If you've found it-well good for you.But I'll always say it was perhaps the 'best' for you-not necessarily everyone else.
I don't tend to speak for everyone else.

What we can control and what we can't! We cannot control other peoples thoughts or what they say!
I would question my recovery if I let it bother me. I would also have to question my Spirituality. I was under the impression that early in recovery we established what God's role was and what my role was.
I am powerless over other peoples thoughts and what they say. That's Gods job, not mine.
Especially on an Internet Discussion Board.

I actually agree with you in this case Pink-LOL 
There's always gossip/stuff that goes on here-upfront or behind the scenes.I think we've all been victims of it at one point or another.I just had to let it go and focus on the good here.
There are people here who took the time to seek me out when I was upset-even when I disappeared once for a few months.They never gave up on me and the interesting thing was?The ones I thought really cared?Obviously didn't and while that hurt at the time?I moved on.I'll always be polite to them now but I won't get close to them again either.It's disappointing but very often, humans are.
I know who my friends are here now.
Some hung in with me and I'll always be grateful.
But people are people and that's okay.
I'll just focus on my side of the street as much as i can.

You know, I do have an extensive vocabulary, but sometimes?
If the shoe fits....
What I (can) say is the thread began with an implied gripe without
an explanation. And this always ..always triggers a flurry of controversy.
The thread addressed the issue of "bashing".
We alcoholics and addicts will naturally begin to surmise what the
heck it is all about when we see something like this.
I did. I wondered if I had said something and searched posts..
(Oh, come on...I am not the only one!)
This is the nature of ambiguity..and drama.
There is nothing wrong with a healthy discussion among fellows.
But, no...it's not about me.
And as I posted on another thread..my fave Junior High School English
teach drilled into our speech class..
"Say what you mean, mean what you say, in as few words possible."
Peace
