Well, it goes like this.... I have no idea what you want to know nor is my short term memory totally back yet plus things are still blurry.

Also, to be honest , I'm sure you mean 12/12 is your birthday but a different year, because I there is something very different already. That is I really don't care about other peoples personal life but you seem to want to know about mine. I don't care about people I don't know.

There's no need for you to share anything you don't want to - folks are just trying to be friendly - this is a safe and welcoming community.

We're all good people

I'm saying people's personal lives that I don't know them personally I don't care to know. That's one reason I have a hard time in A.A. sitting... I don't care about others personal lives for the most part.... Unless they are sharing some sort if solution.

I meant same year... December 12th, 2014....

I care about people I don't know if they are alcoholics and addicts, because I identify with them. They get me, and they are struggling with the same issues as me.

Was just trying to be friendly, not force you to tell me things about yourself if you didn't want to.

Sorry :\

Ok, no problem, however...I don't care. People in A.A. could have helped me years ago...but I won't get into that besides A.A. members in my town share what you share with them one a one on one level so they started getting **** after I well confirmed they were. I care none of A.A. members personal problems and struggles. I'm just looking for recovery not there life history and baggage.

PrettyAngelDove, glad you are making the choice to be sober. The 24-hr check in threads have been helpful to keep me on track.

A bit harsh possibly, we're only people trying to be nice and maybe caring could help you understand and move on positively through life... there's levels of caring really.

That's only my opinion of ocurse.

Harsh to whom? About what? Just who are you talking to? Not once have I asked *anyone* to share with me about theirself. I can't be bullshitted. Asking for personal info. is strictly for judging purposes. Sorry.

I don't know... Let's see you go down as far as I did because of alcoholics and see if you march to that same tune. I mean now it's even major organs being threatened, like my brain for one, my stomche for 2.

PrettyAngelDove, I know it's a scary time and it's hard not to be defensive...but you're not going to get the best of this forum by pushing other posters away.

This is a peer support group - a community - if you don't want to be part of this community, thats your call but then I'm not sure what you want from us?

I don't care about others personal lives for the most part.... Unless they are sharing some sort if solution.
I can't really share my experience without revealing at least a little of myself and my backstory.

I'm not sure how we can really help you without knowing at least a little of yours.

Noone here knows who you are - so there's no reason for any of us to share anything you may post here

Give us a few days - I hope you'll see there's nothing to be defensive about

D

First off it is my first day here. You are right... Nobody knows me here (supposedly). If I approached you esp. on your first day and said "Tell me about yourself" are you really saying that you would say gladly?! I think *not*, but you would feel you were put on the spot.
