WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Red, I do know who driver is and you are certainly right, they are only trying to stir up trouble as they have done so many times. I wonder how many people have been run off over the years because of such criticism and judgement. Spuddle, I am so very sorry you don't feel free to share. I would like to invite you to "The Journey is here so get your ass in gear". No one there will judge or condemen you, but love and encourage you through this difficult journey. Bear, same invitation to you. No one has the right to judge or condemen or why would anyone ever come here? Kate, you seem to know so much about Roberta Jewel's intention for this site. Obviously, you don't agree with her, so why don't you start your own website for people who have overcome alcohol? I believe her intention was to provide a safe place where people can come together and feel free to be open and honest and help one another get and stay sober. I hate that you feel it is your place to condemn people who don't do things the way you think they should be done. You discount someone like me who has had 296 sober days out of the 311 days I have been here trying desperately to get off alcohol. Sorry I don't meet your approval, but I love you anyway.

When people screw up and drink I think it might be helpful to remember the phrase "There but for the grace of God go I."

Just my two cents.

Congrats to those who are on the other side of addiction and my heart and prayers go out to those who still struggle.

promised myself i wasnt gonna post about this again but i must say thank you for that thought lucky. when i had got a couple of months sober i was so grateful and happy and could have hoped nothing more than for others here to have got there too . i wasnt any stronger or more determined than anyone else. i just got it at that time. unfortunately it didnt last long enough, but i know that i can do it again, and so can everyone else here. we are all here for the same reason and we can all pull together and get ourselves well again. im still the same determined strong person. we all are, we just have to pull it out.

I am guilty of posting while under seize and I so apoligize to another in the suffering while the moment could have been more of a value.

I fight this miserable misery.

I apply and then apply more than I speak of.

Hope to do better and lean into the same light as you.

Thanks for putting up with my weakness.

The great thing about it is, that we all have the tool's within us. We have all we need inside us.
We just need to dig deep, or peel away the layer's, and start using what we already have.

I just read this thread- I think it should be a sticky.
I think I have made too many excuses for drinking as others have. There really is no excuse. I pretty much spend a lot of time reading and learning in here- and feel stronger for it. When I can honestly come in here and say I have at least 30 days under my belt I will-because I know I am constantly "slipping" really finding a "reason" to drink-and like I said -there is no excuse. Because of my constantly slipping I decided not to post about it-and just post in here once I get 30 days under my belt. I feel stronger in my resolve now- and it is from reading and learning.
Thanks for starting this thread, Oney-

I re-read Oney's post often. I actually put it in a word document (Oney I think I may owe you residuals, right? ) It rings very true and always brings me back to being responsible for myself and how I live my life. It is harsh only in that it hits so close to home for so many of us. The truth can sometimes really suck and we don't want to own up to it, but it is what it is. If you really don't want to stop drinking, really really don't want to stop, you won't. It is a deep commitment. Hard yes. Worth it? TOTALLY.
