For any one else going through this, Al Anon and Nar Anon are similar to groups like AA, but for family members of alcoholics and adicts.

stop spamming hackernews with your website. seriously. you had one post, that's fine. now stop. this is not a marketing forum.

Is there no relevancy and value in what I'm sharing? Obviously, people are enjoying the content, otherwise they wouldn't have ranked as high. I don't have a circle-jerk network of upvotes. It's all organic interest based on a submitted link.

Ignoring how trollish your comment came across, you are correct. I need to bring more value to HN beyond posting stories that appear on my site. I will improve on that.

To define it as spamming is unfair. I've only shared pieces that I believed would bring value to the community. To call it marketing is fair and something I need to be aware of.

Wait... it's not? I thought that's all anyone did here.

It's a powerful story and about as real as they come.
