Thats Harsh

I was just told that I am using and a liar. Thats a bit harsh. I have been clean for 42 weeks. I am grateful and proud. I can be the bigger person and say that I forgive, but for someone to berade a newcomer and acuse them of using is a bit hurtful. I made a post and I erased it right away, it was very hurtful and wrong, that is why I erased it.
Just because I think the other person is a lyer and I do not agree, doesnt mean they are using. Thats twisted. That mindset is calous and cold hearted. I wihs it were so that many on this site were in recovery rather than JUST NOT USING. There is more to quiting pills than quiting pill.
That was just plain hurtful! OUCH!

Just wanted to pose another question as my comparitivley mediocer use is in question. Do heroin addicts ever OD? Do you in the field no why? I will tell you and you can verify through other sites. They get clean for awhile and make a decision to pick up. They fix at the same level they left off at, they die. They didnt die at the level they left off at, in fact there former level was not working anymore. If I picked up where I left off at, yes I would die more than likeley.
I dont compare my use to others. I know that mine 'was not that bad', where as others are SICK! Usining my use a gauge to judge another person makes an aA** out of me and of them.

You are right and that was shocking to read someone accuse you of that....

You have to always consider the source though love....


i didnt find what you said hurtful, unless I read it wrong...i justheard you state that many in the medical proffesion have NO IDEA what us addicts consume, that we take doses that would kill the average person..

Jonathons website has a cover letter that states the exact same thing.

Its not meant to insult anyone......

Kysharon, has a mean streak, Ive seen it often and ive been the target myself.


Its too bad because it is not a good face for sobriety. Sorry Sharon, but dont think youd get the job as a Sobriety Good Will Ambassador..lololol


Ben, relax honey, those who know you and are used to your posts, know how hard you have worked, and how much you love the program, and want to share your success.

KySharon...give your head a shake.

That was UN CALLED FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs to you Ben

Thank you Ali, LOL I have it from here. That post I erased WAS mean spirited no less and that is why I erased it. I thought I got it right away!
Sharon,
Actually denial is what kills people. To flat out tell someone they are lying is disrespectful as you did to me over my comparitivley minor drug use. I am now minimizing my use so as not to be called a liar. I think its best to agree to disagree on this one. If someone pops on this board and sees someone post about how they tokk X number of this, at such a high number, they know it can kill. For someone to log on a recovery site and see "this guy used what I used at the same level" he got clean, it is possible. That Is more beneficial than denying the problem exists. I doubt even the sickest would come on here and say Im gonna do that much...Actually you are probably right as I type this I realize that. Sp eiether way ya go, there are both pros and cons.
I respect you and I understand your frustration. You obviously read my post before I erased. I am sorry. I dont wish to hurt anyone as you hurt me. I know I provoked you into saying hurtfull things to me. I am no innocent, but c'mon, accuse me of using? I can hardly dignify the comment with a reply.
Agree to disagree?
Ben
Ben,

You wrote quite a nasty and condesending post to me. I responded in kind. You erased your post, I was not given time to do the same. So you want to be the injured one here........go ahead.

I don't understand why you are arguing with the points Amy and I made in our first posts anyway. Do you not find them valid? I supported you when you first came here and p/o everyone by pretending to be someone else. I thought you were sincere in your apology thread and wanted to give you another chance.

I know that I should have turned the computer off hours ago. I apologize to the board for that.

Sharon
No, I take responsibility for what I wrote. I can do that, others cannot. You did have valid points. My post was filled with my ESH and personal info as to my use. The next thing I know Im being called a liar. I have only been clean for 10 months. I am not well versed in dealing with issues that arise in recovery. Someone with two years would be better equiped to go around and point fingers calling people liars and active addicts. I forgive ya. I never said there were not valid points did I? I thought they were right on target. what got me going was being called a liar to my screen. I know that if we were f2f that would not have happened.
Ben
LOL you are too funny Alicrap.

I shook my head at your post, didn't help, its still ignorant.

I read Ben's entire post, don't think you can read that fast.

Anyhoo, you are entertaining. Maybe we should see who could win the Good Will Ambassordor position or whatever crazy thing you said. Talk about mean streaks, hon I can't hold a candle to you.

Your eyes are crossing by the looks of your pic, take another break. For Goodness sake this cannot be good for your W/D's and your tremors. I promise I won't write anything else about while you are gone.....


Ben,

Still wanting to continue this, lol. How many times have you inferred that me and Amy are liars today? How many times have you called other people liars since you joined here? How about the lies in the posts under other names you used when you first came here?

Go ride off on your white horse.
no no really i am going after this LOL

To add to the oh so eloquent "stacey" post...

Making fun of someone's name... that also is something that gets me. ANd drum roll please... the biggest thing that pisses me off about someone who is recovered, but has the audasity to after they have insulted and hurt, pretend like they actually give a damn about your withdrawls. I can hear the frigid bitterness in your type.LOL

Good luck with f2f friendships.

Ben has a good point. You wouldnt call people liars and insult them at face to face meetings would you??

You are obviously finding comfort behind the screen here.

If we were face to face...You wouldnt dare call ME THAT

Itd be the last thing you remebered before you hit the floor.


Ali.
