Hey Girlfriend...I was just reading on a different board and read your post about a certain person who has wonderful advice for lots of people regarding lots of different topics....yet........Hummmmm....those in glass houses you know. I read that and I was thinking the same thing as you so I re-read it cuz I thought I missed something....Nope I was right. That person did have a hiccup. Not soo perfect after all. Not trying to cause drama...just wanted you to know that I took it the same way!!!!!

Peace my friend!

Hi Valarie, I probably shouldn't even be in this post, as it was directed to Jayde, but by starting this kinda thread on a recovery board is pretty bad, sometimes people have been there, and done that, but yet still have issues of their own still to deal with.and by not stating who you are talking about isn't the way it should be, if you have something to say about someone, say it, don't beat around the bush, we really don't need drama on this board, we all have our stories, some fall, some don't we are here to support each other not stab people in the back. I just had to get this off my chest, it really upset me.

Wait Love-Dove, it was not about you, it was about someone who has cut people down on here and has scared people away with what she considers "tough Love" It is not tough love at all. It's someone trying to make people feel worse about themselves than they already do. You're a great chick, please take it easy on Valarie, she's a great chick too;)

Oh and BTW...i'm not afraid to tell who i'm talking about, it was 12 stepper. I had a friend of mine check into this board awhile back because i told her it was awesome, and she's trying to get sober too. Well who was the first person to respond? Miss Knowitall herself, said some s***ty things to her, and she will never be back here again!

Good Morning Jayde, Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh, just having a tough time right now, sorry to as well Valarie, just don't want us to go against our close team. And yep I find her responses quite harsh as well. I think she needs to think alot more before she responds.
Hope all is going well with you,
Lots of love

Jayde...hey girlfriend...sorry I didn't respond. Been about and about....I didn't mean to get anyone's panties in a bunch. Honest to god I wasn't even gonna talk about anyone when you e-mailed me. I read some things on this board that reminded me of some real personal stuff and the guidelines say that it should be recovery oriented threads. Well I had some stuff that I felt comfortable sharing but not on this board. Sorry that people thought I was gonna talk about people behind their backs. I am not like that...All I did was agree with you about some of the harshness that happens here from time to time. I guess I should have sent separte thread so people didn't get it twisted. When I say watercooler talk I mean chatting. I guess to some that means back stabbing. Well in my world that isn't what it means. Anywhooooo...thanks for responding and I didn't mean to cause drama..I forget that it is really hard to discern a tone when you type...I have to be mindful of that because maybe that is what I am doing as well. Maybe the things that I read that I think are harsh...really aren't and I am taking it wrong? HUMMMMM....Hope you are all have a good weekend.

Peace and Sobriety,
Valarie

The person I was talking about is 12 Stepper. I was never afraid to say who it was. The bottom message with my e-mail was about some people here but not personal attacks. Some of the posts from 12 stepper and a couple of others reminded me of the old days in treatment with a totally strict psychiatrist I had. So I was gonna share some stories with Jayde. Personal stories. Before you jump to consclusions about what I mean just ask me. I am a really nice person and I would never want to hurt or upset anyone here. You have been really nice since I got here and I appreciate that. I do feel at times that there is a "Good Ole' Boy" system here. Like the old-timers feel like they own the boards. As far as I know isn't it the moderators who pretty much run stuff???? Again I am probably taking it wrong but at times that is how it seems.
Take Care
