I'm here blue. But i've built up walls and i'm never goin to be as honest as i was last time. That's what i think sucks. I couldn't be honest. I thought this site was all about honesty. Now i realise it's just about tellin people what they wanna hear. So i'm back. I've taken my boat back too. These scallywags haven't even waited to see if i was properly dead before they took my ship over. Anyway. I don't wanna fight. I hate fightin. I'm back and i'm not takin any shit from anyone who thinks they are better than the next. I'm the mediator. I'm the control of evenis. So don't mess with me. Don't think you're better than everyone else, cause if you do, you will be taken out. Also, to everyone... Do not put your honesty onto this thread, less yea want to be broken down by the masses. Just a kind warnin. I was martyrd for my honesty. But i will never allow myself to be that open again. Hope you've all learned from my mistake. Love you all that stood by me. Seriously. I love you all. You gave me the strength to come back.

Diz...Brother! I am delighted to see you here again. I was, and am, ready to fall on my sword in the interests of truth and justice. If nothing else you have redeemed me.
Now Dude, there is a ship in trouble, it needs a Captain.

From Walt Whitman:
'O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.'

Go back our Captain...we need you!

Does that take heart? Does that take courage? Bet your arse it does.
Come on dudes (and dudettes.)
"Allons enfants de la Patrie"
These stupid frogs can tell us something about liberty, equality and fraternity.
We are a band of brothers and sisters...lets pull togther...not apart.

I told myself I would not get involved with these types of posts - but sometimes the passion to say my peace overcomes me. I have always had the rule - before you send a nasty email, write it and then wait 24 hours. If after reading it the next day, you still want to send it, fine. I guess one feels braver when it is anonomous. Anyway, I said somethings out of frustration and I apologize to all. I have since deleted my post.
I truly do beleive that when posters are coming clean, and need some one to be there for them, we need to put our own beliefs aside and try not to respond in a judging manner. That after all is why I came here. I could not possibly tell anyone I know, what I was doing while being under the control of alcohol ( which in my opinion is not limited to when you have it in your blood, alcohol is always in your brain). I recieved support and open arms and was not told that I should be ashamed of myself. Sometimes it is best not to post on a thread if you cannot be objective about the subject matter (yes I know as I write this, I am also talking about myself).
I have been told by some of the vets here that this type of "drama" happens every so often here so, I hope this particular event is done.

Lifes to short guys, we all should know this better than anyone. Diz, I don't know you unfortunately and I was spared the trauma of the whole argument but never forget that honest and openess is the finest arrow in our quiver. It cuts through everything that holds us down.

IAD, big respect, eyes on the prize bro. There's a war to fight. I've got all your backs. Each and every one of you. The real enemy is fear and negativity.

This site has been a Godsend to me and many others, lets focus on that.

At the end of the day, we all react, say things in haste and make wrong choices..... the good news is we can forgive, learn and move on!

Thanks eveyone for the HUGS, they were much needed

This will be my first and last post on this thread, as this truly has got silly...

but just to clear again my point to reply to diz...
firstly diz you were correct to post all that happened, and not hide parts, the most pertenent parts..
please tell me and others...
what sort of response did you want?????????
a pat on the head "there, there don't worry it's only a little "slip"....
and a big group hug from us all??????????????
we responded to your action of knowing full well you had a comitment to drive, & to pick up your child

you planned to get drunk as soon as the coast was clear from your wife..
the getting pissed part, even planning to do it, that wasn't the problem......

it would get a get a hug and encouragement to pick yourself up, dust yourself down, and start all over again..
shit that is why we are here coz we are alcoholics and know only too well doing excatly that...
I know I did...

BUT,
while you were still sober enough to plan to get the booze, why didn't you plan for some one else to pick up your child.....???
or make an excuse,any excuse that you couldn't....

not at any point did you acknowledge that was wrong...
just being happy that you didn't get caught...
I would've been happy that I didn't kill my child, or other familys on the road.....

we were not out to attack you for drinking.....

please understand the difference.....

this is a very sad clip you should look at...
