Aggravation & Tempers Flaring Here
We are all in the same boat in the sense that we are addicts. Therefore, we dont need to be up each other's a$$es about the little things. Im seeing a lot of very negative posts that probably arent helping anyone. THINK before you speak, some people are in a lot of mental and physical pain right now and we should be HELPING each other, not bashing. Yea some people just arent ready to quit or some just dont "get it" but maybe if they continue to read POSITIVE posts here, it could save a life or two. I guess I feel if you cant say something nice......shut yer pie hole. :D
Be kind. Or the people who need help are going to leave. I know I would.

This is my opening maybe you might like to read it......
The Addict
By

Introduction
Meeting the Devil
Addicts are considered nothing but a social stigma walking the earth like zombies, loathed and ostracized by most people.....
They live in insanity amongst demons that seduce them then control and take over their thinking and emotions and once the drug controls the brain it will try very hard to kill the body....
It’s fun in the beginning using drugs until it becomes an obsession and a dependency nothing else matters, nothing......the addict will make victims out of there closest friends and family……….
Core issues are the cause of many addictions, it is a place to run and hide from self perceived danger and pain often perceived by the immature young mind of an adolescent…….
Euphoria is a place which can be only compared to heaven……only it’s not real it’s a staged feeling of seducement by evil……..
To the addict using is like breathing without drugs they cannot breathe….
The insane mind of an Addict is a very scary place. It is a place where monsters live and breathe fire it is a place where Satan himself dwells in all his glory.............

By the way..Just finished Chapter 18 of the old novel...my main character was just lynched outside the Macon, GA Courthouse after being found not guilty of child neglect. I'd tell you more, but I can't give away the whole prospective movie can I??
You know, I can see myself making many of those same pleas and arguments a few months ago. I think I've grown in mind to know what path I have to take to keep sober. You've helped with this plan. I always take what you say to heart, and I always read and understand...I don't always agree..but, if we did I'd be afraid!! Reminds me of a song I heard once..I'm a Pharisee in therapy...my addiction was telling other people's sins..
Your going to have some disagreements people here are hurting there emotions are going a little wild.. there W/D..........
some are in trouble with the law.........
Some just like to start sh**...........

The bickering reminds me that we live in the greatest country in the world where a free exchange (and argument) of ideas between people is not only accepted, but encouraged and required. I read almost every bickering comment on here, thread it through my brain, and output the information I feel useful. So..Go with God..and, continue thine bickering...
I will do the same for you.Yeah, the first few days are a bi+ch but we all know how that goes and then its gone. I know a few more days seems like forever but itll pass SOON! Ive kicked at home hundreds of times and I know it SUCKS BAD! I feel for you sooo much! Im glad youre doing better tho!
Aww, sorry to hear about your friend. But at least you are there for her!! And I do agree, I think it is the best therapy to help others in the same boats as we are.
I am doing much better than 2 days ago. Still tapering, but at least I am doing that. It has taken me soo long to just get to that!
But the more I stay in here, and read, post keeps me occupied and focused on my goal. :)
I will say some prayers for you, your friend! :)
Am glad to hear though you are feeling so great! very positive! That is awesome!

Im doing SO GOOD right now! Yesterday I took my (not so doing well) friend to the ER to get her some (non-opiate based) help b/c shes kicking methadone and really sick and needed someone. Having her need me helped me sooo much and I pretty much spent my entire day actively with her and with my bf.
Hows it going for you??

I am not an enabler. Most definitely not. I wont put up with any bs and I call it like I see it and am not afraid to speak my mind. Im not giving you $hit, just all the fighting in general is getting on my nerves and is very childish. This is a place for help, right? And Ive seen you post plenty of help since my short time here and Im sure a LOT of people appreciate it. All Im sayin is that some people are a bit more emotionally sensitive right now because of what theyre going thru and youve been clean for some time so youre not going thru the physical pain anymore like they are. Maybe keep that in mind? Try to bring yourself back to that time and place where you were a few years back dealing with what a lot of us are dealing with and remember how you felt. But it wasnt completely directed at you, actually it was something else that got me postin' that message.
well said...but nothing is going to stop certain people from their holier than thou opinions. Best to spot those types of people and not even read their posts at all.
I understand your point but becareful with enabling.........
Also in the 7 months I have been here you have some bickering every couple of months........
Addicts like to defend addicts and addiction will always fight to stay active and strong............
Truth also can cut like when Father Marion threw holy water on Regan.........
