Harsh Responses

[Firefaery1023]

When I first started on this forum, I noticed that everyone was so nice.  I have noticed lately that some people have said some things that seem to be a little harsh to people that are trying to get off of their DOC.  I just wanted to let people know that everyone here is reaching out to get help and that we don't want to be turning people away when they are asking for help.  I am not sure if people mean to be harsh or if it just is hard to tell because it is over the computer.  Could we just read our responses before we post them to people's questions so that we don't turn anyone away?
Thanks!
Fire

well said Mike..!!! There are many roads to the goal..

Puranx- i really doubt the majority of the people on this site don't already know that it isn't a bed of roses..pretty much we all know that already..and we all know the truth about being an addict. many of us have seen the light already on that one..

Knowone needs to show you proof or examples of this happening!  So many people see this happen and even go through it.  Just because you feel that being harsh is a good way to get through to someone does not mean that it is the best way for others.  

It seems that most others agree with the original post, As I...  This is my first post on here for about 2 months just in part of the fact of people just bashing one another!  It sickens me how vulgar and explicit people can be to others that are sick.  I hope that everyone searching for help gets what they need.  

Take care.. Will

Thanks for the added input!  We are all different and some people do think that their way is the only way to go.  I know that I went c/t and relapsed a few times before it had stuck for me.  I could never taper but some that works for and some of us need to use sub.  There are different solutions for each one of us and we all need to remember we are either here to get help or give support and some sort of way.  Most of us are addicts of something if we are here.

Exactly what fire said who are we to judge. I for sure will not throw the first stone...

And just remember the majority here are addicts as I speak for myself an addict but I do know that diversity make the world go around and feel open minded to alot. I hate when their are people who believe their way the only road to the destination but I ignore those after taking all into consideration and examing the way it is written or the like. Please anyone who feels pushed away don't let one or two bad apples ruin the whole package for you. Remember we are here for ourselves as well as each other. Mike
