HI Tim,
I too felt honored that you would share something so personal on Thanksgiving. I've said more then I'm comfortable about my family/life/past on here a time or two as well. Please know that all who read it felt really great that you included us as the family you care about. I hope there comes a time you'll reconsider not coming back here anymore. You know, you apologized sincerely like a man in recovery. People say things in anger and hurt they so wish they hadn't said. It happens all the time. Now please try to move beyond it and forgive yourself. We love and need you here. You're our family as well. Please take good care Tim. Beck

I Felt sick to my stomach reading this, I don't know what happened, but I can guess it must have been pretty bad for you, of all people to want to leave....& I'm disgusted that someone would have bashed you for ANYTHING!!
Tim, I don't know where I would be today without you, In a brotherly kind of way, I felt like you took me by the hand & led me out of insanity...You saw me through W/D & so much BS........every morning, Your's was the 1st post I would look for, as a newcomer I knew that you were for real, at a time when I didn't know who or what to trust!!
This is terribly sad to read, even on Thanksgiving, when you shared about family, you helped me then too, I too, have family that would cross the street if they saw me coming & no matter how hard we try to say it doesn't matter, It still hurts......I too, was honored that you would share that part of your life with us.......Again, undoubtetly you helped a lot of people....as you alway's do.
It is a sad day for this board to lose someone like you......many people have been helped because of your wise words & caring.
I am honored to know you, & am so glad that your my friend & I will most definatly keep in touch with you, It's a damm shame that so many people will NOT get to know you, all because someone else was hurtful.
We love you Tim!

Tim posts an apology and then turns around and makes sure that everyone knows what I said, but not what he said. Wendy has done the same thing. It's amazing how we can make ourselves look innocent.
Just so you all know, I was also hurt by vicious words and slurs against women. What I said was in retaliation. It was dirty fighting and I'm ashamed of myself for it. I apologized to the board and now with Tim's apology hoped that it's the end of it. Of course when Gina felt it necessary to bump up his post, it made it a little hard for everyone to move on. Subtle.
No one is innocent in this. I've apologized for my part, how about the rest of you.

Never argue with an idiot, he'll bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.
If it does not apply let it fly.
WOW I have been reading this forum since oct 25th.
Same people same garbage. I am not perfect as I did lay into Jean but you know what I WAS RIGHT--LOL she is just one sick person who starts $hit and you all respond. Me to. Never again.
""""Never argue with an idiot, he'll bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.

I find it sad when I start a thread what are we grateful for. I have been told I should do this daily but $hit especially before thanksgiving.
What is sad is not that 10 people responded but what is $ucked up is only 94 people looked at it.
Punch in Jean and each thread has hundreds of people reading it.
Most people lurking here are in it for the soap opera and not recovery.
I choose to help people and stay away from the B.S. There is obviously a lot of people who are not working there program.
Addiction and recovery is not easy. I know why I am here. I owe it to the newcomer. THAT IS IT.
YOU PEOPLE should hear that. Its forthe newcomer. Not all your B.S. Tim I do not know why your leaving but all the best.
All you people fighting like idiots do you not realize that you are scaring people away who need help. guess after 6 12-18 months you all become counselors?
Let me clue you in Clean time ?? Its all about today and your actions.
Hypocrites and diseased as people say they are working a program. This is not working a program. Look at the board for the past month.
Wake up evreybody and start helping the newcomer and leave your B.S at the door.
GEEZ

I honestly don't know what the hell happened, but whatever it was it must have been bad for Tim to want to leave!
I too, have been involved in some heated topic's & have thought about leaving myself........but rather than do that, I just decided to make a concious effort to keep strong opinions to myself If they might be hurtful! They serve no purpose & cause hard feelings
You know what they say.......opinions are like @ssholes...everyone has one!!

Stop smoking? Same as Me giving up coffee or drugs. When something becomes so toxic to my well being I say ENOUGH JUST STOP you will feel like $hit for 3-5 days and be quite irratible for a month or so but it gets better fast. You can do it if you want to.

hey Terruanne,
Good morning,
my oh my what did I miss?? I am glad I did though, this board helped me in the beginning but then drug me down bad, so I left.. I came back to see it going on again. Gee it is so easy to just turn the puter off and enjoy life away from here...............
As for stop smoking...it has been a month now since I had a cig. once I got off the methadone the cravings for gigs left a week or so later.....so nice not to want to buy them or smell like a cig anymore............besides its to darn cold to be outside smoking...
Take care,
I so hate to see newbies turn away from the help they need from this board, but with all the drama I don't blame them.nothing but toxic at a time when they are in so much need of help and encouragement...
