ok, i didnt mean my post as a personal attack.
my understanding is when you want to have an off topic conversation then use pm.
but really it is just my thought and what i have observed in the past here. i could be incorrect when it comes to nmi.
Mysterie, this really wasn't aimed at you because I agree that much that was spoke of could've been saved for private messaging but at the time (via my phone), I was only a "green lighter" and couldn't send p.m's (I'm not sure if it was because I use the phone app or because I wasn't yet a "blue lighter".)
What I don't understand is the few people who condemned me for writing this thread. I feel it was written kindly and nicely. Again, I suppose I'm just extremely sensitive but when it comes to someone PLEADING for "help", I'll do the best I personally can. But obviously, that's all I can do and I now understand that. I merely wrote it on nmi because I had responded to many on this forum (one in particular who has the same disorder as I do) but then they were just "gone" after BEGGING for help.
It's truly just a heart felt, nonjudgemental opinion of mine. If you take the time to write an autobiography of yourself, post it, someone replies within 5-10 minutes (me), then I would just love to hear back from that person to know they're ok. This isn't a suicide hotline, nor is it a "I think I overdosed, what should I do"? website. And again, it just tears at my own "heart strings". Perhaps it's because I am a nurse (not currently working though) and I worked in psychiatric wards. Yet my occupation has nothing to do with anything.....addictions can happen to anyone at anytime, sadly.
I'm TRULY SORRY if this thread insulted anyone as it was not my intent to do so. I had actually already written a thread of my own in "sober living" before writing this because each day IS a struggle if you're trying to remain sober (which I am).
BUT, I also do NOT want anyone to be unsafe if they so choose to continue using. I KNOW how hard it is. 3 years, myself, on oxycodone and methadone. So again, I DID NOT mean this to come out harshly and from quite a few people I learned why some never come back...yet that saddens me

....but again, my thread was not meant to hurt anyone's feelings or to be a "put down" to others as I'm in no position to do so at a mere almost 23 days "clean".
So if anyone reads the "title", hopefully then skim through the thread because I then immediately (as a new member) understood.
While going through acute wd's, I wouldn't have answered anyone, no doubt. And if I was a hardcore addict (was)...if I had my "fix", I then probably wouldn't answer because I'd be like "f" it, I'm fine now. Who needs bluelight?
I'm not going to delete my thread because I feel valid points were made within it (as for the "in betweens", it was because what they said made a shit load of sense to me as I've went plenty of days not answering my phone or returning a text.
I hope this better clarifies my thoughts because I'm the furthest thing from a heartless woman. I always say if I can just help one person........yet I've learned that's not always going to happen.
Much peace and love,
Bernadette
