NYE, flu still clinging a bit. No health insurance so just riding it out. Actually got some pretty good sleep. I’m going to try to spend some time at the office for sanity reasons. My 14 yo loves going there. Need to think of something nice to do with her tonight. I’m so uncreative, so I’m stumped. Been thinking on it for weeks.

Thank you Jane. It is sad that a few people can troll around on here claiming free speech and fun and silliness when they are fostering divisiveness and rude behavior. I can only surmise that they require drama to feel or are unhappy in their real life.

This forum is open to anyone wanting help. Even those who are not well socialized or unkind. Taking potshots is unbecoming and allowing things to just play out is perhaps the best policy.

Even as a moderator, I find the mute a thread option very helpful. As a reminder, we also have ignore user available to us.

Looking forward to a sober 2020 and hope that the trolls go find a new sandbox.

I agree. I just wish we could back to the days of bashing AA and promoting kratom so that everyone can be happy again.

I’d love to know the stats on who the most ignored user is. I think @forged is taking a run at the title.

I would have been up there in my glory days :muscle:

I was confused about the date. I’ve been thinking that yesterday was new year’s Eve since yesterday morning. :smile:

Checking in with a couple weeks under the belt. 7am Recovery Dharma meeting this morning. Tonight I’ll be having a game night with the In-Laws and nephews to ring in the New Year and my birthday. Turning the big 35 tomorrow. Hope everyone enjoys their holiday in whatever way is best for them.

@Sabrina80 2 years!! Thanks for sharing the milestone. It gives newbies like me hope.

@Fargesia_murielae I know what you mean about the hippie crap! Haha. Now I meditate 20 minutes a day, sometimes breathing through my heart??? And I love it.

:pray:t2:

Simple and here is the timeline:

Me very tired of Sassy. I tell Citizen Sass in a message that she intiated “shame on you” for moving threads.

She then calls me mean and tells me not to contact her again. I request the same of her. (But you contacted me)

Then:

I am reading your childhood crush thread, enjoying myself looking at pics of Leif Garrett and then I see that someone got offended and ran to Citizen Sass who deleted the offensive material.

I said good grief. She said double good grief and then my thread started.

What I really wanted to ask was how milk toast are you that you became offended in the Childhood Crush thread.

My thread started.

Lastly
And now the Childhood Crush thread has a fucking disclaimer in the title. WTF and I am the troll​:flushed::flushed::flushed::flushed::flushed::flushed:

Uhhmnn… I didn’t flag anything, but as a Brit, I do understand what went on. Someone posted a pic of the most horrible woman he could think of, as a joke, in the childhood crush thread. She (the woman he posted) and her partner abducted, tortured, taped and killed little kids. Not funny.

Nope doesn’t sound funny. Did anyone tell the guy to take it down

This is a sobriety forum first and a fun socializing place second. I’m sure there are plenty of other forums you could frequent that are more aligned with what you’re looking for.

Day 465

One of my personal goals was to be sober for 100% of 2019. I have been sober for 99.7% so far and pretty sure I’ll make it to 100%!

Stay beautiful gang!

Keep the faith @Hippocrates! If you walk the path, you’ll get where you need to go. There may be highs and lows but you’re making progress. No recovery is perfect, none of us are saints.
