For me, AFF has been a blessing in several ways. I have been in a real transitioning time of my life, and it has helped me to start breaking out of my self-imposed exile from most of society.
I had allowed myself, because of the events of my life, to become extremely isolated from anybody but a very small group of family and friends. Even at my church, I tended (and still do, I am working on it) to get in and get out, without much, if any human interaction. I know it is laughable to say that I am re-socializing myself with a group of virtual strangers on the internet, but it is really true.
Another thing that has been really amazing to me, is that I also felt very isolated in the way that I had come to view some things, and I have had them addressed on this forum without me ever saying a word. That has been pretty incredible to me, to know that I was not the only one in the world that had these thoughts and ideas. I very much appreciate those who allow themselves to be transparent in their questions and ideas.
So, AFF has been for the most part, a very positive experience for me, the biggest negative for me is learning to manage my time on here. Still working on that.
*BUMP* For Renda since she didn't see it (or more likely ignored it)
I just talked to rg, and she in en-route to St. Louis today from Branson.
She did not disclose whether she is traveling by ambulance, wheelchair or standard auto.

I have made some online friends due to forums,but sometimes I do think I spend too much time online.

It has increased my apathy, and greatly enhanced my general disregard for humankind. It has helped to center my perspectives on the definition of time-wasting. It has shown me that there are, indeed, places where cognitive dissonance is viewed as a skill instead of a liability. It has convinced me that the self-deluded desire company, not deliverance.
To be fair, I should also mention that there have been some negative impacts as well.
