A message to all those drug addicted souls seeking for help

March 10, 2010   Filed Under: Charity, Reflections, Updates   313 words

It’s very upsetting when stuff comes up to prohibit me from using the Internet connection. -_- Anyway, I’ve not been the only one to experience this issue lately… the rest of our citizens were in the same condition, and it took up a while because we had to change ISP once again. Oh well… I’ll tell you more about this story in my next entry.

I just wish to write a reflection over drug addiction tonight, and about some ways to fight it by taking courage and seeking for help from friends, family, and specialized center. An example: the Illinois Drug Rehab center can offer some help and advice, even by phone. Sure, Illinois citizens can take full advantage of it, but why not take a simple phone call in consideration? :) Precious advice and guiding through your issues, and getting a word of comfort and courage… that can be a good start, so I’d really suggest this center for Drug Rehab in Illinois for a phone call or an appointment if you live nearby. The Illinois Drug Rehabilitation is not the only one around though, so make sure to look for specialized help in your place.

Keep this thing in mind: addiction – of ANY kind – is a mental state, one in which we try desperately to hold on something (drug, alcohol, cigaretters, etc.) that makes us feel safer, where we can vent all our depression and frustration. Healing from drug addiction is a matter of healing inside your heart, so seek for people, for their kindness, for their support in fighting this ‘illness’. You’ll see, the road to full healing will be smoother. :)

Experimenting at work

The other two Leaders and I are trying to experiment a bit with new ways to get in touch with or fellow Robocitans and mantain the city with the resources we have.

It’s like when we do a market research online: we need to get quality consumer data to be able to improve our politics and decisions regarding marketing and finance administration. Robocity is our hands, and obviously you can understand how much work we Leaders have on our hands when it comes to keep it all balanced. We need to keep track of the citizens’ consumes to understand what we need to do to improve the city’s overall well-being AND mantain everyone in a decent living condition.

Even online, we Leaders are going to setup a consumer panel to get our citizens to share more about their feelings and dis/satisfaction about the services we provide the rest of the crew with.

Personally, I’m going to experiment a market research panel (like uSamp) on a section of my website and involve the other Leaders and a few Robocitans as testers. If needed, we’ll start getting more feedback from the citizens ONLINE rather than offline, since over the years the population has grown a lot, and it would be impossible to reunite all of them in the Meeting Room; nowaday every Robocitan has a computer with a Internet connection, so it’s going to be a lot easier to get feedback this way.

Also, we’re developing a series of websites that have the precise purpose of keeping our citizens informed about every little and big event and decision that involves the city and our little community.

Granted, we’re going to need the Robocitans to collaborate on this project, but hopefully they will do it willingly. :) This should be exactly what we needed in so many years.

Robocity can’t close its heart

I’m amazed at the big number of robots who recently became Robocity citizens! :) This must be the greatest record in all our town’s history, and I’m really happy that the other two Leaders agreed when I proposed to re-open the immigration process! Now poor and scrapped robots can find a refuge in Robocity again, just like our beloved Founder had wanted in the first place.

What would Robocity ever be without its open heart to the ones in need? This town was born for that purpose, and thus closing the doors to immigrants would be killing it at its very heart. No, Robocity just CAN’T close. Never.

Actually, I hope more Robocitans are going to join in the next months. Yes, I do hope that, because only more citizens can make this city grow up and mature at its own core. AND we welcome human beings too! They would need other permissions too, but you see, human beings are not kicked out of here: our Leader Shotfire, for instance, has a human girlfriend and a human adopted son, and they’re sweet people to cohabit with. I really have nothing against humans, and I hope others in Robocity think alike too.

Anyway, I’m off to sleep now. Tomorrow I got to go out and buy a few chevy accessories for a friend, so I need to wake up early.

See ya.
