Red face Apology

I owe every member of SoberRecovery an amends. Recently, a number of my posts and PM's have been inappropriate and disrespectful. I've been burned by some of my old behaviors. There's no excuse. I am ashamed of myself. I can no longer receive or send messages, so... you may not see me around too much. Best of luck to everyone on their journey to recovery.

I wish I could post this in the Al-anon forum. Al-anon meetings, over the past 7 months, have tought me a lot about myself. There's a lot of work ahead for me. Sometimes I even wonder if it's worth the effort.

Please forgive me. Thanks. You are worth it.

We can all learn from our mistakes, bed behaviors, wrong choices etc. What we do afterwards is our choice, choose to forgive yourself and heal.

Hey Midas----I must have missed your inappropriate and disrespectful posts, so all I can do here is suggest a wee li'll FYI for ya...

Yup, it appears you've lost your ability to send and/or receive 'messages,' but that appears to only reflect on your ability in 'PM' You still seem to have the ability to post and read the replies. Soooooooooooooooooooo, no reason to leave this site....it's a good place to both give and receive sggestions. .....and if it comes down to your not being able to reply to threads, you can always just come here and read.....still lotsa good stuff on here................

Of course I'll still come around and participate in the threads (as long as I don't screw that up too). I really have gotten a lot out of these boards. It's just not a pretty thing when dealing with the character defects that get drawn out in the process. I'm very grateful for the gracious admin's on this site that allow me to still be here.

I shouldn't complain (and honestly I'm not). But golly, I hardly ever got any PM's any way. LOL.

No idea what you're apologizing for either, but it must not have been that hellish if you're still postin here welcome back?

Amends are very important in recovery.

Personally, I've made several and I grow a little each time.

Thanks. It's not like you missed much. If I told you what it was about, I WOULD most likely get banned. Let's just say it was about an old embarrassment that came back and bit me in the arse.

:wtf2

If, I'm spiritually fit today, there's nothing you can post to upset me. If, I'm not, most everything I read will be irritating to me.

We can let the power of words upset us or, just look at them as words and someone's thoughts

I have to ask myself as I write something down, is it necessary? Is it based on experience from my past? Will it, be helpful to someone? Is, what I'm writing down a direct attack at them personally and not the post?

MIDAAAAS....

Aww....sheeesh. No more PM's huh? That's too bad.

Can't you send any profile messages?

Just for the record..our PM's were good. You have always respected me!

I can't view my own profile, let alone anyone else's, or even PM the Mods. But I can at least post in the open and non-restricted forums. Most of my troubles have been of my own making. And, I've been through a lot on this site over the past four years:

• I've banned myself (as a mod)
• I've been deleted and banned accidentally (by whom, I won't say)
• I got jilted for a third time by my ex-fiancee'.

Yes, you read correctly--unrequited love can be found even here on SR.

Life goes on.

I'm not sure what happened either, honestly, just let whatever it was go, put it behind you and move on. Find the gratitude in the lessons you learned and continue to share your ES&H with us.

God Bless,
Judy

Yep.

...And to quote one of my all-time favorite Gothic songs, O Fortuna;

nunc per ludum ::::: now through the game
dorsum nudum ::::: I turn my bare back to you
