It’s okay… canceled my therapy this morning because I just feel drained…
I appreciate that and didn’t really think of it that way. Thankfully my therapist is really understanding and just advised me to take it easy for the day

Thank you, honestly it’s something I have been dealing trying to work on so I’m glad it’s being recognized. Still have a long ways to go but I’m hopeful

Derailment Void! Is there still a Derailment Graveyard? I have not been there in a long time. @Englishd can I blame that on you?

The void is my domain. Only the mods access to the graveyard, although since it’s spooky season they should grant us access!

Yes. I believe we have both received enough flags to unlock that exclusive TS benefit!

I think I know the secret password for us to receive access to Derailment Graveyard!
@SassyRocks Bless your little heart!

I came across the term ‘13th stepping’ and had to look up what it was. Holy F; I can’t believe that’s a thing. So slimy, inexcusable, and gross.

I looked it up after reading your post. That is not a nice thing to do…I totally get why there are women’s only meetings or that sponsors should be your same gender. Like if I did the AA steps having a woman sponsor would be really awkward.

Had to look it up too. Would take a real creep to prey on the weak. Especially when you knew what it was like just starting out, and looking e help

Sadly the recovery community is not immune from this type of behavior. Even this forum has seen its share of predatory men. They often only respond to the women, send inappropriate DMs, make creepy comments etc.
It’s sad really because people in early recovery are so vulnerable and often crave any type of connection.

Absolutely, its disgusting behaviour preying on people who are trying to heal.
Good job we’re alert to that kind of behaviour

Buncha whack jobs out there. We’re all messed up in our own ways. Those ones just aren’t ready to accept that their behavior is damaging to others quite yet.

It goes both ways. There are/have been also women who go after men. Either way, it’s sad and wrong.

If I post directly to the derailment void, does that mean I’m on topic, or off?

Why not both?
Let’s try…
A train is a form of transport consisting of a series of connected vehicles that generally runs along a railroad track to transport cargo or passengers. The word “train” comes from the Old French trahiner, derived from the Latin trahere meaning “to pull” or “to draw”.
Motive power for a train is provided by a separate locomotive or individual motors in a self-propelled multiple unit. Although historically steam propulsion dominated, the most common types of locomotive are diesel and electric, the latter supplied by overhead wires or additional rails. Trains can also be hauled by horses, pulled by engine or water-driven cable or wire winch, run downhill using gravity, or powered by pneumatics, gas turbines or batteries.
The track usually consists of two running rails with a fixed spacing, which may be supplemented by additional rails such as electric conducting rails and rack rails. Monorails and maglev guideways are also used occasionally.
A passenger train includes passenger-carrying vehicles and can often be very long and fast. One notable and growing long-distance train category is high-speed rail. To achieve much faster operation at speeds of over 500 km/h (310 mph), innovative maglev technology has been the subject of research for many years. The term “light rail” is sometimes used to refer to a modern tram system, but it may also mean an intermediate form between a tram and a train, similar to a heavy rail rapid transit system. In most countries, the distinction between a tramway and a railway is precise and defined in law.
A freight train (or goods train) uses freight cars (or wagons/trucks) to transport goods or materials (cargo). It is possible to carry passengers and freight in the same train using a mixed consist.
Rail cars and machinery that are used for the maintenance and repair of tracks, are termed “maintenance of way” equipment; these may be assembled into maintenance of way trains. Similarly, dedicated trains may be used to provide support services to stations along a train line, such as garbage or revenue collection.
