Anna had a point - some things are best left to PM....I forgot that myself this morning. Bickering and drama have no place in my idea of Living in Sobriety. Everyone take a deep breath. Now I really think it's time to move on. D

Least, in keeping with my program I am making an amends to you for the way I posted about you and your recovery. You are working your program and I should not be telling you how to work it. I have enough with my own recovery. I also owe everyone else posting on this thread an apology for bringing it to what it became. This thread was started as a positive Living in Sobriety thread and I hope that it will get back on track and remain positive. I know that all who post here help me with my recovery and I hope that I can continue to help all of you the same way. I am grateful for all of you I have come to know and care deeply about here on SR.

Just now able to get to the computer. Believe, I accept your amends and offer my own for failing to realize that you have your own things in life and could be going thru your own hard times. I should have been more understanding.  We have two more members of the family here for a bit. Daughter and baby are staying until some issues can be resolved diplomatically and fairly. I'm glad I'm sober cause I couldn't deal with this drunk. I like living in sobriety better. Less pain this way. I am trying to teach her to let baby cry himself to sleep as long as the monitor's on and you can hear him. Maybe if he learns to put himself to sleep they will all get more sleepand his periods of crying will lessen.

(...) it is a dopey smile... I got it from someone special here a long time ago. She didn't make it. It makes me that much more thankful for everyone here, on SR. Grateful tonight for everyone LIS. Beautiful post, Donna.  And Least I'll see everyone around..maybe not as much, maybe, I need to step back. I've been touchy, and..if I cannot be helpful, it's best to say nothing. Very proud of everyone's sobriety, and humbled by the love expressed here.

I hope you don't stay away too long Nelco, I like you a lot and enjoy our banter. Your wisdom has helped me often, as well. Although I know what you mean....I sometimes feel the same way, not just about any particular thread (like this one or "Serious" or "Bottoms") but about the whole forum. I always end up coming back after a break though. Recently I have actually cut down my time here on SR quite a lot so that I spend more time in the real-world away from the computer. I think I need to cut down more.

I've taken periodic 'breaks' myself from the forum. It's good for me. I've learned the hard way not to let emotionalism get in the way of things - hesitate and meditate and all that. Wow I think my meds are working.

Yea, it is easy to get carried away emotionally on forums for some reason. I am sure if we were all together face to face there would be less problems, eye contact and stuff are important in not taking things the wrong way etc. Even the 12 step forum might be less argumentative!

Hey My Friends! Hubby and I are still off in Wonderland with a miniscule laptop, making for difficult reading and posting, but I wanted to check in...welll...becasue I've missed you all. I think that everyone would agree (?) that this thread could be subtitled "Living in the Solution". Each of us has had our challenges: Ro's medication, Bee's son and job search, Least's kids, Nel'sBell's chicks, Stoney's mood changes and IQ's mum and sis, to name ONLY a few. We have fced these obstacles, asked for input, considered our own circumstances and shared our individual solutions. Like the weeding that seeems to plague many of us, each of us has gone about coping in differentways. Some start with the tall weeds, some the small ones, but thend result is the same: we have accomplished our goal. I for one, have benefitted enormously from SR in general, as well as this thread in particular,becasue you have all taught me that there are MANY ways to approach a problem and just as many viable solutions. The key is that I activelyseek the solution, rather than avoid or wallow in the problem. Just as important as the serious stuff,I also value the banter. It makes me feel NORMAL and able to laugh at myself. In the "real" world, I often feel different, so feeling normal and safe here is vital to my wellbeing. Please, i beg each of you, let's not let this thread die. It's MY knee jerk reaction, as an alcoholic, to shrink from conflict and even avoid resolution (so I can comfort myself with resentment). But that's he point after all, isn't it? Learning to live with and manage conflict,accept differences,value honesty and be honest ourselves and to humbly embrace our teachability. So, my friends, can we do this here, too as well as in the rest of our lives? You are too valuable to me to lose.... lizzy  |
