I have never posted anything so severe before, I have actually been where you are as have many others.........the ONLY thing that got me through was someone TELLING ME to wake up to myself and that gave me a serious reality check ........I started thinking about all the people I would be hurting if I went through with my suicide attemp.....which I assure you I was serious about.

YOU are beautiful and cherished and loved .............believe it or not I was trying to help to meke you stop and think................

Again I apologise to you TPB and everyone I offended

Hi Basi

I wondered if you werent trying some tough love tactics, they just came out very harsh in black and white...

Thanks for speaking up, Basi. Sometimes our words come out other than intended in writing. I respect your courage and your heart.

hugs,

Basi

Tough Love is not always welcome I know and maybe I should have been a little clearer in on my intentions .........but I sincerely mean this apology because the LAST thing I want to do is make things worse for anyone ........let alone someone so obviously hurting..........

Thanks Again
Basi xxxx

(((((Basi))))) Ditto! We all make mistakes - words, actions deeds. We ask of others to forgive us - the very least is to do the same for others - dont think we deserve forgiveness if we cannot give it and admit that we are all frail and doing our best on this journey through life. Hope you are well - take care - Luvs Ama

Hey Basi....

Tough love is a touchy thing to administer! I think your intent got lost in your words.

Way cool for the apology

Hi, Basi.

Thank you.

I needed my butt kicked but ouch!!! *lol* Seriously, I appreciate your message.

I've thought a lot about what I've posted and others' messages in return. I met my best friend for lunch today and told her everything. I truly don't want things to end but I can't go on living the way I do and I know it's all about choices, etc. She was shocked at what I told her but she offered to come with me to an AA meeting and hold my hand.

I meant to come into chat tonight but ended up working late. I'll check in tomorrow to see how you all are.

Have a good night all,
R.

Basi,

I was so glad to see you came back with an apology and explanation. I don't know if you made this connection in doing so but I certainly did:
I think one of the hardest parts of this internet support system we are all engaged in together is that it just isn't the same as face to face communication. You sent your words out with one intention and many people misinterpreted them and were ready to call for your banishment before you even had a chance to respond. All the "cute smilies" in the world don't make up for facial expressions and real time interaction.

As you just discovered, it pays to read and re-read your post before you click submit to make sure it really says what you think it says. Especially when you are trying to do more than just say "Congratulations".

Congratulations, I'm glad you came back.

One Love, One Heart, Jah Bless

Basi

Basi...
hey woman, I have a hard time communicating whether it is f2f or the internet.
Sometimes I post stuff, realize that it might be misconstrued and go back in and delete it all, posting a emoticon instead... I am glad you are still here.


Rebecca...
Good to hear that you are doing better and had lunch with a friend.
Also good to hear that you are going to make a meeting.
Please feel free to send me a pm anytime, unfortunately I know too well where you are right now, as in the past I have tried on more than one occasion to off myself, but I have to be honest with myself and others in saying that 90% of the time alcohol was involved and certainly only made the situation's 100% worse...
Today I am grateful for another sober day.


Like Joe said, lets gate back to recovery
