Well it breaks my heart to see you this way,
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me you were doing okay,
Somehow I guess they were wrong.

An idea that came to mind as I was reading this thread, that you can either take or leave ....
-> When this abbreviation list gets posted, it may be helpful to add some sort of a blurb to the post either before or after the abbreviation lists, to suggest to members that making the effort to write out the FULL WORDS instead of using too many abbreviations, is probably worth the slightly extra time and energy it takes as it makes their posts alot more easily understood by everyone, regardless of whether they are familiar with the abbreviations or not.
i think generally they mean sexual abuse (that's a good one to add to the list; nice one!) but then i never really venture into the substance abuse forum so maybe they use it for substance abuse there.
SA tends not to be used in substance abuse generally because people specify the substance thats being abused as substance abuse is an umbrella term :)
There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.
I aint no abacus but you can count on me.

I think that is a fabulous idea personally.

That confuses me sometimes too.
We're all in the same game;
Just different levels.
Dealing with the same hell;
Just different demons.
I've added it Typsee. With so many different people from around the world nothing is too obvious I think.

If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!"

I think A&E should be added for us USA users, and ER for anyone who doesn't know it.
also, GP (general practitioner) as I find it's also more common in the UK and when I first heard it on here had to ask someone what it meant.
