Looks like I ruffled a few feathers!! Sorry. I don't plan to push my business on this board, since I know the importance and significance of staying on topic when dealing with sobriety. I did bring it up thou, since I feel my family and IT will not survive alcohol. If I do have success, I will only pass along any positive, constructive, and optimistic learning’s….such as:
ACHIEVENMENT----Unless you try to something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
Actually dealing with all the negative posts that I generated, is helping me stay sober. It is very hard to face rejection and continue on in any journey…. It would have been easier to slink (or buzz) off and said "Why Bother".

Thanks RIC for the most positive reply...wanna buy a tupperware helicopter? Just kiddin
That's the alkie spirit I love... the spirit that strives for success - despite whatever apparent odds... and the survivors spirit, that helps us to move quickly through things and find something to smile about and be grateful for.
I have a feeling you and your tupperware helicopter are gonna feel real at home here, real quick! You could probably park it next to Phil's turnip truck...
Today I have decided to try and give up the cigs. 20 years of smoking can't be that hard to turn my back on, after finding sobriety and dragging myself kicking and screaming into AA and the real world...or so I thought. Instead, I am beginning to think I am slowly going nuts again. Have been wandering around like a zombie and just can't think straight. Am literally walking in circles trying to work out what on earth I'm supposed to be doing.
The steps make sense as long as I have them in my hand. I feel like a little lost lunatic again, as soon as I put them down and go and try to do stuff...Ah, it can only get better.
If I appear to live on this board for the next couple of days, it is because I really need to be here. Keeps the hands busy and injects a bit of life into my somewhat spaced out head...Truth be known, I have actually moved in, and can be located in the little box on the bottom left... I think I might be the yellow one ...but will let you know for certain once the nicotines out of my system.
No feathers ruffled here!! Glad your back. I wish u well !! Put the tupperware helicopter on E-BAY, thats where it belongs ( maybe I'll buy it) If it would keep u or i sober i would definitely buy it
I wasn't rejecting you at all,,,, I was telling you about some boundaries we have. I am also glad you did not just leave, but are back to share our recovery journey.
