TDS What do u love/appreciate/give/receive from bl..

I love that so many people from all over the world are able to get along and help eachother out.. powerfully states how similar we all are and hopefully helps to break down cultural and political barriers.. Drug users have amazingly open minds and the world in general could take some lessons from us in this department.

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.

I totally agree w/ you..it has done the same for me too..plus some of the people I've met here are utterly amazing..I met one of my best friends here. I have nothing but ♡ for bl..
 
the people on bl (at least most of them) are very nice kind and supporting and have gotten me though some very rough times a few friends i've made on bl have stopped me from killing myself more than once two especially cap H and tricomb
 
BL is an outlet for me when I'm in a bad state of mind, but honestly I still feel empty even when I get everything off my chest.

+1 I love meeting new friends and helping them however I can. I'm hooked! :D
 
Hi there, Maya. I'm also hooked on BL; I've met so many people who've been exactly where I've been, I'm making friends, and the forum has some excellent information. I think as a whole, people on BL are open-minded, approachable,and intelligent; It's great to be here! IMO BL is so much more than just a "druggy forum": there is a strong recovery scene, current affairs, politics, mental health: I consider it a "lifestyle forum".
 
Agreed!! You have actually mentioned two of the forums I always go to besides healthy living of course :D Philosophy and Spirituality and Current Events. TDS has amazing staff members who have helped and are continuously helping blers who are suffering same with Sex Love and Relationships.
 
Yeah, I've noticed the staff members are amazingly positive and supportive on TDS; they're very well qualified to be operating a recovery forum .(Seriously, I've had drug workers who were far less positive in outlook). I honestly never thought an internet forum could do so much for somebody to improve their life.

Luckily, there are no flame wars on any of the threads I've been on; I've had some very heated debates on the political threads, but they've all ended reasonably. I find it's very important to have a good grasp of both sides of a discussion. (In fact we had a debate class in school, and my teacher gave me some brilliant advice: if you can make a strong case for both arguments, you'll be a strong debater).

Anyways, I've noticed you on the spirituality threads; is there a particular religion that interests you?

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.

basically this.

me and another bluelighter live within 10 minutes of each other, are only one year apart in age, have a lot of similar interests, yet never knew each other until we posted on here.

crazy world isn't it?
 
lt is invaluable to be able to come to a place that offers such support and encouragement through some of lifes most trying times. The people who operate and frequent bluelight are nothing less than amazing:)
 
My main reason for visiting here these days is to share my experiences with drug addiction in the hope that it will be of use to others who are going through the same problems. I find it therapeutic and fills me with happiness when I get the occasional pm saying that a post I made has helped someone.

I'm also always opening to hearing new views on the subject and hope I can gain from other people's experiences to help me in my own struggle.

With a bit of luck I'll be free from active addiction again soon and this will lend my words some extra credence, I think that's probably a pride thing though and actually a damaging ambition.
 
The support I have been given throughout my time here, especially in the RS forums.
Friendships that have flowered from meetings here on BL. (These friendships give me confidence and happiness that followthrough into the real world).
A place to post my innermost feelings that I would otherwise have no outlet to release.
 
So many supportive ppl:) it's really helped me in my recovery. Seems like right now it is the only place I feel comfortable expressing my emotions whether it be good or bad. I just don't feel comfortable talking to ppl face to face. I'm really shy in person but definitely not so much over the Internet. And I love help others who struggle with the same things I've been through and I can do that here
 
Bluelight gives me a platform and allows me to communicate the full range of my thoughts and emotions. Bluelight has given me some very close friends in real life, and a lot of good friends online who I hope to meet one day. When I left in mid-2011 (my wife required me to to stay together), I missed it terribly for a while and then eventually hardly ever thought about it. When she left and I was alone, my friend I met on here was telling me that the old PD crew was coming around lately and I logged back in, and it was like *bang*, I'm back! I didn't even realize how much I missed having Bluelight in my life, and I realize it's because of the things I listed at the beginning of this post. :)

I also really missed being a moderator of Bluelight, so rather quickly I decided to try to get my mod spot back again.
 
I appreciate the fact that returning here from being a stranger in the dark for months & months on end doesn't seem awkward at all.
& i quite like the fact that i can fully vent out my life problems & situations and know that somebody mysterious & awesome will most likely take the time to respond like they are already a genuine friend of mine.
I really like how easier my life can seem when i am stranded in the dark side.
