Hi friends i miss sammy also to me she was a true inspiration even though i did feel some of her writings were not for me it does not mean i would want to dis-credit her in any way. Sammy if your reading this hun re-consider you have far more work to do here there are people waiting to read what you have to say in order to start a recovery program. (((((((hugs))))))))
Danny well said mate jackie xxx
Danny, I agree with you,Browndog,Danielle,mom,Kat,Mitzy and hope I didn't leave anyone out. This is ridiculous. Sammy was an inspiration for everyone. I may not have agreed with the way she candy coats a lot of things but that is what made her special and different. That is what makes us individuals. Believe it or not some of the things she wrote I really understood and she always wrote them so caring and beautiful.It may not have been the way I would have said it but she is dead right on mainly everything she has ever posted. My point is, it is okay to disagree and sometimes words are hard to accept from people on this board because everyone that is here daily is having some sort of a struggle in their lives. That is the MAIN reason we are all here. If Mitzy expresses herself differently than some, so be it. Maybe she is having a bad day, oh well. Maybe she does need some attention, is that the worst thing that could happen. Hey veryone has always been so quick to fault her about honesty and then she posts today and is totally honest with her feelings but still some find a way to put her down. I guess misery loves company. Lets try not to kick people when they are down. We are ALL here for love,support and advice. JMO! Rae
I miss sammy as well...
I think that she is a good example of recovery.
I don't know much, but as soon as I got arrogant with this disease, or judgmental of others, God seemed to have a lesson for me..and I found myself with a battle on my hands again, either with craving or with actually putting pills in my mouth..

Hiya rae nicly said hun jackie xxx
Well I loved what you said Browndog, and you always have a good story to tell afterword.
I hope that you are lurking Sammy. You know how I feel, cause I
emailed and told you. There are many here who need the love you share so unconditionally. What a shame it would be to lose that love......for those who may not have it.....or can't seem to find it in themselves anymore.......

Hi Danelle you raised some good points hun but can i add my 2 cents lol i think tough love is an exceptable way of dealing with someone who is in need of help to change their behaviour but firstly you must know that person secondly who are we, except a lot of addicts all trying to find our own way into some sort of normality so how can we prefess to know what is best for someone um? its unfortunate that has we progress into our recovery some people become intollerant of first timers who are lost yet refuse to listen there is a saying never forget where you come from, you hear people say i kno wwhat its like to be clean is good etc but they forget how difficult it is to make the first tiny steps and sometimes too much information can confuse addicts into doing nothing. We all know that at the end of the day its down to us to make our own changes in life but a little support and comfort at the right times can work wonders as can a little truth but we all know there are ways of getting across our messages and i guess everyone is doing just that getting there message across their own way, so thats why i make allowences for those sor tof people who get so angry and frustrated that they need to be a little harsh with their words all i can say to them is im pleased that there so many of us here with enough thought to be gentle and kind towards others. i treat everyone without being judgementle in real life and on the net, its down to personalitys. All i can add to this topic is i shall be around for ummmmmmmmmmm a long time trying to get my message to people in my way and i hope you all do the same, the world be so boring if we were all the same lol well thats my speach done lol great to be back lol jackie xxxxx
