An Open Apology
It's been quite a journey here on SR for the past two years. I've shared a lot, and cared a lot. It still seems like a dream. We've lived through each other's joys and sorrows, felt each other's pain, and revelled in each other's laughter.
It's always so much better to share the positive things, instead of the destructive ones.
So it is with this message, I wish to apologize to all whom I've hurt because of my actions, either directly or indirectly.
I may stay, or I may go. I haven't decided yet. I'm sorry.

Thank you for showing an excellent recovery program at work.
It is so nice to see a fine example of recovery as a first post I read when I come here.
You have made my day.

(((Midas))) In my program, I am learning to make amends. I don't like 'em, but I recognize how difficult they are, and admire you for this.
I hope you don't go, you are one of the shiny ones... (((hugs)))

Apology accepted with nothing but grace, respect, and admiration for your inspiring posts.
When I registered on SR last Nov. it was good to see someone from my neck of the woods posting here, and I've always anticipated hearing what you have to share.
Thank you, Midas, I hope you choose to stay.
Oh Barry apology is accepted for whatever you feel you must apologize for.
Your recovery is showing through.
While you ponder your decision, please remember that you have helped many here and you are needed.

The balance is delicate
And it's not easy sometimes
I want to take what's wrong
And make it right
I get caught up in myself
with this crazy fight
No quicker have I judged myself
When I point the finger at someone else.
The accountability becomes a liability
If I put more importance on my self.
Words can often define a man,
but his actions speak more clearly.
And, if nothing more holds true,
the worst course of action a man can take,
is the course of no action at all.

You've many gifts still yet to give...
You are a gift yourself.
Please don't beat yourself up if you've made a mistake.
It only means you're human.
And we've ALL made them...
Yea, even me...
Shalom!

I think you hurt my feelings once. But guess what? It was
right....and you weren't the only one. But I learn from my ouches!
And if I can't learn or take my ouches!
Then I do not have the kind of recovery in me to take me
the rest of the journey...I consider you a great friend..
Please don't go unless you must for YOUR own sake....
Love, (HUG)
