Your post was so full of openness and honesty and helps me so much. It is such a wonderful gift to me that I hesitate to say anything for fear of leaving something out, but at this moment I think the most powerful part of your gift was the sense that at last someone understood how I felt. You didn't assume or preach or mock or judge, you just listened and understood. Each time someone does that here - and there are lots of you who offer acceptance - I feel a little closer to safe harbour...the compass is broken, the radio's on the fritz, the rudder sheered off and the sails are in tatters....oh yes, and there's a storm and it's the middle of the night and water is flooding the deck.....but over there I see a light....another boat bobbing about trying to make it through whatever this is....and I don't feel so alone and afraid anymore....
I am full of admiration for your strength and courage in facing the causes of your pain and distress. For many of us it is almost too much, maybe absolutely too much. And you're doing far more than just facing it; you're transforming that pain and grief with your courage and love and sending it back into the world in a way that helps me and no doubt others like me.
That is an amazing act of Grace and I am humbled to witness it, let alone benefit from it.
You are blessed Chris. He loves you so much.
I thought you left?
Was that really helpful??
Depends on how you look at it. I read and reread all the posts and cant figure out why this person is still here? That's all
I mean thank you thank you thank you? Izzy cant you spot? B.S JMHO
That's all--If he truly is battling addiction I pray he ends up in rehab or meetings but a part of me feels he is just looking to start 'CRAP" and the drama has left the board for the most part.
Izzy I have been here a long time. If i am wrong in this assessment so be it.

Geez Jeff,
I remember just not to long back you popped over here saying what a breath of fresh air he was.
Did you forget it's not up to you to take his inventory. Perhaps you've been missing some meetings.
Aren't you happy when someone talks about committing suicide and they didn't follow through?
Perhaps this is none of your concern. Please don't twist the knife in an already suffering person.

Your 100% correct no geez? I am not perfect --I always look to be positive but after re reading I did a HILARY?
What can I say--I was wrong---I am not twisting any knife if you feel that is my goal you off base--
Trust me I only have compassion for any addict--Just ??

Martin,
God is my safe harbor who millions of times has thrown me a life ring with a rope that floats. He's always forgiven and pulled me back safely to shore. It is his loving hand and spirit who speaks through others to help another one who is drowning at sea.
His hand of hope extends to me then to you and so on. You to have felt his hand heard his voice and extended to many others.
You understand it's all his glory; not mine my friend.
Hoping today you are seeking his face, hearing his voice, feeling his love, reading his words, seeing his signs, smelling his riches, letting his thoughts become yours. Reach for the floating rope and let pull you back to his safe harbor; the one where you don't drown, the one where all knowledge and peace exists.
My prayers are being fulfilled. You are just one miracle to be seen. There's more coming Martin.
Love,
Chris xxx

subox man everyone who feels the need to be here has the right to be here. Don't matter if you are correct or not in your inventory. (spoken not in anger but in truth)
I took inventory I was wrong-your correct.

Hey Jeff, you're assessment is your business and of course I'm not going to tell you you are wrong coz I respect it. People have to agree to disagree sometimes.
All the best,
Izzy
