I called my face to face sponsor and talked along time and the great thing about this program it has taught me that I have choices .I can change my mind I am not going to leave thanks for the kind words it wasnt really I wanted everyone to agree with me well maybe I am that sick maybe a little ha no it was that I was hurting so bad and I was just trying to give to share to get out of me and it was blowing up in my face instead of say guys I am just plain hurting . thanks again ..
But remember this my post is never to hurt any one I just want to at times scream to say fire fire so you wont go through the stuff i did
So glad you changed your mind -- I too love that in life I have choices too and I can change my mind. I was in the room last Friday also when you shared and if I offended you, I am sorry. I like "Take what you liked and leave the rest." That allows me to still have my feelings and thoughts. There are some people in my F2F and online that I may not particularly like or feel connected to, but I still belong. I can claim my place here and at my F2F.
By the way, if I met an A now, I, like you, would run like the building is on fire. However, had I not been exposed to Alcoholism, I would have never grown up to the depths of discovery that I found in working the steps. So although I can't say I am glad to have lived through Alcoholism, I never would have found this program. And, at least for today, I am happy. I have found me. I like me. I am okay if someone else doesn't like me. yada, yada, yada, you get the picture.
I too enjoyed your posts and I too believe you can say what mean, mean what you say.
Welcome back and keep coming,

Hi Dora really glad your staying. Thats what this site is about getting it all off our chests, otherwise it festers and corrupts us. You have always offered me kind words , we all have differing opinions that is what makes life so varied . Glad your here. Much love
Glad you are staying. You are always so kind and compassionate and have so much good to contribute. I know I would miss you.
It is only being human to want to tell some one to run away, and try and save them some of the hurt. They need to deal with it themsleves though.
It is like with our kids. We where young once and we see the things they are doing and going through. It would be great if we could save them the pain of falling down themselves, but they wouldn't listen. They need to live themselves. With the hurt comes learing and accomplishments and they can only really live by experiencing things themselves. All we can do is listen, guide and offer support, and a shoulder to cry on if they do get hurt.
