I am in recovery and although my way has gotten me nothing but heartache and pain. I appreciate your support but I do not need you to try to tell me what to do. I am not your child. I will accept a suggestion but not in the form of a command or an order.
Remember its not what you say…
IT’S HOW YOU SAY IT!
Peace and Blessings

No one pissed me off. This is a general statement for ANYONE who thinks that because they might have more clean time than others that they can dictate to them what they should do. That is not how recovery works.

Aaah, ok. It’s just. Well actually, having read your next post too, I might as well say it out loud: I am worried a little about you. In the last week, week and a half (?) your post suddenly seems to contain anger that I do not know from you. Not that I know you very well but it just seems that you are very angry and (exactly) not saying what it is about. If not, please disregard this reply but, I don’t know, your quotes, they meet me as ‘generally angry’.
You say: ‘a general statement for ANYONE who thinks that because they might have more clean time than others that they can dictate them what they should do.’ That meets me as a pretty angry statement. Using language to generalise something normally points at big anger or somebody lying (not calling you a lier!) I get the ‘general statement for ANYONE’ because I asked you if you were pissed with somebody or me and you want to point out you are not. So I sort of get the ‘unpersonal’ use of words you use there. But then you continue with de-personalising your statement with the words of ‘thinks that’, ‘they’, ‘might have’ (casting doubt on ‘them’) – these are all words that people tend to use when they want to put distance between themselves and the subject. People do that when, as I said, they are very angry or lying (example: ‘I did not have sex with that women.’) And you continue with ‘dictate’ – not really a word that is uncharged or free of judgement. So, that’s how it meets me. And I hope I am wrong, and maybe I should mind my own business. Maybe I should do both. 😉 It’s just, again, it meets me as angry and that worries me because that has been so for a longer time.
You might want to trow up a quote on ‘minding ones own business’ now. 😉

Please stop trying to read into what I post. When I am angry I have no area posting that I am angry. What I post is how I see things at the moment. It could be something that rubs me the wrong way or I could be happy. It could be something I saw done to someone else. Whatever the case may be I post it. I dont know why you seem to think my posts are about you when I don’t even know you. I don’t know your name and we do not hang out. Although I appreciate your comments I would appreciate it if you would not keep thinking that I am talking about you or try to tell me what I am feeling. That Is Not Cool.

Pfffff, Eric…. I’m not telling you what you are feeling I am informing you how it meets me and that it worries me. Obviously not needed. Glad to hear that.

So, who rained on your parade? Or more like, peed on it…. Or is it not time to joke about this yet? I noticed that you have put up several quotes that sort of translate to: ‘piss off’. I’m sorry to hear that you are upset. 😦 I do not really understand your quotes, actually, they tell me that you are pissed off and make me feel like I did something I have not been aware of again – that last bit would be my part of the drama ;-). So if I did, please let me know.
