Hi,
Here is an attempt at peace. Ok, I'll say what I think! I think most of us, me included, need to take a step back and take a breath. The digs on eachother I think are getting sily now. "Justified Anger" "Foolish Pride" both lead us all as addicts and or alcoholics to resentments. Resentment being our #1 offender.
Relapse is next if we're all not careful! I don't wanna see that happen to anyone.
Just my 2cents.......
Take care........................................God bless....................................Bob
wow... how could this go un- noticed .. no not un notice unreplied to.?... this was an honest attempt at peace an olive branch and non of you more sweet... nice people begging for this madness to end even took it up... never even tried to carry to torch..
then you wonder...?..... what gives.... but it is alll some peoples fault..
this post is the truth.. is is caring and concerned... but no.. it is not attacking and couldnt be twisted so it got ignored.. but...
wow.. now this is unbelievable...

This was a nice try and I hope and pray that it works.
The only thing is once you open a flood gate how do you
stop it. Honestly at this point I think nature has to run it's chores.
To many hurt digs have been thrown around. If everyone stands up be the
bigger person and let it go then we may have peace.

I'll bite. Looks like even you didn't notice it until now, either, Teresa.
Good idea, Bob. It would be great to stop the silly stuff going on here. I'll play.
I have to admit, I have not given any second thoughts about finding a pill for 60+ days until last night. I did not past that, but I was so upset and full of resentment that it get me to thinking about how nice it would be to have a pill. Wonder how many more on here are having that problem these days.
I think you are out of control... Maybe people didn't respond because he has offered peace before and look where we are at...
ee... there you go.... lol..... attack cloaked in justification.... lol.....from truthbetold... or is the coward of the county...lol....

No attacks here, just the truth.
People just don't like the truth.

and here we go on this one
Hi,
The peace never got broken by me, only from posts like yours and others that couldn't let go. My posts lately have only been out of concern for the new comer
and personal opinions on sobriety. I never told anyone not to post or there way was't right etc.. It would be nice to see the Moderators at least agree. My posts have only been taken the way some want to twist them to be.
Now that I have a little time I can see why once others get some they leave.
It's frustrating to see people put down someones advice or input because it's not what who ever wants to hear. Alot of you don't really wanna hear the answer to your questions etc.. You are only happy to hear what you want to hear.
Thats fine with me, I'm clean and sober, I'm happy, I do what I need to do to keep what I have. Giving it away is one way, but here I can't give what you don't really want.
Misty, you said you and your husband are going to a sports bar for a party.
I suggest not going. But others I guess told you it's ok, just leave if it bothers him.
Thats wrong, but thats what you wanna hear.
Drinking or drugging isn't the only change we need to make in order to keep our sobriety or clean time whatever. But, most of you will learn the hard way, I did too, I wish you could learn from my past mistakes, but oh well.........
Take care..........................................God bless.................................Bob

bob you are sooooo right... not because you are me friend because i have lived it...
as for misty.... I would have posted but... alas... here is why you are right... thinking.. no body whats to a part from .. different than.. and ego/pride ... to admit that you are having an issue at that party is admitting weakness and ego/pride is a tough thing... and for a man.. well.. plus to know you are different and cant just have a drink... well... that is hard to get hold of... being new in recovery it is too risky ... heck prolly the reason not going to the party is not an option is that is admitting that he is different and apart from....
even if he goes and doesnt relapse .. it could well sent him into the mood.. ..and that is an example of where the nonaddict falls short of understanding the manipulation of the disease... the risk is too great.. and well bob .. this just isnt what she wanted to hear.. just like all the other things on here.....
you are such a role model... I see it and i wish other could too..

Hi Bob;
I'm just popping in here to let you know how much I appreciate your (and Gina's)words of compassion and support to me recently after I relapsed. I've been distant from the board for over a week now...between work, home and working my recovery program (going to IOP at the local treatment center), my plates been pretty full. I know that for me, and I said this last night at IOP, I'm really scared of these pills. I never really felt like that before. I mean, three months ago I really thought I had it, but who knew? The past is past.
Now I have a little over 2 weeks clean and slowly but surely I'm reclaiming the feelings of self-worth that were shattered by using these pills again. For this addict, and this goes back many years with booze, AA/NA are a true Godsend. Between IOP, meetings, my counselor, and my wife, I'm learning to truly peel back the layers and get totally honest in life. The drugs have always been a way of hiding. Can't do that no more.
Well, enough of that. Just wanted to extend a belated thanks to you and Gina for reaching out.
Jim

This is actually comical. The exact reason I no longer come by here everyday. Will pop in now and then but this is nuts. Get over yourselves...
Oh and for those that helped me out. Just wanted to let you know I am doing great!

Bob I am a very long term reader here and I mean a very long term reader,I have to say this,why do you feel so threatened by Misty,she is not hurting you and yet you keep making these posts about how if you are not an addict you cant help one,well Bob I have to say this,you and your brand of recovery are not what I would want,I would rather be a user then to be an old woman like you.Teresa you may as well get my veiws on you while I do this post,you need help,Tmum has hit it on the head with her posts to you recently,your attempts at humour are lousy and when Tmum came here looking for help you didnt make 1 post to her as you were in the middle of another war with someone else,get real will you,can I ask where August is,he was one of the best with the advice he offered,he didnt need to get on a soapbox like you do Bob and I have this feeling that you Bob were one of the reosons he left here and this board was the loser for him leaving.
Misty,Danny,Tmum and all of the others who come here for the right reosons,please dont let them drive you away,ignore them and their brand of recovery as their way is not the only way,just look back at their posts and ask yourselves if you want the type of recovery that they have,sure we would all want the time they have,but not the attitude they have.
