Do You Feel Bad For Those Who Feel They Still Must Attend Meetings?

i've got mixed emotions.. i just couldn't do it.

i'd rather shoot myself..

As someone who still goes, I wouldn't want anyone to feel bad for me. At the end of the day it's my choice. But it is very painful. Every time I go it gets worse. The anxiety and agitation is awful. I try and miss as many as I can get away with but with my mother, husband, children, friends I grew up with all there, it's not an option. I have no local friends or family outside so the alternative is to have no one. Maybe one day it'll come to that. At the moment I bear it.

after much deliberation, i decided to go "out" at the end of a public talk.

it didn't go down too well, but at least i was able to give some of my reasons for leaving.. i've put some of the details on my homepage.

i'll update it more when i get the time and the strength.

Just loved that talk! Heard it a month ago, didn't realise you'd been back. So glad you found a happy way to live!

Racism on the forum / Treyvon Martin

by Simon in

i've just been catching up on some of the posts that people made about this case and i am appalled at the blatant racism demonstrated by certain individuals.. yes, you are entitlted to your opinion ... but at some point your opinion needs to be kept locked inside your ignorant biggoted empty skull and not come out of your stupid fat mouth.

it especially shouldn't be posted on my forum.. such racism will not be tollerated here.. i also would like to publicly apologise to outlaw for not being on top of this earlier and making sure that he wasn't lumped in with these despicable people for simply pointing out how out-of-line their behavior was.

sorry my friend - you did not deserve that and i understand completely why you have had a break from the site..

Nelson Mandela, a man I've always had tremendous respect for...

"We enter into a covenant that we shall build a society in which all South Africans, both black and white, will be able to walk tall, without any fear in their hearts, assured of their inalienable right to human dignity – a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world."
Nelson Mandela, Inaugural Address, Pretoria 9 May 1994

"I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons will live together in harmony with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for, and to see realised. But my Lord, if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
Nelson Mandela, defence statement during the Rivonia Trial, 1964. Also repeated during the closing of his speech delivered in Cape Town on the day he was released from prison 27 years later, on 11 February 1990.

well.. i've been here for a few weeks but still feel like a relative newbie.

i just wanted to introduce myself as much as i'm able to.

i'm still 'in' so to speak although mentally 'out'.

Thanks FS! I'm gradually getting to know everyone.. well as good as you can anonomously! LOL

I have to keep a very low profile and keep under the radar. It's working quite well atm. I drop my little seeds of doubt wherever I can, it's surprising how many have their doubts!
