I was the second person said to have given a hard time, I didn’t think that you or I were out of order and I sought counsel from other people at the time with regards to my responses and assured that I had acted within reason.
Would I do it differently if in the situation again? Absolutely – I wouldn’t bother commenting in the first place, just let the person be mollycoddled and tools what they wanted to hear.

My gym hasn’t been particularly busier or anything, which is unusual. There’s usually a rush of New Years Resolutioners for a few weeks and then they fade away, but I haven’t noticed any uptick today or yesterday. Just the same familiar faces. I’m fine with it, since it means I can use the equipment I want when I want to use it.

Ditto! I wondered why it was so empty tonight!

I am in good company then. We few, we merry few. We band of brothers. He who stood with me this day, is my brother.
And yet, the post remains, unflagged, and unchallenged. Indulged and validated. A bit of subtle slander and libel, that we are advised to let go. Turn the other cheek, so to speak.
I guess a double-standard, is a standard.

Well okay, no use drinking the poison that you intend for someone else to consume.
I got respect for you and there’s if ands or buts attached to it.

No, I commented on it before to offer a little clarification on the matter. It’s not something I will lose any sleep over, talking of which it’s bedtime.

I feel like this app, meditation and yoga are forms or CBT in their own right, well for me anyways, as I know I’ve changed the neural pathways in my brain using these wonderful tools : ) I don’t think CBT is only done/achieved through professional or medical means. Regardless of this though, you’ve done an amazing job at living life in recovery and being a wonderful guide and example of the blessings of sobriety in here, thank you so much for that @SassyRocks

Double ditto…heading over shortly, so will see if that changed. Plus the snowbirds soon.
Are you suggesting the thread should be removed or closed? I also took a big hit on it (which is becoming fairly commonplace this week, so perhaps the blow is lessening). I stand by my actions and posts, but the OPs experience is their experience, so I am reflecting on her post and how I can handle future interactions more compassionately.

Was the original post flagged & deleted? Or deleted at her request? Or am I just not seeing it? Challenging to read a reflection without the original post…
