Member Oath - All Encouraged to Participate
Our member community is thriving! Now that we have our group support chat rooms, our members are able to interact and support each other in new and dynamic ways. You all have done a wonderful job adjusting to these chat rooms and supporting one another.
As a member of the 7 Cups community, you are all here for a variety of specific reasons. But one thing we all have in common is our love of the 7 Cups community. Our community is a safe haven, a place to find connection, compassion, love, and support.
Our community is only as strong as it's members. We ask each member to agree to these community guidelines and interact in ways that reflect these guidelines and the 7 Cups values.
Today, I would like all members of 7 Cups of Tea to take ownership of their home here. To show your commitment, we ask that you take the 7 Cups member oath. By completing this oath, you are promising to show kindness and support to all those you interact with here. It could be in the forums, with a listener in a 1-1 chat or in the group support chat rooms.
Below this post, type out your member oath. You could cut and paste it, but I feel like this takes away from it. Typing it helps you really think through what you are committing to. Next, at the bottom, sign in with your username like this:
I, ___________________, pledge a moral oath before my fellow community members, making them my witnesses, that I read and understood the community guidelines and ensure its compliance during my stay at 7Cups.

I will learn from others. I will grow from others. I will give to others. I will pray for others. I will listen to others.
I will accept that mindset and change is a process, a marathon, not a race. I will in a constant to of learning and acknowledging that I learn from my past. I learn from my mistakes and I move forward.
I will encourage others in the process.
I will continue to move my marker to healthy mental health and lifestyle.
I will and will need each of 7 cups community to assist me in my pledge.
Hugs and Growth to all
I realized I never took the member's oath, even though I've been here awhile. Better late than never tho, so I do pledge to continue to stand by it
