I hate to sound all whiny but I have posted several things on here today (needing advice and sharing an accomplishment) only one person responded on one post. This doesn't feel like a support group to me. I have posted on dozens of other people's, wanted to support them. It kind of reminds me of some of my friendships, one way street. Sorry done whining now!
Hey I that's not true !! Sorry you feel that way ... I try not to let bother me ... Hope your ok .... And doing well ... 48 days clean and I check this instead of drinking .. Reading other people's stuff seems to help me .. And sharing sometimes .. I try not to expect much and find happiness myself ..trying not to expect much ... All the best x
We live in such a fast society sometimes things take time ... Before I phones etc ... You would wait for letters or phone calls !! Hang in there x
Thank you very much Sobertoday for seeing me :)
Hey lady- I know what you mean! Sometimes I post at odd hours and it will take all day to get responses. It can be pretty stressful, especially if this is your only source of support (it is for me) I hope you are doing well today!
Thank you iamcj, today is awesome!!!!!
Hello healedbyfaith, how are you? I know how u feel on firendship thing. Your no alone though.I know it feels like that at times, if the friendships are one way streets then how much of friends are they? I myself am trying to look to God for strenght..just remember ppl will always dissappoint u where he wont. That's just how I look at it. If u need to talk there are ppl here to help, even if it;s just talking.
Thanks KgBad!!! I have been leaning on God a lot as well. He has gotten me through a lot and I know he will get me through this. It is just nice to have support!
Healed by Faith - I have felt the very SAME way MANY times. i guess sometimes people post and sometimes they don't... weekends are traditionally slow to get responses.
yeah - sometimes i get annoyed as well. i guess we have to be patient.
in some cases i've formed relationships via email or private message with some members which is sometimes helpful.
... all that to say, i know what you mean... we want responses... look forward to them.. need them.. to recover.
all the best,
caroline
This supportgroups.com was my first time reaching out ever when it comes to alcoholism so I think that is why I was so down when I got no responses But I got many over night. So glad I have them to read this morning. Thank you Caroline.
No problem healedbyfaith, I have dr appt today cause i had an anxiety attack last thursday. Maybe they will keep me on a nerve pill, I odnt want any anti-depressants..im not depresed. I just have issues with being nervous over things. I am going to wear my helmet of salvation,shield of rightesness, and carry the swrod of truth. I think i have some typos there.lol. I have messengers too if ppl want to stay in contact more as also being on here. We are all childen of God and need each other. :D
Good luck at the doctors today! So glad to hear your strength this morning!
Good luck at the doctors today! So glad to hear your strength, you inspire me!
Went to doctor today. I will be on zoloft and xanax for anxiety. Luckily it's cheap cost. But above all I am trying to stay positive and look to GOD to provide. I love him so much. Thanks for support groups like this that ppl can share there stories because there is alway someoene going thru something and some are going thru the same thing u are. It helps and together we can sociallby help each other.Thanks ppl. Sorry , looks like i spell things wrong all the time..lol
That is great KgBad!! I love your positive attitude, it rubs off on other people!
Yea, staying positive is good for mentality even if things are not great. Hopefuly with this medicine I wont be so nervous and anxious over things..even silly things.I think through support of other whether it's online or in person, great friendships can form. And i thank you too for helping support ppl and I know ppl can help support you as well. This is a pretty good forum for support.:D:D
unfortunately many people struggle with self centered-ness (me especially) but if you ever just need to rant, PM me. It's just easier to connect one to one. hang in there.
