Hey friends. I posted this in another chat room as well and am sharing it here too. My family of origin knows little about me these days. But my recovery family knows much and I love you all.
I do not claim to be amazing nor perfect, unique or outstanding. I am just an alcoholic trying to live one day at a time as a spiritual being in a human body.

The post went as follows...

This really is foolish jibber jabber. Name calling and slang terms are just as previlent in the real world as they are in this domain. I prefer chelle's re and Jadee's. Be I a realmite or chatter is of no ones concern but for those threatened by change or competition to which I might ask. If one meeting be it AA or NA or SA or OA or CA or whatever began talking ill of another group who pays?

Monty has done an outstanding job here as Skye has in the realm also. Both sites I believe as well as countless others like it are an island in the storm to those seeking others to chat with suffering from whatever it is that has them down. Lest we forget why we came here in the first place. Both sites have plenty to offer and it is sometimes what you bring that reflects what you get. I care about both sites and enjoy visiting both.

In the early days of AA it all began with one alcoholic talking to another. Then that fellowship began to grow. As the numbers mounted the personalities differed and new groups were born either because of those differances or for the simple fact to bring the messege closer to home such as the guy in Canada that wrote to NY for help. Whatever the case maybe some names were given either in fun or to hurt. I can not claim others motives for either. But one mission remained clear. That all in their own way shape and form shared a common threat and a common solution and they carried the messege.

"That perhaps even though they came to scuff they may stay to pray."

In my experience when I am casting stones at another I am really fearful of losing something I have or think I have or not getting something I want or think I want. In the end if I am honest about it it all boils down to acceptance and allowing others to walk their path without my expectations or resentments cloud their way. And I usualy find that what bothers me the most is my seperating myself from God's will while trying to justify mine.

See you around the rooms.   Glenn H
