Dizi,

This is a site for drunks.

Sometimes those who "live" here decide what others can say or do. I don't.

I have been one of those who has said really stupid things while posting drunk.

I dislike immensely when those who post drunk do "drama" stuff but I tolerate it.

You are forgiven from my computer but I doubt it matters.

There are many here who will not.

Listen to those who care and avoid those who don't. Some are not as far down the "elevator" as others and some are much lower than you.

Just keep on posting. Keep on trying.

As a very dear friend of mine told me. "Just don't give up trying to give up." He never judged what others posted or said. He just wanted us all to get sober.

I stand by his creed.

I want us all to get sober.

I will not judge.

You are forgiven by me.

Love,
Cindi

Oh Dizi,
I totally understand where you were coming from.. I was defensive too when I received some "tough love" in one of my threads..
I have also drunk-driven.. before my son was born, and I was lucky that no-one was hurt.. you are totally forgiven by me, and it seems like you have lots of support from others here too..
AL makes us do things we all regret.. and we want to change, which is why we are here. and you too.. at least you are getting help..

Dizi, I am so glad to read this post. As you know, I was one of the members here who spoke out so strongly against your actions. It took a lot of courage for you to write this apology. Good for you.
I also know that you are being baptized today and that it is a very special day for you and your family. May the same strength it took for you to come back and write this post, accompany you in your journey through life.
Peace be with us all.
Stirly

Diz-Thanks so much for your honesty. I know all of the replies and new threads stemming from your original post caused a lot of angst, but I have to say that all of them have been invaluable to me. I admit that when I read the first doses of "tough love" my initial reaction was that people were throwing stones and being way too harsh on you. Then I realized as I kept reading that it was harsh, yes, but true and exactly what you (and I, and anyone like us--people trying to stay sober) need. It just made me uncomfortable to read what people were saying to you because it hit close to home--I've driven drunk. No one wants to feel like they're being judged, but it's so very important for our recoveries to be held accountable...if everyone here was an enabler, how would anyone get sober? I know being coddled by myself and people in my life hasn't done anything good for me so far.

I think it took a lot of courage to come back and apologize. Very inspiring to me.

I was also impressed (and touched, actually) with how much time people like Girly and Sheri took to clearly express their thoughts...I can't tell you how much your posts on this subject helped me. Thanks so much!

Well, I never read the post and have no idea for what you are apologizing, but my hat is off to you. It takes a real grown up to eat humble pie. (Or rhubarb pie if you listen to Prairie Home Companion on the radio...)

Hope all is well in the future, you sound like you've wiped the slate clean.
