Army Thread FRIDAY 29th June

[quote]Originally Posted by one2many View Post
Good Morning Folks,

I have been having a little think to meself the past couple of weeks. I know I have been here less as I have been promoting my new page over on Facebook but I have been trying to keep my nose clean on here too.

I feel like I have been flying the AF flag too much maybe. I find it SO difficult to see drinking being spoken about so willy nilly on some other threads, signatures singing the praises of alcohol, people not taking it seriously....etc etc..

That is MY problem, nobody else's....It just brings me down and I get drawn into it time and time and time again....WHY should I even care? Why should I bother trying to talk someone out of it or try to explain the benefits of AF or even say what works for me? I come across Self Righteous and holier than thou and that is not who I am. But it seems that way, I cannot help it. I need to step back and just let people get on with whatever they are doing and keep my beak out.

I find myself getting into petty arguments with people on here while I try to advocate the AF lifestyle....No more, I step back and I am taking my nose and my "AF is the only way to go " attitude with me. It is causing me more stress than I need and I still cannot fathom why I actually care so much.

Everyone has to find their own way and that's the way it is but having spats with people on an alkie forum because I want to "help them" is both ridiculous and unnecessary, I won't be doing it anymore.
I would be better putting my effort in elsewhere in my life rather than constantly having "argue the point!

I have been here a long time and I feel I have been of some support somewhere along the way and I hope people will remember that, rather than the person I have become of late because that is not who I am but who I am when I am here, I need to work on that.

So hanging the gloves up here and stepping back, wish everyone the very best of luck in their journey, whatever way they choose to travel, I need to get on with mine xxx

Oney - if you are reading this, you were my first friend here a few years back. Always supportive. Your words were honest and kind and you always had the very best intentions. Wave the damn flag. It certainly helps people like me. You are a wonderful person and I only wish you joy and happiness. You have helped so many people, you have no idea. And no, it's not your job..but it is your nature. You are a fixer. And some of us can only fix ourselves and it is frustrating that we can't get it through our thick skulls that ALCOHOL = BAD. (I include myself in one of those frustrating people!). I promise though, I am doing my very best.

You are loved and I hope you do not stay away long.

I read this earlier & didn't know what to say, just tears. :upset: Have fam from out of town. Not leaving until tom. But, I can't get this out of my mind. I still don't know exactly what to to say. But, it will come to me. I'm not done with this! I'm an American. My ancestors are 1/2 Irish & I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. But, I can be quite blunt. I was born a fighter. I can also be very polite & kind, just like you hun.

This from my heart Oney. I will carry you with me whether you come back here or not! We have different faiths & I don't care one bit. I do believe in psychic abilities. I have them myself. You may never know how much you've helped me not only in my sobriety, but as a woman. Now I'm going to cry! :upset: I've told my hubs how much I like you. If I had a damn "Farcebook acct I'd like u!. I need your AF flag here. In fact a lot of people need it! They may not like it, but damn't, they fecking need it! I can't post anymore now. People need the truth! They might not member it today, but they will member it later! You might be the voice who saves their ass. I will think on this more! I love you, like you, respect you & need you & want your strong voice, your fecking crazy funny words make me laugh. I need to member how bad Alcohol is. Now get your sweet ass back here. Don't ya think 4 one min ya aren't helping them. They might not know it or admit it, but ya are helping!!!!.... Plus your helping people like me, others here & lurkers. :l :h
