It has been brought to my attention that, in light of recent events ( I think), there are some peeps on the Get your Arses in Gear thread who feel uncomfortable with Army people posting over there and have made it clear that our posts are not welcome.
I am putting this here on the thread so that everyone knows and cannot say they were not included in the pm...
Yes, I do think it is childish and silly and we should all just get on but I am just the messenger.
So just to recap, please refrain from posting on the Arses in Gear thread as it is not welcome..
Thanks Guys.
Without a doubt, I did feel uncomfortable knowing that a few weeks ago somebody from the Army thread was posting on the Journey thread with a fake persona. There were also some mean spirited posts a few weeks ago. I was angry & defended my friends. However, I thought that we had all got passed that. I thought that the fueding had stopped.
I was very sorry to see Oney's post today. Now nobody will feel welcome here. I do not want to make the Journey thread a place where people feel like they can't post. The Journey thread has always been welcoming. It doesn't feel welcoming anymore. I am here to get & give support for my alcohol addiction. That is why I am here.
I am done with the games. I wish everyone the best. I am going to coexist.
Take care...........Nora, I agree with you and that's one of the reasons I was posting on the Journey thread, to give support.
I just want to say something that I said earlier to Mama earlier in a PM.

I don't think it always is a good thing when a thread gets "clique-y" and the same members are posting and no other input is made. The reason is that when it is like-minded people that end up on posting regularly on one thread, IMO there is the possibility of you not getting the kind of support you need in any given moment simply because you are getting the same responses from the same people time after time. I noticed on Nora's thread that Molly popped over and posted a couple of times a few weeks ago when she was going through a hard time. After reading what Molly and Oney posted, Nora wrote this...
I have to say again. THANK YOU all for the wonderful discussion today. I feel better (mentally) than I have for days or weeks. Seriously, it helped me put things back into the perspective that I had before.
It's not that the regular posters on the Journey thread weren't supportive, it's just that Molly, through her recent personal experience with rehab, where she learned some new tools to help her, was able to give Nora advice that hit home.
