Lightbulb Knockers

I am reminded this morning that SR is a forum for recovery and support, so that if I don't agree with someone or if I don't agree with their method of recovery then rather than poke fun or bash them or their recovery better to say nothing.

There are many ways to recover as far as I am concerned they are all equally valid.

So lets celebrate recovery not growl

Kevin

Chiy posted this elsewhere. I wholeheartedly agree.


I Believe...

That just because two people argue,
it doesn't mean they don't love each other.

And just because they don't argue,
it doesn't mean they do love each other.

I get a lot out of the discussion here - even the stuff I don't agree with.

There's always gonna be disagreements and differing opinions - that's life - in or out of recovery.

Sometimes maybe we need to growl - s'ok - as long as you're prepared for the growl back LOL

But I think we do pretty well here

Well that depends on what your talking about, knocking and gossip is destructive and I want no part of it.

Did you read my post Dee? I am not suggesting otherwise, of course I think SR is great and I faith in us and yes I get that we don't have to like everyone.

LOL I read your post Kev. It's not big on details mate.

I'm not here for an argument - however much you seem to want one.

Have a nice day

Kev-I read the post.I'm guessing here(and if I'm wrong-forgive me) that you're pretty upset about something.I'm not sure-but you sound pretty angry and whatever it might be about?I'm just sorry you're not happy.

Of course-if I'm wrong here?You have my permission to kick me in the knees

Hope you're ok anyway,

Love, Julesxox

not looking for a fight Dee, am surprised at the responses though. You seem to be enjoying it way to much. Laughter at someone else expense.

All from me in here.

Kevin
