Welcome, mate! Don't worry the soapbox. It's appropriate now. We've all been dragged into it, even though we didn't want to give the matter attention.

Welcome aboard again.

Welcome Phoenix

Hi Pheonix and welcome.
Glad you have joined us.
Like I already said, "Smarti" has much to learn about mutual respect.......if we can respect AA, as many of us applaud its successes, is it really asking too much that "Smarti" should afford us equal respect?.........no, I didn`t think so.

Am so glad this sad member has not turned you off M.W.O........this latest nonsense rarely rears its ugly head.

Wishing you love and strength,

Starlight Impress x

Hi and thank you all :-)
Day 2...
No red eyes, no dull headache, no guilt, no solpadeine, no bodily numbness no lethargy.
Hope I concentrate on that lot between 6 and 9 this evening :-)

Let's get this thread back where it should be... )

Look --- You made it 30 some days! That is fantastic!! So, I will say that you are 31 out 32+ Days now. Doesn't that sound better? Sometimes we have to stop the counting and focus on the progress. You even said it - it wasn't the "normal wasted drunk." Congrats. Onward! We just need to learn from these days in order to handle the "Booze Beast" better next time!

Phoenix - :welcome:
I am happy for you and Day 2!!! I am right with you there --- or as I was saying to Look, I am 12 out of 13 AF. Isn't it wonderful to feel good?? Come to Chat during your tough time at night. The support and fun there is fantastic. A new addiction for me, I'm afraid...
:H

Happy Saturday to everyone --- even you, Smarti --- 'cuz I wish everyone success in whatever way works best for them.

Love this place!!
:thumbs: :hug:

Welcome Phoenix....from the beautiful Emerald Isle....

You have a way with words - thank you. Smarti seems a very unhappy person, certainly at the moment. Let's hope 'they' feel better soon/one day. AA has a great deal to offer - many would indeed be dead without it. It's not for me although I have to always remember my first handful of weeks before I found here. I will always be grateful for some of the things I heard.

But I do love here!!!!!!

I wish you lots of even better days and hearing about how your journey unfolds Phoenix.... Rise away from those ashes wont you!!! The fanfare's blaring!

Love FMF x

Geez, you go away for a couple of days and all hell breaks loose...

I wonder if these problem people (and there seem to have been quite a few in recent weeks) are not encouraged by the reaction they get. They are looking for attention because they don't have it anywhere else in their lives and they are getting it here. I think it must be very off-putting for newcomers to see these spats.

Anyway, thank you Starlight & Chief for the kind words in amongst the thread hijacking. I WILL get things together again soon.

Last word honest.
Finding your own way, taken from AA living sober.
Some of us go back to drinking, before we get a real foothold on sobriety.
If that happens do not despair, many of us have done this and have finally
succeeded . A lcoholism is a condition and relapses are possible as in any
other human condition. Recovery can and does follow if you want it.
After setbacks, if you continue to recover and remain willing to try new
approaches convinces us that you have embarked on a path with many
people to a happy healthy destiny. We hope to see you among us. But
whatever path you travel along with us on on your own, you go with our
strongest good wishes an blessings.

Good to have the old supportive, loving energy back!

Calling someone an idiot, and advising him/her to "get lost," is kind of idiotic, Flip. And telling anyone, however poorly he/she may have expressed him/herself, is counterproductive to the camaraderie and common support established on this site.

As someone who has fired off irate/flaming/ranting emails while under the INFLUENCE (not to mention PMS,) I'd petition for a little more understanding about postings with which you may not agree.

That "idiot" that you so summarily invited to exit Stage Right may be the very soul you could save by some sympathetic chat. We are all in this together, and to scare anybody off with harsh words seems just too cruel. Say, instead, "Hey, JERK, I didn't like what you posted, but let's talk, and maybe we can find some common ground in this battle!"

Just an idea.

oops

Sorry jane jane, but after having yet another idiot infitrate this site earlier today, I must disagree..........this site works, very well I may add, on a mutual respect basis. If someone chooses to register here, then proceed to spit feathers, with "all guns ablazing", they`ll very much get their just deserts. I don`t disrespect AA, therefore I expect people to afford M.W.O. equal respect.

Kind regards,

Starlight Impress
