To Mr & Mrs Macks,

I thought I did apologize. Anyway, I sincerely apologize if I hurt you or made it worse. That was not my intention. I knew you woudln't like it, but my intention was to add another perspective that might help this very serious, life-threatening & complex medical situation.

Chrysa

Re-reading this thread, the thought uppermost in my mind was: "There, but by the grace of God, go I..."

It could so easily have been any one of us living through Macks' hell. I fully support the sentiments expressed by Zen & Cat.

Best of luck, Macks - for both you and your family.

While i do apprciate,and i mean really appreciate all the back up and support, it's been on my mind today about Chrysa.. I dont come here all the time and i dont know her situation, drinking or not, home life, anything.. I know she has been here a long time and still must obviously need this group..
I'm not condoning anything like that, just for the sake of one post i dont want anyone to be alienated, everyone makes mistakes..
I didnt know wheather to write this or not.. It makes me seem ungrateful for all the support which i'm not. and i am not trying to be a martyr either.The support here and compasion for somebody you have never met keeps me going and drives me on..
I just dont want anyone who needs mwo feel out of place.. All grown ups here at the end of the day going through something that thank god most people will never have to..No hard feelings Chrysa..


Love you lots Lisa and all here:l

PS Britt i remember that post about the avatar...You got a good memory

Mack, you showed what is important about the spirit of this program and that is true compassion for someone else. Way to go and we will await your return

Ahh Macks.....I had no idea this was goin on. Dude...I know you can make it work for you. And I think you know it too. Glad your goin to re-hab. Dig your heals in and push forward.

Lisa...hugs to you both.

And I know Chrysa's words may sound harsh but I know she means well. Some of us have been here for a long time and have gotten to know others well and feel the need to speak their mind. I do believe its all in the name of good.

I wish you the best Mackeral...from an old friend.

loves and hugs....

Sending support........x..............x

I have just read the whole of this thread twice......I am in awe of every one on here and feel soo lucky to have found you guys. Even in the midst of ultimate fall out (even between ourselves) everyone was still trying to 'do the right thing' in this example by Mack but in the grand scheme of things....by each other - albeit in different ways.

If only in day to day life we had this kind of honesty, courage and support for each other - the world would be an altogether different place.

I just want to say THANK YOU to every one on here that 'takes the time' to 'make time' for others. Although we are all at different stages, ultimately we are all on the same journey.

On a personal note - I so so admire our thread starter.... Mr Mack and equally his great support - Mrs Mack. You have had the courage to stand up and say this cant go on any more. I have lived with a problem which, in hind sight began many years ago. I grew up seeing my parents wasted most of my junior years. It was 'normal'.

It has taken me to till now (27) with a good 10 years of what can only be described as a 'blur' of a life behind me to realise.... NO! I DO NOT want my kids to grow up and think this is normal.

We're half way there lads and Mack's and wife - you are after restoring my faith in the meaning of true love and support. Sending you massive hugs for the times ahead x x x

I'm with Gabby, Macks. I'm glad that Chrysa apologized, but I also know Chrysa. Chrysa does mean well and wants to help too. Tact is not always her strong suit though. I think you'll agree, C?

I do better with support than tough love myself, so I can understand if you felt hurt.

Everyone here is wishing you the best. You know how I feel about you and Lisa :h :h :h . My heart is with both of you as you count down the days. I'm wishing you both only good things. :l

Thank you YAH. Yes, tact is not my stong suit, but caring is. I think I have told many of you about my story with my daughter. I just shared it in PM with Macks & Lisa.

My daughter, 15, was in a life & death drug situation. She needed both a big kick in the butt as well as, and at the same time as, relentless love & support (for years to come).

I am not going to repeat what I said to Lisa & Macks personally. Suffice to say I have always cared for them and I was scared. I thought it through. I knew there woudl be backlash. I did not care. I want him to be well.

I am very tired of this now, for starting out a Monday morning. Have a good day everyone.

(((Mack))))

Hon I'm struggling too as does my hubby. I spent most all weekend snackered. I think you got the greatest wife ever. We have our 14 year old for two weeks starting sometime next week and we will both go AF. Sometimes that's the kind of kick in the butt one needs. Oh and warm and fuzzies to you :H

Macks travel at your own pace. Please know you are cared about by both genders. I am going to say it here and again in subs. I love Chrysa, when I first arrived she said something to me one day that rather hurt my feelings. I let it go to find out she is loving honest and very compassionate.
Zen is fairly new to me but she is upbeat positive a great person to have around. Not everyone clicks, I to have people I avoid. Such is life.
Macks much love to you and the Mrs. and the wee ones

You are a great, loving, caring individual and it breaks my heart to see you struggle like this.
