The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I am moved to provide you with an amends for my reaction to your post entitled "confused about cookbook". I handled it in a way that I am not proud of by any means. Having had a bit of time to step back and look at the whole situation and my role in it, I am appalled by the way I attacked you for what I deemed inappropriate "insinuations" about me or Rose on the message board. Should there be any future situations that appear, or feel simliar in nature to this one, I will amend my conduct and attitude towards it by trying to respond, instead of react, and I will do so in private from a place of love and understanding.
It is my greatest hope that you will accept this amends.
Yours In Healing and Recovery, John

((((John)))) This is Becky1, but I read your post, anyway.
You know, I have said it before, and I guess I'll say it again. All we really know of each other here is the written word. We cannot hear the fluctuation of voices, or see the body language, or respond in "real time" conversation on the board.
We are all only human. We come from all kinds of situations, some worse than others. We have all been hurt, and we are all sick. We are in all kinds of stages of recovery, and just trying to deal with what life deals us, one day at a time.
It is my wish that we use gentleness when dealing with one another here, and remember when we do post or reply to a post, to do so with care and understanding. And, if a problem does arise, maybe sometimes we need a day or two to mull it over before we reply, just to be sure we read it as the writer intended.
Let me say John that you and I have not always seen eye to eye. We don't agree on alot of things. However, I have always found that the first step in making an amends is changing the behavior. Congratulations and good job.
