to all the posters, lurkers and anyone else in this forum
I hope we can put our differences aside and strive to be the best people we can be and continue to reach for the stars.

I would like to apologize to any one who's feelings got hurt by anything I said in a thoughtless or angry moment.

I really tried to be kind and even handed in all my responses, but I recognize that emotions ran high in here the last few days. So I'll promise from now on out that I'll do my very best to be kind and supporting to all my fellows in here and I hope you'll forgive me any carelessly cruel remarks.

Peace out

:hi:

1. Thanks for posting this, AZDem.
I'd also like to make amends for
thoughtless remarks I made in this group.

If I hurt anyone, here- I'm sorry.

We can now focus on helping and supporting one another.
After all, we're in this together.

Alcoholism and other addictions are enough of a bitch
to deal with.
We need support, understanding and help.

2. I, also, would like to make amends
If I have hurt anyone's feelings. Immoderation is one of my character defects that I am working hard to overcome.

I really would be interested in listening if anyone has another program that has helped them overcome addiction. As a health professional, I am well aware that there is no one therapy that works for every patient. Sometimes we have to be creative and try new approaches.

Who knows: maybe I'll need yours somewhere down the road.

3. I feel bad that things have taken such a turn.
I feel bad that the owner of this site has to come here and intervene in our squabbles (although I am also grateful for that involvement). I am ashamed that I posted in the earlier locked thread in this forum knowing that I was breaking Group rules and that it was not a good idea regardless. I apologize for that lack of judgment and maturity.

I hope we can get things back on an even keel and put all of this behind us. This is a good forum with an admirable purpose, we should make the most of it.

4. Too bad I didn't remember one of my father's favorite sayings:

Engage Brain Before Opening Mouth.

Words to live by.

I love being sober and want to continue to ACT sober, not just talk about it.


I wish everyone much love and growth on whatever path you choose to sobriety.
