Stop the hurting!!!
by FesterTool, Dec 02, 2002 12:00AM
Hey,
I've been comming her to this forum for a good while now. I was helped to get over a terrible addiction with methamphetamine and misc. pills. They also helped me get over the death of my mom. (God bless.) I'm still being helped here with life. Stories and encouragement from all the people here make me stronger everyday. I was welcomed with open arms by people such as: Bmac (Bill), Hippy, Cincee, and Pixi. Why isn't everyone else given the same oppurtunity?
Reading the post from the other day, I felt my insides turn upside down. It made me feel sick. All of us turning on each other with hateful comments and others fueling the fire! Why!
I understand both sides of the fight but it needs to stop nevertheless. I hope we can change all this.
Staycool!

Thomas, I understand where you were comming from. I too watched Marposa turn away addicts who were finally willing to get help, which we all know is hard to do. But Marposa, I think, didn't quite understand what they were going through, until now. I don't disagree with you that she had it comming, but maybe it could have been done a little more discretely to avoid more confrontation and more hurt feelings. And all of us are hurting enough already. I just dont want people to start veering away from this forum that has helped so many, and still has so much to give, just because they saw some negativity to addicts. I hope you understand my thoughts.
Marposa, Thomas is not trying to run you off, just make you see what you've dont to others. Think about all the people that have came to you for help. Don't take this the wrong way. Just remember.
Next, I want to know if we can get Marposa and Thomas to "Shake hands", so to speak. Just make up. I'm sure this would be a good step towards "Forum Peace."
Staycool!

Are you ok?
I thought going off bup was not as hard as other narcs, but I don't have any personal experience, and from how you sounded, it is is just as bad.
talk to us,
love,

Raven - I never said I wasn't using. I've always been open about using Buprenex. Thanks for your input though...it's nice to know you are so interested in my well-being.
As for Thomas, I feel sorry for him that he is still so filled with hateful anger - especially when it is directed toward some stranger. It seems an awful waste of energy. I can't apologize more than I have...holding grudges is for people with nothing to do, and as you can tell I have plenty on my plate right now.
However, may I ask that the past experiences between you and thomas be forgiven by each, and they essentially die a permanent death right here and now, with no followups pertaining to this ancient subject?
(Key phrase - no follow ups...)
Lots of new folks here who need help from both of you veterans...
Thomas
