Sometimes it seems to me that people on this site attack others when he or she has not read the original post (or responses) in its entirety before lashing out on others.
In the oringinal post, I cannot find any reference (maybe I am blind) that Jimmy wanted to leave this site, but then I see attacks on him about how maybe he should do just that. Next I see how others interperate his post as attacking people on MWO when he is really referencing his personal experience with AA, but then he proceeds to state "**** I do realize that I have the same issues but was not ready to accept my place there" when referring to AA.
I understand that feelings are just feelings; this does not make it reality, but I feel like if I came here and said that I wanted to jump off a bridge, my husband is a dickhole, or life just sucks ass I would get a lot of support. But if I come on here and be honest that I drink simply because I take responsibility for my own actions for being the drunk that I am, I will be spanked and put in time out because I do not live up to someone else's expectations.
We all come here because we have a problem. Since I was a small child I have been laughed at because I play Devil's Advocate. I truly believe in supporting ALL people, regardless of who they are, where they come from, their socio-economic status, their religious or spiritual beliefs, and any other area of their personal life that may be different frrom my own.
For those of you who read this and reply with a negative response, I am sorry it is too long or confusing to understand, please, just don't bother in replying.
