1. If you're here because you have a problem with alcohol and you want to do something about it then expect to be challenged at times regarding your your actions and your beliefs. More often than not it's those 'beliefs' that are keeping you delusional and in denial of how serious a problem you have. I didn't get well by being wrapped in cotton wool or being told "Mummy will make it all better". I needed to hear the TRUTH.
2. This is NOT a social networking site. If you don't want to put action in around your sobriety then may I suggest you go and join Facebook. There's plenty of applications there for you to keep yourself busy and to stop yourself from facing reality.
3. Guess what? I don't see eye-to-eye with everyone on here too. Get over yourself and stop taking everything you read so personal and stop letting people's opinions consume you.
4. Opinions are exactly that; opinions. I don't need to justify my posts anymore by telling YOU that or apologizing for having an opinion.
5. Stop judging people based on your own conditioning (which is what it is). No one here has fingers clean enough to point. e.g. I don't understand people who go down the route with medications (namely bac.) as their method of recovery. I just don't get it. But people have found this works in their lives. So, who the hell am I to sit here and judge these people based on the fact I choose to see things differently? If you've found something that works for YOU then give it %100. There's no right or wrong method of recovery, only your own. Compassion and tolerance of others makes things a lot easier for your own recovery too. Stop pointing the fingers people!
6. The whole world doesn't revolve around YOU.
7. Stop allowing your ego to make posts in threads that don't concern you. (I'm not perfect I can still make rash posts myself). Ask yourself why is it you feel the need to make a post in a particular thread before jumping in. Are you bringing something of yourself to that thread to help someone, or is it ALL about you (see 6.)
8. Even I need to be reminded from time to time that I'm not alone. Give praise where praise is due. (Do NOT mistake this for enabling though.)
9. If you're not taking responsibility for your life and your actions then how the hell can you be expected to get 'back on the wagon'. Ask yourself, where you really there in the first place i.e. "on the wagon". or where you just clinging to the side for dear life.
10. "To thine own self, be true"
Have a beautiful day.
Many Blessings
