I’m 16 months sober and the (then GBS) alcoholism thread was the major catalyst that helped me get from “maybe I drink too much” to finding a recovery group that worked for me. That was just off the top of my head. I’ve been here almost 16 years and I feel like I’m a better person than I otherwise would have been without it

For all it’s problems, the early incarnations of YLLS and Ask/Tell had a big impact on me growing up. I started reading SA in high school and was skinny and unathletic growing up. I also was extremely shy and didn’t really make friends or connections with people. Reading some of those basic lifting threads put me in the mindset that i can improve how I look and feel better about myself. I learned that talking with people is a skill and that I need to invest in it like I would anything else. SA being SA, the thread I remember most was a talking to women thread that kind of predated the whole pickup artist thing. I think the OP eventually got outed as a piece of poo poo, and I imagine the thread as a whole has aged very poorly. But the message of “you need to actually be someone worth getting to know. Talking to people is a skill, so practice it and be mindful. And spend some time on your hygiene you goony gently caress” came at a very important time for me and I think really helped It’s not nearly as harrowing as a lot of your guys’ stories, but for me it really captures a lot of SAs character.
