Lmao! I can't wait until she.....sees this!
Well, it just hit a spot and i usally will not defend others in battles.But,its something i do at time for instance even if i dont know how to spell it .Im just in a hurry and just go back to reread my post .I dont kiss anyone a** on here and i take what i can and im leaveing the rest.I have friends here as well.And i dont take side to help defend anyone .Unless i see things like what has been happing to jean lately.I must of missed something the past day or so.I read a week ago with cowgirl and jean.i dont and didnt get in it.But, it was between them and shouldnt of been brought here on a recovery board.If they were fussing and had problems with eachother.then it was brought back here ,many people came to cowgirls defenes.When we didnt know what was going on with them and the emails .Alot of people got in it and i seen jean had got knot down.I will leave this one alone.I guess i took it wrong the post i dont not even read post with words not spelled right.uh.We need to close this post out and look at the others crying out for help.Jean,is asking for help and this turn out all wrong.if we could of helped her with what she was asking nicely if not ,then it should of been lefted alone.I seen last week about them saying this is my post told eachother you not to post under it.Now,its jeans post she wants to know if she can keep getting the help she needs or try to help others.She has alot going on in her life for what ive read and she is scared she is going to relapes again.We should let other that are postive post to her about staying and keeping herself from useing.Sorry if i took it all wrong like i said ,take care crystal
Jean,I dont know you but,you gotta get over all this nonsence .Just keep posting and you can email me anytime.I pray for all ,addicts nightly no matter who it is.i wouldnt want to be the one to make someone fall .i dont wish addiction of my worst ememy.Even though i dont have any.i get mad at time at people and have been sh**ed on so many times.i may not talk or allow these people on my land or in my home but,i still care and pray for them.My sister and law i would say she is on my not talking list.But, she lies so so much .But, just b/c we dont speak dont mean i dont care about her.Hell,she tells stuff like she went to a furnel and the dead body just sit right up in the casket or you can hear what the person has told her and she will come back and tell it all different.Then,that person will say no i dont belive it.She will say crystal or whoever was there didnt so and so say this.i tell her no i must of missed that part.Whats that called when a person lies so so much?.I think she needs help for it..but,sometime i belive she tells so much she belives her own self.Ok ive turn it out to be something else sorry trying to make a point.Hope you got it.Love you ,crystal

IMO i think the anger comes from being passionate about our recoveries.Lets face it,its our very lives.If something is working well for us,we want to tell everybody about it. I read a very interesting book(in fact ive read it twice)called.. Maximum Achievement by: Brian Tracy,and he says,If you want to be successfull,learn from successfull people,if you want to kick drugs,lose weight,make money,etc...find others who have achieved these things and learn from them,for they are the ones who KNOW. Well,we have alot of people here that are working hard at getting their lives togehter,and we all just want to share whats working for us,its hard not to become passionate about that.Sometimes that leads to an over abundance of passion and before you know it,people are being hurt.Sad,but true.But i believe people are good and eventually things will and do blow over.Respect is the answer,we must all respect each others ways,but never give up telling about the WAY its working for us.Thats how we all learn.I personally didnt think meetings were for me,im finding out now,i might have been wrong?
In regards to peoples writing and length of posts,i read them all.Becasue somebody cant spell or has bad puncutation,well,i just believe i would be missing out on ALOT if i skipped over those peoples views.And i know my posts can get quite lengthy too,i hope people dont skip over them,that would truly make me feel left out,unimportant.And thats all any of us want,to belong,to be accepted,to learn from one another.Thanks for listening,hope you managed to read til the end,lol~KIM

Hey Kat, I am the guilty of the ......... the reason I do ..... is an odd one.... I am thinking of what I am trying to say next and I just type.... as I am thinking. I suppose its the equivalent to studdering ..just with a keyboard.. Sorry Gina you should have told me.

Crystal,
I'm sorry you took my flip comment personally... I started off life as an English major... I'm an idiot savant about spelling... I'm almost incapable of spelling most words incorrectly and the sight of one strikes me the way a sour note does a musician...But that's an issue that belongs to me, not you...
I'm sure that many people have peeves about my posts... the unforgiveable length of some of them... my 25 cent vocabulary... I know I sometimes sound like Niles and Frasier Cranes' adopted Chinese sister, lol... So I skim the posts with my pet peeves in them and I expect many, many people skim mine... I don't take that to heart... This is a public forum and I don't read every post... I certainly wasn't thinking of you when I made mine...
If you get to know me better, you'll see I don't take sides. I'm friendly with almost everyone on this board though of course, as in life, there are a couple of folks with whom I have a better chemistry. I was neither attacking nor defending Jean with my post -- ask her yourself.
And for the record...I only kiss my husband's @$$ and only in the privacy of my own bedroom, LOL.
Love ya,
Gina
Kat, Amy, Tom,
LMFAO...

