Morning GT

[shambles70]

yeah --- hand out flyers outside the pubs --- morning Shams --- don't worry bout the food --- it'll settle down

s'pose I'm the voice in the wilderness here (was that Moses as well?) -- maybe it's my dabbling in AA that makes me aware --- that mwo and the likes of it (all support groups) may help GET us sober ---- but it's 'giving back' --- and reaching out to help others that will KEEP us sober --- so I have to admit to getting cranky when folks just disappear for whatever reason --- this truly isn't aimed at anyone in particular --- it goes back for almost 5 years that I've been wandering these boards --- making friends and then --- WHOOOOF --- they're gone without even a goodbye sometimes ---- I feel it's imperative to hand on the wisdom that we've RECEIVED here --- some of the things that were said to me in early recovery were priceless jewels that still float around in my head ---- I don't feel we can just take and walk away ---- that's all -- that's my rant for the morning....... and I REPEAT --- this is not aimed at anyone in particular ---- I know lots of people dropped away when the site was changed and I think that's a shame..... anyway ---- back to the recruiting at the offie I guess ;-) may take a little break myself today cos I'm dead cranky

I'll make you a cuppa if you stay, molses...
It must be frustrating to watch people disappear...and moreso because we share and invest so much on here...i've learned very quickly that this is more than just a message board...and i totally agree about the importance of giving back...

Morning satz and welcome GT ....that was a speedy recruitment drive!

I agree totally with this and have said it before on here.
It is lonely to be on there every day trying to keep the thread alive - and folks just do not bother.
I will also think of 'moving on' as the conversations I have these days are mostly with 2 /3 people - and I can do that off-line.
But ....
We do this for others as much as for ourselves. Think of a newbie needing a place to feel safe and just read for a while.
It's how I got sober just posting & reading and I will not deny others the same chance.

I would also miss the interaction with others from other countries and hearing about their lives.
Dreamy your life is so exotic and different and I love to hear about it.
Same goes for Rags, Ava & the undies - such different lives - love to hear from you too.
Even the Brits Roxy & now Shambo very different lives, different outlooks but it's great to be part of it and seeing you beating the common foe .

Morning dahlinks,

Sad news indeed about our Deirdre Barlow........

Ah FFS that's terrible

[JackieClaire]

Love to give you a long reply, Molls, but I must get dressed for work..............and by the time I have time it'll all have gone out of my head.

Anyhoo could I be well looked after the next couple of days as its the 10th anniversary of my Ma's death on Thursday and woke up with an anxiety attack this morning.

[shambles70]

Sorry to hear that Jacks...:hug: I'll make you a cuppa while you're getting ready.

[shambles70]

:applouse: oh god I'll stay for a cuppa --- cheap date I am ;-)
and welcome GT good to see you indeed --- tell us a bit about yourself?

I may have over-reacted....hope no one is upset by me.......

Ya soppy sod! You're always spot on!

[JackieClaire]

It was just weird.............did my deep breathing.
Must away to work.

[satz123]

Just read this and point taken. I do want to apologise for not posting but I find it hard to get stuff/feelings down on the internet plus I seem to have no time to spend on the computer as my life is so busy. I am extremely grateful for the support I received here and particularly from the Army. Love you all!! (And sorry for disappearing)

30 day party tomorrow - iron yer frocks

Is someone having a party? Count me in!

[JackieClaire]

Hope this works................meet our two new staff members Ebony and Ruby,
