Hi all

Dear @theirishaussiwe ,

Welcome to the forums. Thank you for sharing a little about yourself.

I hear how mental health issues can be so challenging. Yet I also want to acknowledge that you are a father to a beautiful 15 year old.

We look forward to hearing from you where this is a safe space to share within the limits of a few Community Guidelines: https://saneforums.org/articles/community-guidelines

What are some of your hobbies?

We look forward to hearing from you,

I'm glad you are here, connecting with others and open to sharing what you've been through. We're here for you on your journey of recovery :)

Thanks @Jynx

My apologies. Will keep to those in future

@BAO ,

Thank you.

Hobbies? Well, I am a keen soccer player. Qualified Pilot and want to get back into it after 7 years away from it dealing with things. Run my own side hustle in IT. And spending time with my daughter primarily.

@Jynx

Need to get my username and email sorted as they are not quite right. Can you assist?

I'm also an ACT SES volunteer

Sounds like you've had an extraordinary life! I'm sure you have a lot to impart to your daughter. A qualified pilot? That's so awesome! And I'm sure playing soccer helps the mind and body.

It's so powerful sharing experiences and providing peer support. I hope you find this a valuable space @theirishaussiwe 

@theirishaussiwe our team can certainly assist you - flick us an email via team@saneforums.org and let us know what you'd like changed. We may not be able to action anything tonight but can let the tech team know what you need tomorrow :)

Hi @theirishaussiwe

I'm pleased to meet you here today 😊

Sounds like you've found this safe place for sharing and caring today

Welcome on board 👍

It takes a little while to get used to the site but is worth it.

Trust me, I'm technologically challenged!

Your daughter is obviously very special to you and I wish you both well 😊.

Re the guidelines just be careful of anything that could identify you and avoid anything that could trigger someone else.

You'll get used to it...

I'm a recovering alcoholic who isn't drinking at the moment 🙃 so I understand a bit of your journey.

I'm going to tag a few of my friends here for you.

Oh I forgot to mention that you just type an "@" then the tag name of the member you'd like to include in your posts eg. @Taali

Be seeing you.
