Of course... Trala could also try being ever so slightly 'nicer' as WELL... (I believe that to be actually PART of any 12 step Program)

 

[hooleydooley]

Yeah Witty. Time to drop it.

TOO TRUE

I was sick to my gut, when it was just being dragged up and dragged up! I was not wanting to post!
You are a good egg Mooseface, although you entertain the reep. I am glad you posted here and hope you still will. I know creep is in lockdown in his own thread LOL - and and I am glad WAVES TO CREEPY REEPY - Looser - 13 - 13- 13 - 13 -13 shhhhhhh

Well Thankyou hooley. I am of course happy with being a good egg. (As presumably are you). MUCH, MUCH better than being a baaaad egg.

Well, re Reepbot... I just don't find Reepbot as ... 'whatever' ... as others do. He has never been worse than provocative. To me, at least. And if that, then reasonably politely. And I have seen others definitely be much more provocative. And impolite. And coarse. And wrong.

But I think luckily most people are probably good eggs once you find the right recipe.

You can comment. Live and let live. Living a 'spiritual' life ... ( part of any 12 step program I think) as far as I understand it means means curbing ego and some natural aggression and adopting more of a 'live and let live' attitude.

Thankfully I have a loving, productive, beautiful, hard working 25 year old boy to prove when we know better, we do better. Raising him right has been my greatest success.

And that right there is all that matters. The past is just that. This isn't a suck up post or anything. But you gave your child the greatest gift in life and all the tools to be the healthy grown up he is when you made him feel he was enough for you to change and enough to create magic in his life that you were never given.

Every child wants to be made to feel special and I can promise you there are many children who wish they had a mother like you. Talking from my upbringing experience where my mother was at times physically abusive but mostly emotionally and mentally draining and damaging, I would have given anything to feel a tiny ounce of worth from her. But that's in the past now and I'm thankful we have a good relationship as adults. And that's the point of bringing up my past, because we can't always be stuck there. We grow as people and like you said we better ourselves.

12 Step Program saved me from me, and helped me break the cycle of addiction and pointed me in the right direction for support regarding my broken mental health. I even spent a whole year completely agrophobic! I still have spells of depression and anxiety, but thankfully I have the tools (including meds) to manage it.

Thanks, Glen. Even all this time on sobriety still gives me a sense of pride.

Trala.
You are the strongest person i have ever encountered with these dilemmas and conditions.
Congratulations on your never ending battle to maintain a healthy life for you and family.
I am truly in awe and proud to know you.
Wow.
Your friend,
Glen

 

[AntiGretel]

I actually had to block him. His constant "you used drugs while pregnant" (which I openly shared on this forum is my greatest shame and regret) was affecting me. He looks for your tender spot, then exploits it to cause you the most hurt. Thing is, I know what I did, and I have to live with that every day. Thankfully I have a loving, productive, beautiful, hard working 25 year old boy to prove when we know better, we do better. Raising him right has been my greatest success.

hopefully the Banter from Witty will Piss Off now ........ The moving on stage has happened and well, we all deserve a second chance and you have had that 22 years on ....

I won't be taking advice from anyone who turns a blind eye to Trala's sordid behaviour in here. You might be foolish enough to drink Trala's 12 step kool-aid baloney, but read it:

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Seriously, if you think Trala's fixation with the sex lives of strangers on an internet forum is following God's will you need to get a grip. You, Hooley, were and are Trala's disciple, but preaching to the unconverted is ridiculous and turning a blind eye to her revolting behaviour is clear. When have you ever called her out for misbehaviour. The thought of Trala passing even 3 of 12 is fanciful, as is the thought of following the advice of people who lack the spine to put her in her place. You are just displaying your own malleability to buying her garbage.

 

[Witty Banter]

Looser

Sums the education divide in here up, really.

 

[AntiGretel]

You are just displaying your own malleability .

Last occasion i chose to display my own malleability, i copped a restraining order to NOT GO within 500 metres of complainant, i copped a $2500 fine and i copped 30 days in the Central Lock up - - -Which really really offended me an pissed me right off !!
THIRTY fucking days !!!
Furious !
I know for a fact that my malleability, at full mast ( good angle ) was worthy of at LEAST ninety days in the Central Lock up

With all due respect... And without taking ANYTHING away from Trala, I suspect there are really quite a few who you have encountered in daily life/forum life with these dilemmas and conditions who you simply do not/would not/could not realise had them. (I currently work in this field). I do not mean any disrespect, I simply mean there are a lot of people who are due more respect. But sadly -for various reasons - shame gets in their and others way.

That may or may not be the case

Who is to know for sure?

We all fight a battle of some kind

I knew NONE of the revelations Trala shared today

So i responded based on HER admissions, not third party rhetoric or innuendo or SILENCE

Well done to her

It's an invitation to her Pity Party, and you're invited! It's just her circular and overplayed victim and adversity phoenix cards routine, putting her off-limits to basic scrutiny of her childish, entitled behaviour. Happy pity party Trala.

I guess that since the context of the conversation was Trala that's all that's really relevant. Props to anyone who overcomes anything really. I tend to feel that what goes on in the lives of others should never detract from what a person achieves or overcomes or experiences in their own life.

It's like when people say not to complain because others have it worse. It's good to have that perspective of course, but it's completely irrelevant to what the individual is going through.

Sorry, not having a go at you at all and I know you said you didn't want to take anything away from Trala, but the truth is other people are kind of irrelevant to this particular topic. But by all means people can and should share their stories here if they wish.

Had to laugh at that Glen. You dag.

Sure Jessygirl.
I guess I think while other people were not necessarily the Topic At Hand, they are nevertheless not irrelevant. I know when I read of others addiction troubles I think also of those of my own family and friends. There but the Grace of God go I.... And until you have walked a thousand miles in another's shoes... Etc.

 

[Mooseface]

Also... As far as I understand - any 12 Step program worth its salt does not focus on the individual, but on the community.

 

[jessy_girl]

No, that makes sense, I guess that yeah they were still relevant to the overall topic. As you know yourself, these types of adversities (as well as many others) are all around us and not always where you suspect.

Again, it's like that mentality about not complaining because others have it worse, imagine telling someone not to be so happy with their life because others have it better or have achieved more etc, it shouldn't make a difference to how the individual is feeling.

But I digress.

Do you think someone should be able to cast damning moral condemnation of others when their own decisions and actions are objectively far worse?
