Thanks Joe. It takes a lot of courage, strength, and integrity to appologize.

I realize that some threads may at times appear to be on the hostile side even if it is in a subtle manner. One thing to keep in mind when reading threads is that many of the topics presented can be triggers or sore spots for some of those reading them. For me a trigger is someone stating that taking medication is sobriety means they are not sober. I have my personal reasons for that and am working on responding to those posts in a less hostile manner as I realize my responses can at time has that subtle bite to them. It is many times hard to convey what a person means in this type of format. We can not see facial or body expressions that might otherwise give us indications of what the persons true intent it by what they are saying. If you read many of my posts where I have an issue with the OP's opinion you will see that I post my response to the thread and then rarely come back to state my opinion further that way I avoid running into an arguement type situation. I just let my opinion stand on its own merit.

Hang in there. I have found a lot of experience, strength, and hope in these forums. Some times I have to take what I can use and leave the rest. Glad to see you did not leave.
