MESSAGE FROM MED HELP

The nasty remarks will stop NOW!  

In addition, please stop using up a "question" for comments.  The doctor only sees and replies to questions.  Because the doctor's time is limited, we have to limit the number of new questions we allow each day.  When you guys use up a question "slot" for your opinions & comments, you've taken away the chance for a person with a question to get help.

Hope you are all great. I am FINE! I will post again when things are back to normal here (the forum).....Not sure I understand all the controversy, or what is going on???????

Anyone else reading-YOU CAN QUIT, it really, really just takes lots and lots of patience-but it is all worth it, right Anne?

I am not a patience person, but I think enough time is gone that I can say I AM SO GLAD I SOMEHOW found it in me! :>)

What bothers me more than the comments is the changing of handles. Expillman posted about the loss of his wife in May. Cosmicstargoat posted about losing his wife in May on his own web site. I'm sorry to use such a tragic loss as an example here, but that's all I've got.

Thomas, what are you trying to prove?  I never attempted to disguise my identity.  Your bring up my deceased wife and PROLONGING THIS THREAD IS DESPICABLE and shows me that there is rampant hypocrisy running through this Forum.  I ran a ruse for one day.  It got out of hand.  I took responsibility.

Now, Thomas do you want to talk about it some more?  This web site is about the most HACKABLE that I have ever seen, it's wide open.  I would never do such a thing, but if my only motivation was to wreak havoc, it would be easy to do.

Now, answer my question if you have a modicum of integrity in your body.  Why did you RESSERECT this thread after it was settled earlier this afternoon.

DON'T DO IT guys!!!  It's way too much fun sitting here watching BMac's head spin.  Think I'm gonna email him some split pea soup and he will give us all a great show. Oh wait, that movie's already been done hasn't it. *sigh*  Give me time, I'll think up another reason ...... consider yourselves warned. LOL :)

Whatever the intent, changing handles obviates what little accountability we have on the forum. Even worse, it sews the seeds of distrust, making many of us reluctant to help people who often find this forum at the lowest point in their lives.

Speak your mind, but sign your work.

Hi, I haven't been on in a couple of days and just read this thread and went back and read the comments under Suboxone. I couldn't really follow all the back and forth insults, but it seemed to me that at the beginning there was some undercurrent of people implying that they weren't addicts and were on pain meds because of pain only, and some people reacting like those people think that they are better than those who call themselves "addicts"  And I think I saw that in another thread. Am I wrong? Is that one of the things that comes up in this forum? I felt shocked when I thought that I detected that, as if some people on this forum think there is something "wrong" and "bad" and "less than" about being an addict, or as some say, "having the disease of addiction." (I know there is a rational recovery faction here, which is why I hesitate to say "The disease of addiction.") I'd like to hear from people whether this is something that comes up in this forum, or if I'm just misunderstanding.It occurred to me at one point that some people might be trying to make a differentiation between people who need pain management but don't have to worry about sureptitiously taking a couple more here and there because they are not addicts. And that these people were pointing this out because it's important to know if you have to watch that in yourself, not because you can feel better or worse than others.  It matters to me, in that I'm not only an addict myself (though not struglling now with anything but chocolate), but I work with people who are addicts and I'm reading the forum for help for myself and them. I think it is very unhelpful for people to have to deal with any kind of better-than attitudes regarding being an addict or not. Everyone has their problems.
Or... is the main conflict in this forum about some people acting like they know more and therefore they are better than other people on the forum, and other people taking offense at their "know-it-all" attitude? hope you can follow my rambling..thanks for listening.

Sybill?, I am married(for a short time) to a multi-*****!
It is hell except the sex part. It's like having a girlfriend and a wife and you never know which babe is next. Life is good hey MrM?
And yes I would defend our right to be here and I think Cindy has put up with alot from me here and I know why I am still allowed to comeback after all the warnings because I really deeply care about these people who have no one to turn to because of the bias in the medical profession. I lost sight of that last night and lost my head. How many times have I done this same thing with GroovyButterFlyGirl and Her sidekick GHB(I know it's GWH) I was making a joke Diane! LOL
Anyway MrM, Thomas, Kurt, Stargoatman and everyone else, we came, we whipped ass, now lets go back to helping ourselves!Please guys! Bill

I wouldn't doubt if Kurt Cobain was Groovy, and Cosmicgoat dude was one of her friends.
She always seems to come up with unusual suedo's, writes books when she posts, and never really uses capital "i's" along with other telltale signs I have noticed.
Plus she has been gone for a few weeks.
Just a hunch.
Whether I a mright or wrong doesn't matter. I presume they have already been banned before already , so I sure hey aren't worried about it. As they haven't even sid anything in regards to getting banned.
Either way they have been on the forum before under different suedos, that is for sure. They know WAY too much.
They know the game........................................

Sorry to break in, but Hippee mentioned smart recovery Vs. AA in one of his posts, and I didn't know that smart recovery was anything more than merely the two words. Is it an organization? Or an idealogy? If so what is the difference with it and AA/NA?
Just curious, thanks.

"It was so completely obvious who cosmicstargoat really was"

So, it would then be obvious that there was no deception.  That settles one issue, doesn't it?
