Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Yeah, we make sure it's good to go. None of us want to be squashed.

I would think contact with friends would lead to recidivism. Just cause most the time the friends are part of the bad influence that leads one down the road to lock up.

There are surely outliers, but that doesn't mean that contact with friends and family doesn't reduce recidivism. It actually reduces it quite a bit.

That surprises me, cause everybody I know who been locked up go right back into their old habits when they reconnect with their friends

I'd suspect that's confirmation bias, as you likely mostly only associate with a certain type of person.

I mean, you can argue against it, but it's pretty clearly documented in study after study after study. I'm gonna believe them over your personal observations.
