BEAUTIFUL POSTERS your responses make me cry

[birddrops]

Happy to post with you Sylvia, as always.

There is no reason why I would not want to post to/with you. All of us have and deal with some sort of problems in our lives. We are not the judge.

Hope to 'see' more of your posts, OP.

^^^^ love it

I want to add, that whomever I quoted above, I hope you don't ever have to darken the doors of AA, either as a member yourself or accom[anying your children or a dear friend. I had never even heard of AA when I had to go there. And I heard I was a drunk, no different than the woman begging for matches and money at my car door one evening. WHO? ME? I'm the rich fun girl--the same? And they were absolutely right!

Now I'm privileged to have women trust me and give back what was so freely given to me.

I am confused here. I must have missed something that was deleted. ???

I'm rather perplexed by this whole thing....

Congratulations! I am sure it wasn't easy. I think you need a pat on the back. (Pat. Pat.)

Not sure what amends needed to be made...sounds like some sensitivity towards a subject and hurt feelings resulted from subject sensitivity not the actual comment.

I've been to AA meetings in the past with my late father...and was proud to see him stand up and tell his story after he reached 1 year of sobriety....I know it wasn't an easy journey for him...and throughout his life he lost a lot because of drinking. I was also married to an alchoholic who was never able to rise above his demons and give up the booze....while I did not grow up to become an alchoholic like so many children of alcholics do...I did grow up to be an enabler....thus marrying an alchoholic....it consumed our marriage to the point I had to leave because I simply couldn't face that struggle for the rest of my life....perhaps that makes me weak for not sticking it out...but at the same time he didn't have the strength needed to keep me at his side.

Sylvia....I can't imagine anyone not spekaing or associating with you or any other person because they come forward with this type of confession....if they do then it says more about them (and not in a good way) than it does you.

Sylvia, you once posted that you felt sad because you thought no one noticed you. I've always noticed you, but sometimes I want you to be sure of that, so I send you a Hello. I think you've always noticed and you say Hi back.

I don't think any of us want you to feel excluded or not noticed, even if we don't always agree. And I can't imagine anyone shunning you because you've fought a long and difficult battle
