Im sorry I know I may not be recieved well for posting this but after reading the "Locked"post I felt I needed to say a couple things.
First & foremost...the Lyric Game at least for me is a fun way (without even trying to insult others)to have fun & just release some stress.To me its a game that helps get my mind off personal issue (no not recovery issues as I take THOSE issues & what I learn very much to heart.
How Doug plays well thats his way & I will not agree or disagree with what he does.Thats him & not me.For me I enjoy music.Im not ashamed to say it but in my life there has been 2 things that have ALWAYS been here for me.That was drugs & music.Well the drugs are no longer an options but the music is something that helps & heals me.So for me the "Lyric Game"is what it is.
Ok second...I totally understand Lisa concern about meeting with someone I never met except via email & perhaps I should of made it clear when I posted that I was NOT going alone.
Finally about Doug...I cannot say I havent seen him say hurtful things,but for me(at least in the past couple months he has talked with me via email about recovery & such.Music too as we both have a passion for it.
Please keep in mind Im not sticking up for or against him,but beings it seems as if a post I started cause more trouble than I would ever want,I felt that maybe I should post my feelings.Feelings are neither right nor wrong...they are what they are.
So to the Mods & the board if I played any part in cause disruption I want you all to know that is not my intent.Ive been working hard at pulling & keeping it together & will continue to do so.
Anyways,thank you for allowing me to at least post my intake on this & I hope you all have a nice weekend.
Oh by the way if ANYONE on this board would like to continue the Lyric game I would also enjoy it.My intent of that game was a stress reliever not to cause trouble.I was hoping more people would get involved because that makes it more of a challenge,but there where only a couple who joined in.
Have a Goos all

You are sweet and I know you are meaning no harm in writing this, but this is getting Tim just one step closer...
I have my opinions about doog and have a lot of them, but I will leave it at this... when has he offered support on this board? can you remember?
Also, him and Rachel were friends once upon a time, and he said some AWFUL things to her, I was in shock,
and when I told him in a very polite way about how I felt about it and how he should not treat people that way, he cussed me out, and before that he was my friend.
So, you not agreeing or disagreeing with him MJ is the only thing that is keeping you guys friends, because as soon as you disagree with him? He did it to Rachel, me, and many others, what makes you think he won't do it to you... it's not gonna be because you both love music, I know that much.
You aren't the bow down type MJ, don't ever start.
XOXO

You are so sweet Stacey...As far as Doug...to me hes an online friend so ya know how that goes.Yes I remember that whole thing & really I didnt like things that were said either.
I suppose my MAIN reason for posting this was because of what was said about the "Lyric Game"I didnt start that game to make it a place for everyone to take pot shots at each other.I know you know that.I really was hoping alot of others would join in & like I said it helps me get some stress out & its fun trying to remember songs & such.
I cannot control what Doug or anyone else does all I can do is what Ive been doing...being me,learning & growing.
Thank you for looking out for me.I was never much of a follower so I dont think Id be happy now if I started ya know?
By the way have I told you just how beautiful your angel is???Is she at the sweet stage or bratty stage?You just wait till teen hormones kick in....LOL

Please know my heart & my prayers go out to you huny.You have my addy if ever ok?
Love Sabrina

You have a good heart Brina and I know that you didn't intend to hurt anyone with the lyric thread but you have to see it for what it was. He did mean to hurt people, with inuendos and mean remarks. He is not here for recovery, he's here to play head games. I agree with Stacey, Doug was my friend was upon a time too, the minute I disagreed with him, I became his target. If he wants to come back here and talk recovery along with the lyric game, then he's welcome, otherwise, none of us have much time for his nonesense and I will not put up with his BS or saying hateful things to people I love. Others feel the same.
You are above this, you have worked so hard to get where you are right now. You took the suggestion of going to meetings and ran with it. I love that you are finally embracing recovery. For yourself and your family.
Meeting someone of the opposite sex, in person, from an online forum, is dangerous. Doesn't matter how well you think you know that person, you have no idea what they are truly about. There have been two such disasterous meetings happen from this board already. Families were torn apart and the couples were never heard from again. I know that you said you weren't going alone, but I didn't know that when you first started talking about it. That was why I was worried.
We all care about you and want nothing to happen to you.
