I have kept my mouth shut as long as I can & that's VERY hard for me to do. I'm not a regular here, thank God, I stay where I feel safe, Crystal Recovery. Even though I stray from time to time.

Over here, I feel like an outcast. I posted something a while back, I knew that no one would reply, but I did it anyway. Boy, was there A LOT of lookers, but only 2 or 3 repliers. I don't care, just proved a point to myself. If you're not in the "click" over here, then you're just gonna be ignored, shunned, put aside, whatever you want to call it.

ALL of you can disagree with me, I really don't care...this is supposed to be a place where people can feel comfortable, supported, UNDERSTOOD...etc

You know, I think it's funny..sometimes, not all the time, you'll read where a recovering addict will smart off to a loved one because the loved one didn't say something right about addiction, blah, blah, blah...but take notice...who supports the newbies, what few there is, try to give them encouragement to make it through the struggle???????????? hmmmm, doesn't take a guiness to figure that one out does it!?!?

I really don't know if it's where some recovering addicts that have been here for years are just tired of explaining things to newbies over & over or what. Well, I'm sorry..you've been in their shoes & how would you feel if it were you again? I don't want anyone to answer these questions, it's just what is coming out of my head. Anyway...

Just read the other day where a guy said he'd thougth about killing himself..then I read a reply the next day that said, well I see you didn't kill yourself. All I could think was WTF!!?? I have been in that state of mind of killing myself when I was 12yrs old & I lost my mom...boy, if someone had just said that to me...wonder what could have happened!?!? Don't care if it was a joke, wanting to kill yourself isn't a joke, just like being a drug addict isn't a joke either.

IMO...if you don't have something encouraging, supportive or helpful to a struggling addict...just don't say anything at all. Being mean to someone isn't always the answer...oh sorry, I mean giving tough love..the raw, true facts.

I'm a loved one & I have feelings to. Been put through h3ll by a meth addict sister, not your h3ll..my own personal h3ll. Sometimes we want people who understand, who've been there, etc..just like the addict needs. We're all in this together...no one should be singled out.

I'm coming to a close, I promise...I've read where some have said that Luv only wants attention & what not...well, that's your all's opinion. I really enjoy reading Luv's posts. She always shows kindness & finds good in bad situations. All this about Luv....truth told, a lot of you all are rude a$$ jerks...hardly ever hear anyone saying something about that...hmmm

I feel sorry for the addict wanting help that comes here, most of the time..all they'll click to find is arguing & bickering back & forth. Wonder how Robert is? Wonder how Robbie is? Wonder how CaliCPA is? Hmmm, who else?

IMO..if the "regulars" are gonna argue all the time, then I would think it's time to move on before there's an anger management appointment made. To me, arguing doesn't help recovery.....does it? If so....THEN WE'RE ALL HEALED..lol

I just wanted to get this off my chest & this is the way that I feel. I'm not meaning everyone either.

Can't wait to see the replies on this one....lol Remember, it's my opinion written here, not yours.
