Toomutch

I don't want you all to think I'm a bi!chy Queen, for never using my Thank You button. I would... but it dosn't work.

Toomutch

Well, that didn't take long for Rowan to snatch that up!!!

Hello Rowan

Hi Guys, just a quick Hello. I'm going to a family birthday party soon. I don't feel like going. I feel like a whiney baby today. LOL Plus stressed. Too much crap going on the past couple of days. I need peace.

IO- Yes, I can get mad. I have an awful temper. I guess I never told you guys before. LOL

Stone- Glad to see you posting. I do love you and care about you. Take care of yourself.

Rowan

Hi Toomutch - Hi Barb

Hope y'all have a great day. Hope the family bday party isn't too painful Barb.

Not yet!

I get to a Queen baby too...so many of those traits.

I call them defects. I have many.

Stoney..

I haven't forgotten what it's like being green. By far. And I don't think it is enabling

to not preach. That won't help. I know this from Alanon.

What I do know is this..if I am to stay on here..on SR, and share with any other

newcomer, on any other forum..and offer support..then I have to stop and look

at how I speak to you. Just because I know you and love you, does that mean

I can speak to you harshly..because of my feelings?

Because I'm scared and frustrated?

God forbid.

And if I should fall..or any of us..(God forbid), my hope and restraint is that

nothing but support will come from me or others.

I can't judge.

I am not God.

I apologize for ever being mean to you (Paul)..if I have.

IO Storm

P.S.

I am not speaking for anyone else..please friends..don't take offense.

I've thought and prayed about this.

It is my stuff. And my amends.

I just don't think I could bear it, if I relapsed, and ....

IO Storm

Go for it, techno wizard!

I got the Wii and the Wii fit. Hubby is boxing as I type.

I like it but the fuker called me OBESE!

Hi everyone, Sher no-one owes me an ammends, especially not you. I felt ganged up on again but really that is due to my mental state post-drinking. If anyone needed an ass-kicking (tough love) it was me...I just can't take anymore! LOL
I think it is fair enough of me to say "I have got the point please stop now", just like what people said to me was fair enough.

Thanks Gyps for saying you were gonna try to stop.

Ro, yep I just can't seem to make these breaks stick! It is healthy for me to spend less time on the puter anyway so I have been cutting down the time I am spending on it...just can't take actual breaks from this place...I do love you all, you are all good friends :ghug

stone

Tan, I heard that the Wii was insulting people, lol.

I guess if IOs one pole I'm another LOL.

I can't see where not saying anything is helping you, Paul.
It's not remotely tough love - it's taking you to account for your actions....

Adults everywhere have to wear that responsibility....why should you be any different?

You said to me last week 'meetings don't stop me drinking - I stop me drinking'.

Well - you don't.
And that's what you need to work on.

It's not easy not to drink - we all deal with a lot of pain, a lot of problems ...
the thought of a drink is sometimes pretty overpowering, even now, for me...but I reach out when I need to, even tho I HATE doing it, I recognise that I sometimes can be wrong, and I listen to other people...

I'm not trying to start anything, I'm not saying I'm better than you, I don't forget what it's like - I was there every fkn day for 15 years - you don't forget that.

I'm just saying it's not easy, but it *is* simple - never ever raise the glass to your lips.
Reach out, accept help, do anything but don;t drink. Forget your pride - it's not a weakness, it's not a defeat...it's a strength to ask for help.

Act, don't react.

It's how we win this war.

I got no sleep, I'm not going to the city - I'm going back to bed
night all

Dee, when I said that I meant when I quit for 6 months it was me not meetings that did it, it is always down to an internal change in the person-not outside stuff. You can go to all the rehabs and meetings in the world but if nothing changes inside you then you will drink.

Today is a new day, I am sober and intend to stay that way. Don't start lecturing me for a drink I haven't even had yet. And please lets leave my past failures in the past now.

Sometimes support can be just being a firend, you don't always have to read the gospel of Dee's Truths at me.

LOL you really are indefatigable.

As long as you're gonna make everything I say into a sermon (it wasn't), and as long as you're always right and I'm always wrong, there's no point in me being in this thread Paul.
