I fight to get online when I can,and when I do,it seems there has been another breakdown.
I don't take sides!! I care about everyone on this board.I'm sure there are those that don't care for what I have to say,but no one seems to belittle me...WHY?...I don't understand it.
So who is still here for recovery?
Sometimes I think i'm a fool...maybe no one really cares about each other.
Wendy...Please let me know about the computer...I try emailing you and get no answers.Let me know if I should just drop it and let you be.I don't want to be a bother to you.Thank you.
Terrianne...if your around I'd like to talk...you too Lisa...Thanks!
I'll be here until about 11:00 or 11:30
Hi Bish, good to see a neutral person...
I know what you mean about popping in here and finding a war going on, I liken it to walking in on my parents when they were arguing, not wanting to hear or see them fight, but your interest being piqued because you love them.
I've been away most of the time since Monday, my parents have been visiting. When I have come in, it's mostly been to read, and what I've read, hasn't really made me want to respond.
I hate to see the discord, hate to see the bickering, hate to see people's feelings being hurt. I'm not taking sides, trying to avoid it, it's negative and doesn't do anything for anyone, other than to upset many.
I hope that you are doing well and had a wonderful holiday.

Hey Janet...I too hate this!! How could I ever take sides when I care about everybody.Even though I've seen it so much on and off the boards it bothers me when one recovering addict can't get along with another.MAN..I fought for dignity through the medical community and lost family and friends through ignorance of addiction.Why fight with another stuggling my fight?
Janet...how has your holiday weekend been?
Janet...how has your holiday weekend been?
Hi Bish
good to see you, how are you feeling? unfortunatly there are some bad feelings between a couple of people & it just takes on a life of it's own & nothing gets accomplished.
I missed the majority of the BS & I'm glad.........It had nothing to do with recovery............and it's a sad day when someone has limited availability to a computer, and when you CAN get on, all you see is a bunch of crap, maybe when people hear how it affects people who want recovery......well maybe they will think about it a little harder!! I hope you are well

Hi Dottie....I'm doing well,thanks for asking! I'm really not worried about me and not being able to get here like I want.I hate seeing people getting hurt.I know it happens,but it still bothers me.
It was sure good to see some character from those that made apologizes!!
How are you these days Dottie?

I was unfortunate to tune in just before two threads got deleted. All I will say is that people's feelings were running high and some pretty ugly things were said. Best that they were deleted.
I have had a wonderful time with my parents. They love our new home, and we have started to move some things in, curtains are hung, I've moved 1/3 of my kitchen over and we've been cooking and eating in the house. I hosted most of my husband's family (except for his oldest daughter, her hubby and 2 boys, however her 15 y/o daughter came) and we got to show off our labor of love.
We still have to move the vast majority of our furniture in, but hope to be in by Christmas. I'm glad that I can leave the unnecessary stuff in the trailer and go through it leisurely. I plan on having an inside yard sale in the Spring, and hope to get rid of the trash that has accumulated over the years, make a little furniture money and sell the trailer.
My husband and my brother in law made a gorgeous kitchen table out of cedar, it is beautiful, I am so proud of the two of them and their creative genius. We are waiting for our chairs to come in, probably sometime this week.
All in all, this was definately a wonderful, memorable Thanksgiving, very true to the season, as I have many things to be thankful for. My parents are leaving in the morning, and I will be sad to see them leave, we have spent many hours together in the house, no TV, just reminiscing and conversation. I know that I will always cherish this special time.

WOW Janet...sounds like you had some good quality time with your family.Won't it be a relief when your all moved in?I HATE MOVING!!!! When I weas young through high school my family moved alot.I can't even count how many times i've moved in my 46 years..LOL..never really had a hometown.
Bish, I've had all of my stuff in this trailer since 85...can you even fathom the amount of stuff that has accumulated? We moved the entire trailer up from south Louisiana to north Louisiana in 91...wasn't hardly any packing to be done.
It is right next door to the new house, so we will be able to pack, unpack and repeat (a zillion times), like I said already, I am gradually bringing my kitchen stuff out and cooking out there, brings me back to my younger days when so much of our lives as kids revolved around the dinner table. I love my kitchen, it is so huge and I have 18 trillion cabinets in there, that my husband swears I will be able to fill...lol.
Dottie, so good to see you on board! I hope that things are going a little smoother for you.

Hey Bish...
This is a recovery board. Recovery...which means people are still sick. We are all addicts and sometimes emotions run rampid and fights break out. It's ok though. Everybody has to understand, as addicts we spent years numbing feelings. So, when we start to recover, feelings start to show up. Sometimes people don't know what to do with those feelings and people get on edge. It happens, but it always works out. The people who may be fighting today may end up being the best of friends tomorrow. You never know...Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving.
Love,
Liz

I'm happy for you.

Thanks Dottie!
Hi Liz...you are right, we are sick, sick people. We've never grown up because of our drug use, hence, the sandbox mentality at times. I know that I still pitch fits, I did on Thanksgiving....my main b*tch was that I had to cook a Wild Turkey that my brother in law had shot. We had tried to cook one before and it was dry, he doesn't take the time to pluck the feathers, but just skins it...well, I was going on and on about having to cook this "buzzard"...I used some Cajun Injector seasoning and cooked it in foil and it was the talk of the party, it came out great, and I can hardly wait to make another one.
So much as I complained, the buzzard was great and everyone was happy.
Well all, I am off to catch some sleep...Good Night!

I hope I didn't miss you Bish. I was watching a movie with my son.
I'm sorry about the computer. I hope it works out.
If you want to talk about recovery, I'm around for awhile.
