Thanks to all....

Hope you're feeling lots better by now, Luv. Like the others suggested, try to forget the less than supportive posts. (probably putting it too kindly--feeling generous)
You have way too many friends here to count on! I'm glad you're posting more again BTW.

Hi Britt, I was soooo upset after reading that nasty post last night. I think RJ deleted the whole thread, it was totally uncalled for and against everything we believe in on this site. I am so very glad to see you back today. We are here for you, hon!:l

Didn't see it THAT one, britt, but have seen a few others. Just ignore. I'll repeat breifly something that happened to me in rehab. I was older than most & not a drug user. I tried to befriend, be happy, learn, get well, but there was 1 younger woman there who despised me on sight and set out to tell all these people things I'd said about them and even tried to get my room mate to move out! I was so hurt & confused we she attacked me verbally about my husband's visit, said I was showing off because he drove my BMW Roadster Z down to FL to see me. I had talked to him on the phone about how bad she was, and he saw how she followed us around when he visited, so after our confrontation I was on my way to call him to come pick me up when whole staff brought me in to ask me to do something (won't go into it now) that worked for me for the few days I had left. I have been much better, but she's on the streets after her husband threw her out, selling herself for crack. It's a very sad story. I don't feel vindicated, I feel so sorry for a wasted life. She couldn't concentrate on getting herself well, couldn't look at herself, and she hated me for the life I had and the desire I had to get well. Think about that next time someone blindsides you for no reason. It may not be you at all that they dislike.

Wow! Ruby! Yep, really good analogy! Luvie, sorry I wasn't here yesterday. You have way, way, way tons of people here who love and support you! You have put so much effort into beating this thing. Don't see yourself as having failed. See yourself as a person who drank once (one day) in over 4 months. That, my dear, is what I call success! Worry only about what you think. You know what is in your heart! You know your "truth". You are a kind, supportive, giving human being who only wants what is best for others and yourself. That is obvious! That is really all that matters. Love, Best

Brittzak, I hope you are OK today. Last night was very scary, and everyone here is still very worried about you. Obviously, you need some serious help, way over and above what can be done for you here at MWO. I do hope you will find a way to get some effective treatment. Let me know if there is anything I can do, OK?

Everyone: here is a pattern I have noticed here at MWO. It goes like this:

1. A person starts a thread saying that someone (and she names the person) said something awful to her.
2. Her friends, most of whom never saw the "awful thing," reply in the thread, essentially calling the other person a monster.
3. The other person now is labelled over and over again as a monster and evil-doer, and can do nothing to redeem herself.

Now, it is always possible that "other person" is in fact a terrible person, monster, and evil-doer, but it is also possible that she is not. I'd just suggest that offering support for someone who is hurting does not always have to include comments or speculation about the motives and character of the person who said some unknown something... Just a thought...

I totally agree with Rubes...nasty posts say more about the poster than the postee...doesn't help anyone though.

Ruby,
Thank-you for your post...Chrysa and I have talked all evening. DONE and over with. I was wrong for posting her name.

[Accountable for Me]

Thanks to all....

I hope you didn't mind my sending Chrysa, Det and Ruby your number last night. I was going to phone you myself but had to get the little one to bed and I thought they may be able to reach you.

I am glad you are back on the wagon today. Don't you wish they would ban alcohol in North America??? I certainly do. Too bad the government is so bloody greedy and would lose billions of dollars on the taxes.

I missed the nasty post last night. Who in the hell would post something nasty when someone is distressed and calling out for help???? It is f'n beyond me.

Take care. xoxoxo

[brittzak]

Thanks to all....

All is good.....and NO...I do not mind at all. ANYONE on this site can call me. I was just in no shape to answer.
I would like to clairify I did not post a PM...I posted a name from the original post....I didn't put it out there. BUT, it is cleared up.
And WIP...had you read my other posts I am making arrangements for further treatment. I was sober 8months last year and 4 this year....I HAVE sought several treatment avenues....I will now try a new route. You are not the MWO therapist...you work on you and I will work on me. Deal?

[A Work in Progress]

Thanks to all....

Hey, Britt, I am happy that you are OK and that you are "making arrangements for further treatment"! That's fantastic, and I hope that it turns out to be a wonderful experience for you.

Not sure why you feel it necessary to inform me that I am "not the MWO therapist," but... oh well. Message received. In the future, if you put stuff out there, asking for help, I will be sure not to offer any suggestions.

Best wishes to you.

Hi Darlin' Britt
You sound so much better today. I am glad. You were not "wrong" to post my name (if you did). As you are, I am thankful the episode is over & you are well & I am forgiven.

Dinner sounds great. Carry on with all of your plans. I think we both learned a lot here ;>).
kiss-kiss-hug-hug ..big smile. :>)
