Lisa, Hi how are you My name is Liza I have been here in this community for a long time. It is nice to meet you. I don’t mean to come off as a note all but I’m a very honest person as that I’ve grown up in a very large world of liars from birth until my sobriety even on my mother’s deathbed. But in my sobriety I’ve learned one thing and that is forgiveness and honesty. Can I ask you a question please? Aren’t we all addicts here? Don’t we all suffer from the same disease? And that is what I mean by we? I’m not pointing any fingers at any particular person. I’m sorry if you felt like I was pointing my finger at you and no way or shape, when I say we I’m pointing my finger at The Disease of Addiction! I apologize if I have touched a sensitive area, because in no way shape or form was it meant for you directly or anyone else directly. If I would have meant you I would have pointed you out by name or said the word you. As addicts we seem to take everything personally and I apologize, but this is part of getting well to learn not to take things so personally as we grow in our program and work our steps we will show so much growth and not get so defensive, and take responsibility for things that are not ours, for such minor things. Again I apologize this is not meant for you directly.
Hi Liza, it’s nice to meet you. I’ve been in this community for quite some time now. As a moderator, I’ve moved these posts as I don’t think it’s fair we overtake that person’s thread.
As I stated before, it’s best we post using our own experiences rather than grouping all addicts under “we”. There are many of us here that have not lied, cheated or stole during active addiction. Let’s end this discussion and get back to doing what we do best by supporting those in need. Have a great day.
Her response to my comment on the original thread got deleted during the app crash and thank goodness because it saved me needing to reply yet again.
You’re right, you aren’t typing in capital letters… Though your previouly perfect punctuation has gone missing somehow. How peculiar
There’s no shame in being heated. I’m heated often and have been flagged often during those instances. I’ve found it best to remove myself from the situation then as for me the anger towards members or situations on TS found it’s way into my physical life.
Thank you for your assessment… . I will try to stay on topic.
Okay everybody I apologize for my misunderstanding of this young man’s post and I apologize to him for my misunderstanding. I did not mean to upset anybody or offend anybody. I will try better the next time. To keep my opinions to myself. Please forgive me that I have upset you all was not my intention. That’s all I can do is ask is for forgiveness. I’m only human, And I have an addiction and I make mistakes again I am sorry and will try better:heart:
I think this week’s just hard maybe because I’m getting ready to have this surgery, You’re taking four disc out of my neck and I’m scared because their getting ready to put me on all this pain medicine! I don’t know. I’m sorry I really am
I’m sorry this ain’t about me. It’s about the way I acted, I shouldn’t have acted that way. That’s not me at all, since I’ve been clean I have been a different person this It’s like the old me. I went back and apologized to Eric.
Wow this thread is intense, love you guys!
Lol I will for sure!!!
Guys, we’re behind on schedule. We’ve got half a year left to completely fill this thread but are only one third of the way there. We’ve gotta step up our game
From another perspective…maybe not so much? Derailing IS against the rules and DOES create more work for your volunteer moderators.
And that’s why I am apologizing. And did apologize to everyone. And will do my best not to repeat my messed up action. And I personally apologize to you also if my word affected you. I am truly sorry. Sometimes our personal issues of the past and present don’t only stop us from seeing our own actions that we thínk are helpful because of our past, but they they blind just because of the pain we are going through. And I know after seriously self thought and going back and reading that the thing going on in my life at the present I could see myself walking in Eric’s shoes very shoe but even in a very worse way. And the day he posted way the day I got this news that could cause me to uses and I reacted wrong… and I apologize d to Eric and I hope it’s good enough. If not maybe one day…
Give yourself a break misses…
There is going to be clashes we are all wired differently we’ve all been brought up different and we all have an opinion that someone is not gonna like thats life…
Whàt is this place? And are we stuck here?
Oh… It’s like being kick off the play ground… I deserve that I can take it.
I think this time it was just me… it don’t matter though It’s all good I learn a very valuable lesson That’s for sure
