Wonderful, ToGood! So glad to here good things from you. Yes, one of the best tools we have is to jump on here, even if we're reading or posting jokes, desserts, sport scores, or the serious problems some here have. Again, READ, READ, READ; the experiences here would add up to more than anyone could include in a book. We are blessed to have MWO, and happy you are here!

So wonderful to have someone to share with, is it? Hubs has been very interested in my involvement here, sees the difference. And yes, when we're 'country' folks, it's great to be able to get up in the morning and say hello to friends on the the other side of the world. I'm on the 'Army' thread (has nothing to do with military, btw), and the 'Get Your Ass In Gear thread, so please, join us there anytime and meet the others. Lots of support to you; you're doing great!

hey togood!

I live on this site! Read, post, pray (if you're a pray-er) and repeat!

And I agree--it's nice to feel good. No hangovers and no guilt.

Keep coming back!

good morning

ToGood,
First of all, welcome to MWO and congratulations on your 8 days of sobriety.
You have written about this incident in chat several times and the responses given to the person who was hurt by what happend. I would like to add some incite, to help you understand. First of all, sometimes, people do come here drunk and angry, and we all know that even though ugly behavior can be hurtful and is certainly not helpful, it happens. The best thing to do when this happens is to let it go. Do not dwell on it. Chock it up to experience and move on.

As for the comments made to Sick of being Sick in regards to protecting her own sobriety first. These were true statements, meant to protect Sobs. No one meant that Sobs should not continue to reach out to others. SOBS has become very dear to everyone here. We love her input. But, she was making a mistake made by many who first arrive here, she was focusing on the drama and becoming hurt and sad by some of the response that she was recieving. Those of us with some longer sobriety and who have been here for a while know, that feeling as SOBS did, can lead to drinking. The advice given to SOBS was good advice, given out of love and concern. It was given to help guide her into balancing working on her own early days of sobriety, with reaching out to others.

So please, chock this up to experience and let it go. MWO is a great place, but, from time to time like Ruby has already mentioned, not everyone gets along and all here are not in the same place with regards to alcohol and their emotional state. But, none the less, MWO works.....if you work it!

Best Wishes,
Kate
