@Mephistopheles you popped up in my odometer
(Random post so I put it in this thread)
Seems you’re on a highway to hell…
Nice.
Breaking in my new wheels I got a few months ago
If it’s really three months ago, your average speed from this alone is about 2 mph / 3 kph. Basically constantly walking even while asleep.
Nice.
(I worked with a guy who traveled so much one year he calculated his average speed for the year to be something like 20mph/30kph just from flying. Lol.)
You’ll note my cruise control is set to 97km/hr. Hooray for 80km/hr rural roads & country living!
And exact quote from me
Woohooo! Moved my first off topic post…correctly…I think
Now move it back!
Lol, baby steps
God gave us our gracious Beard
Long live our noble Beard
God save the Beard
Send him victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to reign over us
God save the Beard
I approave of this message
Now I want to find out what my average speed is… Probably not that fast. I don’t go many places…
That isn’t true- hence my initial post
You don’t have to be religious for AA to work for you, I’m certainly not. It’s all about fellowship and mutual support
Just curious, do you believe in 13 stepping or is that nonsense too?
It happens, but those are often predatory assholes using the ‘magic’ of their time sober to hit on people in a weak state. I don’t know what you mean by ‘believe in,’ I clearly stated I believe in anyone’s right to believe in anything that doesn’t hurt others, so your arrest at insulting me fails through your terrible use of language. Do I think that any unhealthy relationship, regardless of sobriety, should be pursued, is a no-brainer. Do I believe that people should not get into relations in their first year of sobriety, no, I think it is bullshit. Just because people get sober, doesn’t change the fact they may be attracted to someone, they may meet their life partner, they may get fucked over by an asshole but that’s life. The big book doesn’t mention anything about this, and shouldn’t.
Hitting on wasted, helpless or weak people is vicious and pathetic. We have laws to try and combat it.
So while I don’ really get what you mean by belief in a thirteenth step, this is my reply.

Dear Stephen
Are we policing posts for language and grammatical errors now? If so I can point out the incorrect use of different commas within your post.
In regards to 13th stepping: You’re asking a female new to recovery to inbox you to speak about your ‘recovery methods’, this isn’t appropriate, why don’t you share with the wider group instead?
Kind Regards

@DarrenUK @StephenUys These were skewing off the original topic, and unnecessarily personal. Let’s please stay on point and keep it civil.
Apologies- I just wish these keyboard warriors were as brave face to face
