HI, i got a family member to check out the site here she came to me and admitted she has an addiction to pain pills she turned to me because she knew i have been there and she was crying out for help and the sad thing is i know this post could have help her she has no computer so my hubby and i let her use ours but when she checked it out it scared her away she needs so much help and all the argueing scared her away i can only think now how many others have came here and not seen the good this site has done and can do there are great dear members here but when others who are new sine in and the first thing they see is judgement and hurtful post they are so fragile as it is as we know we have all been there scares them' so my hubby and i came across a email addy site that had been posted on here and she had sent them a email she only wanted info and some Q? answered i told her this was the best post and how it saved me and we support and guide all who want help! but what she saw made her feel worse i have been a member of this post for some time i know the miracal that can truly happen for others when we work together here i became one of them thanks to every one working together i know we don't have to agree but it just so sad now when i saw how this afected and made some one who only wanted help turn away from a great post because she thought she would only be judged and turned away because the first thing she saw was the negative instead of the positive it's just so so sad i just thought you should know' i just wonder how many others came here looking for support and did the same. PLEASE understand i 'am not running any one down i would never do that i think' you are all dear people in my opinion you are all angels and we all have a right to our opinion yes but when it turns into insults and hurtful posts that is no longer an opinion that is hate i 'am sorry i 'am just very upset by what happened here i just needed to get it out please forgive me if i hurt anyones feelings i 'am just feeling like i failed her and i feel very down because of it. LOVE + HUGS LITTLE H.

Little H,
Jackie is right. You did nothing wrong. I'm sorry for what happened, that's all I can say. Tell her to come back and give this forum another try. As you know, things do change and often for the better.
Again I apologize.

Hi LittleH,
Sorry your relative seen what went on here. Just try and explain that this board is full of addicts and this happens sometimes, ya know? If we weren't a sick bunch then we wouldn't be here. Some of us are still learning how to feel and sometimes emotions get the best of us, especially when numbed for so long. I hope she understands. I hope you have a great day LittleH.
Love,
Liz

Hey Lilypad,
I'm glad you stuck it out. Really, there is great people on this board. Arguements break out from time to time and usually what ends up happening is the people that don't get along today end up being best of friends later. Good luck to you and your recovery.
Love,
Liz
