Anger Problem Solved?

Came on this post with clonazapam addiction , which then turned into alcohol issues , then marriage issues. I ranted, lashed out, insulted and made some freinds, lost a few more , but to make a long story short , whatever the outcome is , whether I stay sober ( misserable) or if and when I quit mt pill addiction ( hello anziety ) I gained some valuable insight about myself. See I have always known I have been rude and insulting and even prone to starting fights, just downright an a** ****. but have always just had the attitude, I dont give a **** like me or not I just dont care, I am who I am!! But it was not until I seen it here iooking me right in the face , the humilityof it all I knew I can not go on being this insensitive walking talking timebomb. I made a decission to put a halt to this way of acting/ thinking, By no means am I implying I will be peoples doormat, but each waking day I will be nice to people who deserve it, and walk away from trouble people, unless I have no choice, and never judge anyperson until I know what that person may have or is experiencing with their life. Im glad I came on this site. I got to see myself as others do, and did not like what I seen.     SWAGGER

My nightly connection with Becca, now Im really feelin good, as you stated she has been feeling neglected by the computer. I do need to give/take somewhat, Since my surgery over a year ago I started buying dvds like crazy and I have 100s of them that we have not watched and 100s more to be seen again. I should set aside time for that. I have to work tue thru fri 1.30 to 11.30 pm but thats 3 hrs from pacific time so I dont want to miss your nightly post, 12.00 am would be 9-00 pm in Oregon right? Your around then I hope, I need my Becca fix too!! Girl were do you get all your insight? Also do they have computers at the college or library in Salem? Keep me posted Becca swagg.

Hey guys just checking in. Swag you can friend me and I will accept I don't think I can do the picture thing with my iPhone. Maybe what pepper is saying with out saying it is that she wants to feel as importat as the computer, you should have date night with no computer like in the old days, my ex stopped doing this kind of special stuff with me when we got sober and it was really one of the things that I missed. Just a thought from one woman to one man. Relationships really need nurture in sobriety, a lot of us damaged relationships while using. Come to think of it relationships need nurture regaurdless.
Am I rambling? Went for the first swim of the season withy son Blaise and that felt kind of pro-active. I hope Blaise stays over anouther night.

Sara that aint gonna happen. Ya see shes a money hog, Besides she dont know about spyware, updates- maintainance in general, so it would not be a good idea and she has all the time she needs with this one while Im at work......I say to her , dont mess with my off days, this is my time, she likes watching tv anyway so why all the fuss,  swagg

Ifinally got my laptop back from pepper. I realize what you are saying about the freinds list as the same applies in all aspects in life not just here, but I was only implying that statement because of the privacy issue on pics. My list is in fact growing , this woman name Sara just added to it.......Im clownin Sara.....Thanks. And this cool woman Sway accepted my invite, thanks to her as well, Im sure shes watching! I see pepper called me a computer hog ( guilty ) but oh well this makes me happy and I paid for it. swagg

Im so glad to hear from you Becca , Postage stamp apartment???? You have a very unique way with words and sayings and stuff. I think that is one of the reasons I admire you so much. I hope ( for real ) you get over this deppression thing and start living the life you deserve. BTW, your cupcake remarks the other night made me smile, it was just so ??? I never made a cupcake in my life, but the way you said it , it was hillarious, Im not making fun of it or you, but it touched me. I do hope you stay in touch and I accidently deleted a few people from freinds list, I need you back on it. I know you do this with Iphone, thats gotta be rough , your one tough( cupcake ) Becca.

It really bites to know anyone on the web can see the pics if they by chance happen onto this site and they recognize you. I worry about that and I cant get invites from freinds no more as I accidently deleted some thru the computer changeover. Its quiet here now you must live in a rough part of Minnesota. What you think about pics, give me one last post before you hit the rack.   swagg

I havent posted on the movie thread yet.  I am tired tonight and will be going to bed soon.  I checked out your pics.  It is always fun to see who we are talking too and get a glimpse into their world!!  Work was busy tonight.  We closed early so that was nice.  My neighbors are being loud and obnoxious tonight.  They seem to think we all want to listen to their stupidity.......I may have to yell out the window yet!!!  LOL

Ya mean there is still someone up besides me in the midwest? Im gettin ready to hit the rack soon I suppose. I bought a scanner/printer today and have uploaded a boatload of pics, just keepin busy. Snallpepper done called it a night. Check out my pics if you get some spare time, I could not find some I really wanted to add. I been worried about Becca , she seems to be reaching out for help, shes such a sweet person and I hope she did not do what she was implying, From   her messages and her post she seems very independent and above average in the smarts dept, but them demons still want her back, I dont know what to tell her. Shes gonna do what shes gonna do right? Did you put up a thread about favorite movies? I can go there for days. So how was your work today?      SWAGGER

Hello fellow patriots. I the one who cries when they sing the national anthem. So it's the fourth and I am home of course. I was invited to a BBQ and actually felt a bit like going but I know that there will me pot and lots of booze there and while they aren't my drug of choice I felt it best to not mess around testing my sobriety considering how depressed I have been. Idk maybe I should go get out and eat visit I could always leave if they get to rowdy. Crap I feel d@mned if I do or if I don't.

I know what you mean.  I look at my ridiculous neighbors drunker than all get out, lighting fireworks and not having a clue what this day really means.  All it is to them is a day off and a party.  I also get furious when the flag goes by and caps are not removed and no hand over the heart.  Now i may get angry!!!

Sorry for your loss sara, I hope nobody looks upon my last post as an insult, as it was not directed at nobody personally, its not an angry statement, just simply my observation and thoughts. My father was also burried with full military honors, I myself served and my thoughts and prayers go out to all those who have served. I get kinda teary eyed myself on Veterans day, especially if I see people doing what I mentioned on the first post I made today......swagg

Good mornin to all, I wont say Happy fourth or Merry x mas or any of that stuff because its just like repeating what everyone else says. How about just Happy Day? So is anybody hurting today? Is anybody need to talk ? How about that 4th of July thing anyway, does anybody ( really ) observe it for its true meaning or any holiday for that matter ? I see so many people ( not here of course ) but just out there running around doing the wooo hooo, Happy this or Merry that with out even giving the holidays true meaning a passing thought. I see so many just use the holidays for an an excuse to party and act up. Has any one ever taken the time to salute the vets on veterans day or is it just another day to not have to work and run down and buy cases of keystone and wooo hooo it up ? Has any one truly given thanks for thanksgiving? If you have done so , then I salute you. I know I am just babbling away here , but I woke up this morning thinking about what I will observe tonight in my neighborhood, drinking fighting hooping it up fireworks etc mostly by people whom do not even give  independence or freedom or the birth of our free nation a passing thought. Everyone Have A Happy Day on this Fourth Day of July. And the 5 th and 6th and so on. swag.
