Liz, I don't understand all of this.... if someone says something you don't like, either have an intellectual debate about it and roll with the punches or just ignore it. You constantly put this board down and say you are leaving and not coming back b/c of things others do--- just ignore it! I've read plenty of things that I don't agree with and when that happens, I just move on to the next post. Why give any fuel for the fire? I NEED these boards and the help of others, but I don't have time to nit-pick and argue.
liz,
please dont misunderstand me... I will not be posting 'help' to others anytime soon. That hasnt healed yet. I still will not stand to be slammed as before because of the responses you and your anger provoked. It will happen again and my integrity will not be questioned and my motives have always been pure at heart... my only reason for posting now was to try to explain my position earlier this morning. I continue to read posts and I wish to post but I am questioning things that had come second nature to me and that had helped others in the past .. that is simply unacceptabable to me now ... so if that was your motive from the beginning to get under peoples skins then you should be happy ... if not than first let me appologize and second let me point out that your anger and when that inturn circles the wagons, it has effects on people that you may not realize and this is an example....
I wish you peace and confidence in your recovery... the kind that I once knew...
and the kind that I will know again.... I guess I just gave too much away and didnt get enough from my f2f to prevent this... I shall fix that.....

Danielle,
If you don't have time to argue, well isn't that good? People don't want to hear arguments when they come here looking for help. See I think of it this way, Treat others the way you would want to be treated. When I look at it this way it is quite simple. Wouldn't you agree?
Teresa, I know you don't know it now but I really don't intend to slam you or anybody on this board. I'm learning and growing just like you. Just like everybody on this board. If you choose not to post, well then that's your choice. I just wouldn't allow a person to stop me from posting. I can either ignore what they say that I don't like or try and fight back. I choose to ignore. We all have choices. I'm happy with mine as I hope you are with yours.
As addicts we tend to strike out at each other, might be something the say struck a cord with us. Either it could be that comment could had been something we didn't want to face ourselves or we just allow pride to step in and have this need to prove ourselves right all the time. I'm learning to do a inventory on "Myself." I'm working on me. That is the person I need to start with. See honesty is much more then just admitting we are addicts. Wouldn't you agree?
Please just hang in there. Life is good.

Hi Briar,
Thank you. Halloween was all right. I didn't have my kids but I still had a good night. I bought so much candy and only had 4 kids come here last night.lol. That's ok though. Guess I'll have to eat the rest of the candy. lol
How was your Halloween?
Love,
Liz

It was good, I just don't like when it falls on school nights, especially for Tom, he's only in K. Then come home and wash all the stuff of them, then get the clothes and walls this morning. U know, the usual. Love, Bri
Hey Briar,
Yea have a little kid go out on a night before school can be tough. Then the checking all the candy. It's too bad we have to do that. Why people would target kids for their sick games is beyond me. Anyway, I hope you have a great day.
Love,
Liz
