Well, you know who you are - got your wish. Liz is now permanently banned from the board. Hope youre happy now. I think it sucks big time. I know she had her bad days, just like alot of us do. Some worse than others. I know she was warned. But I also know how she reached out to help people that some others could not be bothered with. She always stuck up for the underdog. I wont go on to waste anyones time. I dont agree with it - but I dont have any "pull" around here.
Hi Marie,
I think it sucks too. After everything everyone else got away with including myself. And there are those who are still getting away with slander here but I guess thats ok. Oh well, can't do anything about it.
Take care, Marie..........................God bless.......................................Bob

I feel sorry for Liz.. but I can't say I'm sorry she's gone. She chose to stir the s*** around here as much as she could, even when people tried to reach out to her. Maybe I didn't try hard enough and maybe I should have been a bigger person and let go all of the horrible things that she said, but it was very hard and not condusive to recovery, mine or anyone else's. I wish her no harm and hope that one day she can let go of her anger long enough to listen to what someone has to say without lashing out. I know that she is in pain and is scared of what's to come, but aren't we all? Do the rest of us deserve her anger when we are just as scared and hurt? It doesn't belong here. It belongs with a professional who is way more equipt than we are.
As far as having "pull" around here with the moderators, I don't think anyone asked them to ban her, she hung herself on that one. The taunting was probably the last straw for them.
I hope one day that they would consider giving her a chance to come back when she is more at peace with herself and has gotten help with her anger issues.
Just my opinion, I'm not speaking for anyone but myself.

Yeah, I understand that. Its just that it pulls at my heart to think of the problems - especially when there are kids involved. I just think how it would be to not have my kids and I would definately lose it. I couldnt stand Liz when she first came to this site - because she was starting a bunch of crap. Then I saw through her - then I read her story about losing her kids, etc. Its so sad. I really hope she gets the help she needs.
Hope everyone has a good night and a Happy and safe Halloween.
Love,
Marie

I agree, Marie, it is a sad story, but lots of people here have sad stories and don't bash others at every turn. We all are here to ask for help and support but when you ask, you don't bite the hand that feeds you.. sorry, I just feel really bad about all of this. It doesn't sit well with me.
Hope that your weekend is good..
Love you

marie,
i come here sometimes and you post really is shocking. do really think that her getting baned makes anyone happy? and they know who they are. no one got her banned but her own stupid actions of meanness and spite. i think that she had been warned and warned, and then what did she do? she provokes and taunts the moderators? she may be hurting but what about the others on here that are hurting. as some one said earlier today, so get away with being mean spirited and have for a long time and when others try to help her and she gets mad the whole board is in chaos.
i dont think anyone intended to get her banned. she did it to herself. after she gets hold of her temper maybe she can come back. but she isnt the only one that has left as i understand it.
when you say have a good weekend, marie, do you really mean everyone? or are you just as guily of forming little groups as others have been accused of.

Oh no, here we go again.
Good night to my little "clique" LOL
Love,
Marie
BTW are you sure your name is Janice. Odd, how you just decided to join when we were speaking of Liz. What a coincidence. Ha ha. I'm NOT a blond - no offense Cowgirl :o)
So, Janice, if that is your name for now, I really dont feel like starting any more BS - why are you so defensive, if you just joined this board for heavens sake? hmmmmm.........Just wonderin. What's your story, anyway?

It's ok Janice. Marie is a warm and loving soul who just felt bad about someone's situation. I think she understands everyone's feelings on this. No one wants to see anyone shut out, this was just unavoidable due to the anger and nastiness.
She really did mean for everyone to have a good weekend and I hope that you do too. Are you ok tonight? Would you like to talk?

Marie,
Let it go, I know who it is and it's not worth it, not even smart enough to change the pattern of writting lol. By the way, Liz is fine, went to a meeting and really liked it. Also found an online group ( not ours ) where she felt comfratable. Anyway, most people here, including myself don't have enough time to throw there recovery up in anyones face, and those that do have alot of time wouldn't do that. Liz asked someone in the group she found how much time they had and the reply to her was, "Today just like you", lol, I think shes gonna be just fine. Anyway, just wanted you to know.
Take care........................................God bless......................................Bob

Thats great news Bob. And youre right (as usual, starting to piss me off too - wanna fight? LOL). Thanks for letting me know. Liz trusts you. I'm glad you took out the time to let me know. and yes, I know who it is too, duh.
Love,

This is why I always loved reading your posts. I'm with you all the way on this cause I really did see Liz's pain...I am also understanding others feelings of how she kinda brought this on herself. It was almost as if she wanted it to happen. The sad part of it is, that I think she was just about to have a major breakthrough. I'm pretty sure the moods were from her withdrawl. She had just torn up a prescription! That was a huge step and the physical and mental anguish at the moment must have been TOUGH. But I'm not telling you something you don't know already! She was going cold turkey. She didn't mention that in her posts so until now I had kind of forgotten about it.
We can't do anything about it on this board, but we can appeal to a higher court and make sure we pray for Liz daily. That is the best thing we can do for her!!
She said she was not going to be talking to anyone for a while online, that she was going to only focus on her kids. I know she was certainly not the only person hurting here, but there was no hiding the fact that she was about to break, bless her aching heart.
Oh well, on to bed. Take care everyone and good night.
With much respect,
Clancy

Bob, Marie and Clancy:
I'm with you guys and will continue to speak with Liz. I'm glad you guys are there for her. It amazes me how some people, all of the sudden, with a new name, pop up to add their two cents. Pretty transparent and not on the lines of recovery. Rookie move. You're good people and I'm proud to know you.

Same here - I've been eating Halloween candy all night (yes, the bags that I told the kids to stay away from) - figured I'd be wired out from all the chocolate, but nope, tired again. This too shall pass. I cant wait to get my energy back.
Love you guys, YES ALL of you !!!! Is that so hard to believe? Have a great night everyone.

Mariee,
My story. my story is this. i am a 50 year old mom of 3 kids. two girls and one boy. mostly grown. i have been addicted to drugs in one form or the other most all my life and i wish that i had the courage to stop for longer than a few months at time but i dont. i have been clean for about 4 months and this site has been a great comfort to me in my effort to get clean and i am grateful.
I did not mean to imply that you are not a good person but to say that the others should be happy about the way this board had begun to be in was not fair. and i just wanted to call that to your attention. i have followed your recovery and i am glad that you are still in the game. i joined because it is time to come out of the shadow and be in the truth. i do want to be clean.
We are all in our own pain. i hope that the deep end of the pool doesnt drown me.
As for knowing who i am, Bob, i am sorry but i am afraid you dont. i wish that you did for i have really got alot out of your writing and teaching. i am curious, are you a councelor or some kind or a youth minister maybe?
I wish us all a speedy recovery and i am in here most eveings about this time as my job hour run bit out of the ordinary. so that is why i am just now posting from yesterday.
be kind to each other.
janice.
