OK what the hell sparked everyone to go mental??? What the hell did i say yesterday to cause such an camotion???????????????
Holy ....
Whatever it is i think its caused some great misunderstanding.
If its about me sayin that i wasnt sure i wanted to post what happend last night because of coments i didnt really wana hear... It wasnt the usual stuff.. .it was to do with my mum almost havin a panic attack cos she was worried that i might be commiting suicide when infact i was actualy out having a great time fishing. It was about me coming home to find her in tears. It was about me and my mum talking about our addiction. It was about me telling my mum that i had been to a few aa meetings and that i was gona be going back to them on a more regular basis.. . it was about mum asking me about them and what happens and what aa was like.. It was bout me telling her what i knew so far.. it was about me talking to her about us maybe both going.
The above was the "landslide" i mentioned.
If on the other hand it was about my rather incoherent, tired way of trying to say that i was not gona post on here saying that i was gona go to whichever meeting etc etc. Then i think people probalby misunderstood what i was saying.. If i make the decision to go to every meetin for a week for example then im not gona say that im planning to do that.. i would rather say at the end of the week that i had done that and what i had learned etc.. I
Btw i didnt read any of the stuff i now see was edited.
I realy dont need anyone to tell me to get off my bottom (impressed?) and do aa etc.. i think thats all been said. And i know its true.
I will post questions if i have any sensible ones. I will try to refrain from talking about my day untill i am a regular visitor of aa.
I understand that its not just about not drinking.. i now understand that AA is about conditioning my mind to help me stay off drink not just not drinking.
OK i said more than i had intended too.
Now if this explosion of posts to me is for some other reason then please will someone tell me what that is..
Thanx to everyone who cares, i know its all about that and i appreciate that.
I hope everyone is having a great day out there today. Mine so far has not been too bad.
You are regular mate and always welcome in my book.
AA has never turned its back on me. Man I am a bit upset this eve as my dog needs to be put to sleep tomoz.
way I see it rob, if you cant say how alcohol is effecting your life here, where can you do it? - nowhere, ,keep coming, say what is going on- I do. thing is I choose to read youre words, if I found them upsetting I could choose not to read them, but the plain and simple fact is, out there with out AA you will be poorly, if you are anything like me, my life didnt get better until I started going to meetings and practising the steps.
This is not a lardy dar chat page, this is alcoholics annonymous, we are all on the same vessal.
I couldnt hold back a smile Rob... when I read your post...and the part about..."Everyone Mental?" And the answer from me is..."Derned Tootin Mate." Thats why I'm here... Its getting better tho.....and should be OK by the year 2050...maybe...:) You have a good night eh....I gotta go find some more bananas
Hey Phil
good to hear from you mate, hows tricks! Banannas are great for boosting the serotonin,have you ever seen a sad monkey?
Im the most mental here! correct me if im wrong L :)
Just a little topic hijacking, and some folks putting personalities before principle. Nothing to worry about, Alcoholics do that sometimes. If you've heard the saying some are sicker then others, now you'll know what they mean. Bob.

Its ok Dori.. Your post was fine, thanx. I am wondering if i should check out alanon too cos of my parents drinking cos that eats away at me though im hoping i can get my mum to a meeting... not that i dont want my dad well too, its just i dont think hed be too willing, certainly not for the time being. Thanx for everything you said actualy. I know everyone wants the best for me. Im sober right now btw. You take care of yourself too.
Whatever it was, it is OVER.... no one's in the hot-seat, so no whirling needed. No one is on the spot. No one's in the hot-seat.
A couple of posts were directed toward ME... not anyone else, and only because of the use of extensive profanity, were the posts edited out by the moderator(s). I did not find it necessary to respond, so some late-comers to the 'drama' may have been confused.
As for me, I was not at all bothered or damaged by what was said... again.. it was directed to me, so no one need be concerned now, as it is over and gone... now, lets get back to recovery!!!
