Thank you guys

[what2donow]

Im going to get off of here and get my house clean.For the first time in a while I feel like I have friends.Thank you guys so much for that.You will NEVER know how much that means!I will be back on later after I go to this NA meeting.I am kinda excited about it.For those of you who are concerned I am going to report beach.He may not have ment to but he really got to me.If it wasnt for you guys I would have never came to this site again and that would have been ashamed because I feel like I belong here.I am going to report him not for me,but for other people that come here as scared and screwed up as I am.I dont want him to scare off anyone becuse you never know how what you say negitive to people on drugs is going to affect them.Life and death is in the power of your tongue and I do believe that.In beachtowels profile it says he is becoming an addiction theripst.That is great but I have some advice for him,remember you are no better than anyone else as you were in the same boat just two years ago.And speak life into people.I am finally starting to see through you guys that I am going to make it through this and I have people here that care about me.Thank all of you soo soo much.I will be back on here later so untill then I will miss ya guys!

Yes, Beach can be "Brutal". And yeah, he may scare some people away when he tells them "Unless you go to N/A, you can't recover" and some other assumptions...(some of us think he may be getting N/A recruitment commissions) LOL. But I'm sure he means well. I guess some of us have gotten use to him now.
Every now & then people will get a hair up their *** and do some ranting in this forum. Possibly crankiness due to withdrawls? Whatever.......it's all part of the flow.
Anyway, we're here for you,   even if you feel like ranting.  We'll all listen.
Take care and good luck.
Keep coming back.

Beach if you're out there....  No offense intended bro / uhhhhh bra.... I don't know your ummmmm  sexual orientation.  Sorry!  :)

Can I say something?  Pretty, pretty please?  

Beach has been a major contributor to this forum in many, many ways and I simply think that there must have been an "internet misunderstanding" because he means well and as far as I know, always has.  He/She really is about helping others and it's hard for me to think that he "attacked" you in some way.  It happens all the time on the internet.  We either say or interpret things that were not intended (usually interpret).  That's why we use :)  LOL :(     and so forth.... To show our emotions and/or intent.  

what2donow... Is there anyway this could have been a misunderstanding or in someway Beach was just trying to be brutally honest with good intentions?  I don't know the whole story but I have been around long enough to know that his intentions are good (at least as far as I can interpret).    :)  

Please don't put me in the same boat... I'm just playing moderator here and maybe I shouldn't be doing that.  I just like to see things peaceful and feel that when things are not that it is my job to try and smooth things out.  It's in my character and all facits of my life.  It's how I'm built ya know...  :)

Just asking.   :)  You take care and I really, really hope the best for you.  

Best Wishes!
God Bless!

Hang in there sweetie.  I was addicted for 6 years, and have been 9 months clean.  Just had the first birthday sober that I have had in all that time, and it was fantastic.  DO NOT let a slip up change your mind.  I did the same thing - If you have it around it is going to be so much harder.  I did taper under a doctor's supervision, and I gave them to my husband and he gave them to me.  I cannot tell you how proud I was when I got to 1/4 mg. that last week and realized finally, after all that time, I was going to be OK.  And I was.  I did feel like **** with every decrease in dosage, but it was not unbearable.  I came on here looking for help for my sister, who I think may have a whole other issue, and I wish I had found this months ago.  Oh well, maybe I can help someone else.  Like I said, please do not give up.  I feel great again, like my old self, and I am finally proud of me.  Take care and God bless.
