i do and i really mean it when i do talk to peeps on sr,, but sometimes i just get so much stick for it!!! ( only a minority i must add)
im a nice person, im caring and sharing and recently, i just got kicked in the teeth,, big style!
im on my day ? ive stopped counting now,, its still very early days but i feel so positive and confident,, ive stopped on purpose,, cos another day,, is another day.
im doing real good, and yeh i am chuffed,, so is my hubby, and my kids,, and my extended family too, so why not? we are here to share the good too right?
i guess ive just got caught up in a bit of the ole "negativity" that i just dont have at the mo,,, so is that bad? no , of course it isnt, and i aint letting it change my path, my way, my happy and sober future,, no way,,
but i just got a bit poooood off with this,,
im only trying to share some of my positive vibe , just thought it may help others, didnt think it might p them off!!!

so,,, sorry for the ,,, negative post,, haha i am, and i aint gonna let it get me down,,
come one and all,,, im here ,, if you need me,, but at least say hi,, or thankyou!!

Feel free to put anyone on Ignore if you don't want to see their posts.

Not sure what you're referring to, Cleo - but I'm sorry if your feelings were hurt. I'm glad you're feeling positive and confident - that's wonderful.

Hi Cleopatra1,

I remember early in sobriety I was so incredibly sensitive to any perceived critisism. When I look back I only wanted to read100 percent supportive posts that fully agreed with me. I still dont like critisism but I can listen to constructive advice if presented in a loving caring manner.
I post less now as I have a greater personal understanding of alcoholism and the more I know the less advice I have.
You are doing great.

Love
CaiHong

I got called a "wanna-be moderator" the other day.
You can't win 'em all Cleo!
Keep up the fine work.
I read your first posts and know what pain you were in, so to see you happy, is lovely.

I got called a 'dumbass', so there's that, too. Cleo, full speed ahead and darn the torpedoes.

hypochondriac

I've only read a few of your posts before now Cleo but they made me smile We could all do with more of that x

I have had my ass kicked but we move on. It it is all about the same trip. Just take care

Cleo keep being who you are and if people don't like it then just don't pay them any attention.

The disease we are all dealing with is extremely serious and sometimes I think we forget that it is okay pat ourselves on the back or just be happy. Sometimes when I am feeling to happy/taking things lightly I get afraid I'll slip up.

I'm happy that in the midst of all the craziness that comes with this disease that you
haven't lost the ability to be happy, nice, and light hearted. Hold on to that because when tough days hit you'll need it

Ive been called a dry drunk. A high bottom drunk, and many other negative rude descriptives, both on the boards and ive been *educated* via PMs. It's just tunnel vision,childish fear and silly.
Some people need to pee-pee inyour cheerios to feel important.
believe in your happiness, thats all that matters.

awwww, thanks guys and gals,, and no ,, im not letting "it" get to me,, no one can stop me from my positiveness, im full speed ahead, and im on day 11 now,, still feel mighty fine,,
i must add tho,, it wasnt a critisism to me,, rather than a "rant" at what help and advice id offered,, they just couldnt take it,, so i know its nothing personell directed at me,, its just a ,, well ,, a "thing" ,, hahaha
so, here on a very gloomy monday in uk,,, but heres to a sunshine in me x

I find others trying to still my joy from time to
time, however, im sticking to NOT allowing anyone
to still my joy. Whatever is going on with them is
their STUFF and not mine. Soooooo not blaming
myself for their moods of that day is healthier and
positive for my own recovery.

Stay true and strong to yourself and honest and
happy in your own recovery and your foundation
in sobriety will be tough to crumble under your
feet each day you remain sober or clean.

Remember.....Don't Let Anyone Still Your Joy..!
