HELLO, I WAS WONDERING IF ANY ONE MIGHT KNOW OF ANOTHER SITE LIKE THIS ONE THAT HAS POSTIVE ATTIUDES ON STAYING SOBER,AND NOT WORRING SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT SOMEONE HAS SAID OR DONE,I DON'T POST VERY OFTEN FOR THE SIMPLE REASON I ONLY HAVE 3WKS WITHOUT USEING,SO IT'S BETTER FOR ME TO SIT BACK AND LISTEN RATHER THAN TALK ABOUT SOMETHING I HAVE NO CLUE OF,MY PLAN IS TO NEVER GO BACK TO THE HELL I JUST CAME FROM AND WOULD LIKE TO BE AROUND PEOPLE WITH THE SAME GOALS.GOD BLESS AND GOOD LUCK. VINNY
Vinny,
I am sorry you do not feel you are getting positive support from this web site. I just joined Monday, when I started my widthdrawl. Sure, there maybe some negative comments here and there, but I have to say for me, it has been 100% total support. Maybe the negative that you are seeing, is only the truth. I had some comments made to me that were sometimes harsh, but the reality is, this is the reality.
Everyone here is just taking it second by second. I am climbing the walls from my widthdrawl, but this web site has been a life saver for me.
I am sorry I do not know of any other web sites. I never knew these sites existed until Monday.
Good luck with your recovery and I will pray for you.

Vinny hiya hun please stay time will pass hun, how you doing otherwise hun??????? jackie xx
Vinny,
I agree with you. Three weeks ago when I started using this board is was great--now I see nothing but BS--I just got out of 5 years of BS----Stick around and look for the post that help you--they are here----just have to weed through the s***. And to those that are using this board for stuff other then recovery, think about that damage that your doing to US--the people that want to recover.

Vinny, I've said this before... If I wanted to argue with someone, I'd go talk to my husband <smile>
I've noticed that in the month since I've been on here, some of the comments have gone from very helpful to extremely negative... but you know what I do? I just ignore those messages that aren't important to my recovery. If you look hard enough, you will still find those posts that lift your spirits or show you that someone out there understands....
It's the same as in real life... There are a lot of jerks out there who take pleasure in seeing someone fail and this forum is no different... But why worry about those people??
I keep coming here because it helps ME... and if I can help one other person at a time when they need it the most, then it was worth it to read through the B.S.

Second what Danielle said.
Hi Danielle
You have a great attitude, stick with that way of thinking and you will be OK
Vinny like Danielle says ignore the negative crap and focus on your recovery which IMHO involves reaching out to others.
Take care all

Paul, I'm so much better at giving advice than I am at taking it... LOL
But I'm at a point in my life where I can't worry about what other people think..
I've always marched the beat to a different drummer anyway <smile>... You can't do the job I've done & worry about every negative thing that someone says. Life is too short and all that crap....
But I do try to live by the motto: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

Paul, you are so right! It's hard to ignore the negativity, but we have to. We need to all be here for each other the best way we know how. Just take the positive and use it to help you. Despite the attacks, I've found lovely people who are supportive and caring. Sometimes you'll be surprised by the wonderful people who show their compassion. By the way, hi Paul, nice to see you. Love and God bless, Kat
I also agree with everyone on this thread. We all have been INSANE for so long that it's hard to get back to reality. I wish you would stick around and listen to the positive stuff, Vinny. Besides there's only one thing we can control: ourselves, not anyone nor anything else.
