Take the strong suggestion of folks who say "No major changes (and that includes relationships) for the first year. Take the advice of one who thought she was too mature and experienced in ways of the world (and heart)...and, thumbed her nose at those well-meaning Oldtimers! Big, Big Mistake!!!

Did you just make that up or did you read it somewhere?

If you made it up, it's quite good; you've got a talent.

Thank-you very much I started to feel like I was about to get attacked but I’m not full of CRAP (Carrying Resentments Against People). CRAP do you get it? Carrying Resentments Against People?

Maybe you need the OTHER AA - Acronyms Anonymous! LOL! I am with RK - if you are making these up, they are really good! Anything specific you are looking for here at SR? (I know, I know, I am probably setting myself up for an acronym answer, but...let's at least see what it is!)

Its the truth I'm not here to offend anyone, I often do but I'm just here to stay sober and pass on whats been so freely passed on to me. Often you dont want what I have and thats ok most people dont you understand I have to try
