So what's it all about??

Hippie,

I, too, have made such wonderful friends here. You being one, you anarchist you!!

It is amazing, isn't it? My life is enriched with friendships that I could never have had without this forum. People from all over the world who care, who don't judge, who help and for whom I deeply care.

It is funny that we can pick up how each other is doing without actually talking face to face. Somehow we know.

Yes, I still go to AA, when I can, but I can go to MWO night or day, no matter how badly I am doing or how great I am feeling, and you are all there.

Love,
db2fromala, cindi, cinders

Cindi I guess it will be always one of your posts that, if you remember I asked if I could post on the AA forum I was on, that really meant a lot to me. It was just that kind of friendship between you and that 'friend of Bill's' that meant so much to me at that time. I don't totally disown AA and it's principals as I mentioned to Mr.T earlier. The steps as you so rightly put it a while back would be good for EVERYONE to do and not just us alcoholics. Take stock of our lives etc.

But I'm a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. I get hurt easily, my emotions are out there for everyone to see. I live and love by them and that's just who I am. I guess that's why i need friends here who don't rip that heart of me sleeve and understand me better.

Love Hips

OH I can so relate..
I wear my heart on me sleeve too... which is the main reason why i cant talk to me mum... who is the closest person to me... Im afraid of what she'll see, what she'll sense, or pick up on.
I miss my mum, cos I got no friends in real life... only you cyber-friend-guys... ...which I DO appreciate... believe me.

I come here because I can. Anytime day or night, whether I have been drinking or not. No need to get into a car and drive. I can come here and post if I feel like sharing, I can PM a friend if I really need someone to help me, I can read other's posts and perhaps learn something new or just know that I am not alone in this struggle. I can sign on here and not feel so isolated from the rest of the world because here I know others who fight this everyday. Some with great success and others, such as myself with less success. Here I have friends who understand what I am going through and who don't judge me or consider me weak or bad. I come here because it is a safe haven for me as I wrestle everyday with trying to conquer this addiction I have.

If I wasn't so sentimental I would say something completely different now but I'm afraid that's not my way. I guess you've summed it up perfectly Cucks and god bless you for being you.

It`s all about mutual love, respect and understanding..........where else in this whole wide, yet narrow-minded world could this "alkie" find such treasure?????

Without you all.........I simply couldn`t do this. YOU are the love of my life.

I come here to be with people how understand that alcoholism makes you do bad things but it doesn't make you a bad person.This site is busting at the seams with really good people who are all united in there fight against the S.O.B ALCOHOL

Awe Star I know I'm 'treasure' hun thanks for the compliment!!!lol

God you have to have a laugh at the same time with this.. You can't take this sobriety too serious otherwise you're gonna 'kill' yourself with it all. Don't get me wrong this is a serious problem we have us real alkies but don't ever loose sight of the fact that we have to enjoy our sobriety along the way too. A smile costs nothing and hugs are even better. It makes your day. I've had lots of hugs today and I'm feeling like the hippie I was when i first came here again.

God Bless hugs
Love and Happiness

"hugs"..........what the f*** are they???? :upset: :H

Laughter?..........a definite must here for me.........some nights I come on here just to have fun and laugh my head off out loud..........can`t beat it. Without laughter..........sobriety would be doom and gloom and whilst I have my "down" times..........I soooooooooo need fun, and I find it here!!!! :H
