRL sometimes there are people out there who think and feel the same way that I do, about all kinds of things. Sometimes I've had a jaded, cynical tendency to despair of my fellow man, especially those who seem to think their worth, and that of others is measured by how much they earn, and own, what brands they wear, blah, blah, blah. Here it is clear that a good many of us value each other just as human beings, for who and what we are as fellow travellers through this life, and that is the beginning and end of it. Kind of ironic that a load of drug users, many of us at the fringes of society as addicts, dispossessed, criminalised, suffering from mental health issues, yadda yadda ya should have a better grasp on what's really important and valuable in life than many supposedly 'normal' people. I like that. :)
 
I have many of the same feelings as stated by others. I think one of the best things about BL is that it gives people a place to tell their story and not be judged or ridiculed. I can say what I love most about BL in one word and know that most will agree...herbavore
 
Friends and support. If you'd told me a couple years ago that it was actually possible to become true, good friends with people you'd never physically met, I would probably have just laughed at you...but I can now honestly say there are some people on this website that I care about deeply and have no problem calling my friends. It's also wonderful and refreshing how open we can be with one another since drug use is already a given, and we're often aware of the issues and troubles other posters have - so I actually find it to be a more 'accurate' and 'real' friendship than many of the ones I have in my non-virtual life, simply because I can be completely honest about myself on here without fear of judgment.
On a more practical note, I've also learned lots of very important HR stuff on here, CWEs probably being the most useful...would be in pretty awful shape by now if I didn't know about those :|
It's also just great to know that you've got the power to help people as well and to show them that someone, somewhere, cares about them. I've honestly never seen such a close-knit community on any other internet forum. Makes BL a website worth cherishing IMO <3
 
Bluelight has really helped me find a purpose and passion in my life. I can honestly say that without this wonderful site, I wouldn't be working towards the career that I am working towards. I also feel so ahead of the game compared to some of my fellow students because I've learned so much from this site over the years. I'm an older student, but I have the life experience needed and though it's been a rocky road I'm thankful for that.

That's just one thing. This site has done soooo much more for me. I know it's saved my life a few times. I feel incredibly grateful to be a part of this community. <3

^This. My human interaction is minimal, and I prefer it that way. However, BL has helped me when I've realized that I've withdrawn from the world for too long. It helped me in becoming more social after moving back to my hometown and without all you wonderful people I don't even know if I'd still be here.
 
I really appreciate the extensive support and care that is present in the nature of many bluelighters.
 
I love how caring everybody is here. They're not many places that I can ramble off my sometimes bizarre thoughts and get insight and help. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the community.

I can actually attest to the fact that Bluelight saved my life. I wouldn't have lived through this year if it wasn't for Bluelight.

I won't go into the details, because it's a long story, but it's true.

This has happened to so many people. This alone makes me happy <3
 
BL showed me there was another way. I'm trying hard to stay clean and I want this sooo freaking bad, it hurts (or maybe that's the WDs). Anyway, BL has helped me find a different path, I guess it's up to me to stay on it.
 
Bluelight has provided me with a place that I can talk about drugs,the good and bad side with people that understand whereas I could never talk to friends or family about drugs as they just don't understand.
I have learnt a lot about all sorts of drugs that I never plan to take but I just have a general interest in drugs of all types.
I have talked to lots of really interesting folk on here that have travelled the world and have some fantastic stories to tell, such a wide range of interesting characters are to be found on Bluelight.
I have also learnt about harm reduction and what to do and what not to do, drug dosages etc.
Bluelight is a mine of great information and full of great supportive people, I love it here.