Thanks to all of you for your responses. This turned out to be a positive thread and I learned a lot about myself and this board.
I am going to try and stop taking things personally. Funny, someone said that e'one's not going to like me - until I was probably married, I couldn't understand if someone didn't like me. I feel I have gotten over that but I'm sure some of what we were when we were young is still there.
I have made toxic post but my plan (I hate to say "I promise") b/c I do not want to break a promise- anyway, I plan on as they say "if I don't have anything good to say, keeping quiet" I will still say what I mean and believe but I will not be in attack mode. I have decided that I don't know what's going on in others' lives just like no one know what's going on in mine. We all have secrets and I feel e'one has their own demons so I shouldn't make then feel worse with a mean post.
If I get one, I plan on ignoring it, I have always had self control but I'm sure some on the board wouldn't believe that right now.
Thanks, I hope e'one keeps posting.
Someone did say it, I can make this board what it was for me.
Oh and Crystal, we haven't gotten to talk. Email me anytime - anyone.
I love emails - blink17172@cs.com
This post is not as long, I know some don't like but this is me and I post what I have to say.
Love to all,
Jean

jean,
we just lead by example and put the past behind. when it tries to come back to haunt us before posting. what i find helps works is email a friend first. vent or express your feelings there and ask what they think. its best to ask a neutral friend and my email is always open. trust me it feels better to take the mature road then it does saying stuff you have to regret and ask for forgiveness later.and again its all learning and growing. your doing great and you are proving your shining growth.

Thanks Terri:
I am going to work on me and ask for help when I need it, b/c I have received so much help before from this board but will only post if I feel someone is asking or needs a post from me.
Loveyou,
Mom Jean

Crystal,
I just read again and your sister sounds like my Mother was - telling stories - she had the 5 of us scared to death sometimes when we were little.One thing she told us was that she would die at age 38 (I would have only been 8) b/c her Mother died and she was the oldest daughter and she went back about 5 generations - she lived to be 79. My sister got into geneology and went way back and none had died at 38.
Even now, we have all talked about this - everytime a DR asked us for our family medical history, we almost laugh.
If it were in any way true, it would not be funny but she had 3 heart attacks, 2 brain tumors and a miscarriage about 5 years after a complete hysterectomy. Oh, and she never went to the DR or hspital with any of these problems. She just happened to have them when she was upset with us or Daddy. haha
She's gone now and I know maybe just here where I live "they say" we shouldn't talk about the dead but I think she would even get a kick out of it now.
Oh, and Gina, I know what you meant, you have never offended me, I am the one emailing you my books - I have wondered if you regretted the day you said you enjoyed my long post - haha
Love to all,
Jean

Soccermom, good thing you said ' almost incapable'.... (unforgiveable)
I am terrible with grammar and spelling, thank god for Microsoft Word.

LOLOLOLOL
Brook,
I said I was an IDIOT savant... I didnt say I was perfect... There are some words that I routinely misspell... Like heaven... Heavan? Occasionally? Ocassionally? Judgemental? Judgmental. Refrigerator. Forgivable doesnt look right to me... Forgiveable...
How about the unconscionable length of my posts? LMAO, Give me a break. English isn't my first language.
And since I have the greatest difficulty with including e's or not at the end of words, how to you spell your own name? Is it Brook or Brooke? Don't confuse me, please, lol. You signed off your post "Brook" but it's spelled with an "e" in your account.
Cheers,
Gina

Good Lord Gina, please do not take that seriously...
Brook was already taken, so I had to add an E to the end of it.. give me a break.. LOL kidding...
Hell, because of you and I think Rachel or Ky can't recall now, I have learned some new words. Take it as a compliment.

Are either of you familiar with the word plethargy?
Amy says it's a word and I have learned never to bet against her. She owns my home now, lol.
Love, Kat

Kat,
I'm shure if Amy says its so the word exists, lol she'd never lye to you. Wat dose it mean? A plethora of lethargy? How much did you loose on this bet?
I here there's a Gambler's Annonimouse...

Okay, I understand why you're scared of losing more money to Amy, but before we get clobbered for playfully hijacking another thread... I just wanted to go back to the original topic...but turn it around a little...
Why are you NOT angry? You've been through some major difficulties recently and yet you're cheerful, you're not defensive, or overly-sensitive. How do you do it?
Love,
Gine

I was scared of you, Gine, lmao. It was like another personality took over the Gina I know and love.
I see that same trait in you, btw.
I'm happy. I don't dwell on what is bad or what I don't have. I think part of it is acceptance and part is making a choice. What could be better than being in recovery?
Jeez, I thought I was doomed for life or would die prematurely.
Now I can look at everything with open eyes. I notice the seasons changing more than I ever did before. I'm not ashamed of myself before my children. I don't have to lie and sneak to keep my habit going. Life is good.
Don't you just love it?
Love you, Kat
