Question, Answer

I've seen a lot of questions asked at this forum yet people decide to preach and give advice while the questions go unaswered because everyone feels it is their duty as a distant peer to act as a parent...

its annoying

thank you for your kind words. I know that I do pray for people BUT that is all I know to do to help people here. If they were neighbors or live in my same area, I may would have more to offer. But at this time all I know to do is offer my ear and pray for someone. I dont think that I have "preached", just trying to help.
amd also M I, I didnt see any preaching posts today either. I seen angel had put some very good bible qoutes on one post and I enjoyed that. If a post offends someone then it MUST BE HITTING A NERVE within their own issues. It didnt bother me, of course, I welcome GOD into my problems and welcome Him to take my burderns.
I pray that everyone here is safe, happy, delivered and that God will allow us all to skip withdrawals. this is for everyone but deeznuts. I dont want to offend him., so I will leave him out of my prayers.
peace to all and God bless

Am I on the prayer list?  I hope so. Actually I pray for all the addicts on medhelp so they get prayed for anyway.
NUTS,  SOME OF US DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME IN SO OUR MINDS MAY NOT BE AS CLEAR AS YOURS. I have 12 days today.

This forum, and people in general, are not here to answer your questions, but to give guidance, usually from personal experience, to help you answer your own question.
My answer is not and will not be your answer, this is not a black and white topic.
If you have a question I would be glad to help, if I can.  But it will not be the answer.

Wow, I must be blind I guess because I just read back through today's chats and I CAN"T see where anyone was flat out ignored or "preached to"!! ~loriegirl, honey...I don't think you owe anyone an apology, we're big kids here, we can choose what we read and what we don't.

What I DO see is personal experience being given to those of us here that aren't sure what to expect now that we've decided to take our lives back! Some of only have "this site" to turn to. We don't have all the answers, but personally I know I try tp pipe in if I ever have anything to add to the pot if I think it could help or offer perspective.

I don't know your story Deez, and I sure am sorry you aren't comfortable with what this site does offer, but I think you may be forgetting ~ this is not a "Medically Monitored" site, all we have are our own experiences and what we've heard through the "addiction grapevine". Some questions may go unanswered because we're NOT dotors!

Plus~ I know for me personally, I have been "personally chatting" with several people who are helping a great deal. So maybe some of the questions you think aren't being answered really are, and you're just not seeing it?

I hope I'm not coming across judgmental, that isn't my intention, it just seems as if you're very upset because you need an answer, but what was the question?

I apologize for praying  for you. I enjoy praying for others. It brings me joy. Just overlook my posts and responses. Never meant to offend you. I will continue to pray for others, I will just exclude your name. If there are others that do not want me to pray for you, just let me know and I will remove your name(s) from my prayer list.
I wish you the best in your recovery, but I will refrain from any preaching/prayer. I never meant to offend you at all. SORRY:)
sorry to be annoying.
