All Saints Day -- Open Apology to the Masses

Dear Friends,

I wanted to take a moment to make amends. Many of you may not know me, and some may remember me. I stepped on a few toes a while back, and I need to apologize. I was a real jerk. My best alcoholic mind got me where I am today. Go figure. Could somebody please hand me a broom? I need to clean up my side of the street now. I've grown a lot, spiritually, over the past several months. Even if I'm not allowed to stay on the forums, I at least need to get this off of my chest before it burns a hole in my soul.

Carol, Nightingale (AMB), Nogard, Vic, 51Anna, et al...

I'm sorry.

Thanks Everyone,

~Barry H.

It's a program of progress, not perfection after all. We're not saints. Ironic that I chose yesterday to come back.

Hmmmmn...I don't recall that mine were any of the toes you stepped on...but, I would forgive you anyway. Nevertheless, it's good to see you!

It's so refreshing to me to see someone come back and then watch the group open arms right back up. I don't know you....but I can appreciate the taste of humble pie...Lord knows I've eaten enough of it myself. Stick around and save your life and help save someone else's...
