THANKS POOH! I WILL PASS IT ON. For years I haven't had to go to work because I have a job I love. C.

I dont know if your read my last email to you or not. But I asked if you would read a post I put up. It was in the humor section and is titled "help" I noticed that you read another one of mine but that was the wrong one. I just need some positive feedback from a professional person so PLEASE read the help one in the humor/anxiety section I think. Thank you sooo much PBII

YES pooh i second that with a standing ovation, and a great big thank you-lucinda, for this program. i do not know how to start a new post-only respond to one already up, BUT would like to get something off my chest if i may. seems sooo very many coming onto chat wanting others to take away their pain/upset/issues and even lash out at ones trying to help them with program skills..and their saying they don't WANT/can't do the work of it, yet continually restating allll their troubles. i speak not of one so please do not take any defense or offense. i just wish there were a banner on forum page as soon as folks enter, reminding all every visit, that recovery is their work to do, and that helps to help themselves can be found in this program...if THEY work the program..or something similar..as all i am seeing a boatload of is dumping and complaining and that they can't this or that or their background was awful. well guess what folks..alot of us here have had same troubles and if the same old ways are not helping you, its up to you to find something better that will help YOU to recover. recovery is up to you and your own efforts....or something kinder and simpler. i do wish all the best..but seems so many want someone else to do it for them..the program can help..but you have to do the work...we each are responsible for our own recovery. its clear many here do not want to talk about this program-ever....and folks share various ways to get help with this program...but they rather complain continually-and even bash others trying to share program helps, and then there are those who seem bored and wish to hookup or shock , or purposely cause drama and divisions among people here--clearly uninterested in doing the program whatsoever. i haven't even mentioned the trolls who come in under different names but the same persons who seem bored also and wish to cause harm to folks purposely. anyways, THANK YOU lucinda for this site..its been great reminding me to keep going forward with the program/practicing/and being reminded of lessons via chat and a few real decent program doers i have met in here. ty

I agree that people are responsible for their own recovery. But the boards are here if we do have aproblem and need to complain. That is what the other people are here for. If you dont want to share your story thats fine but other people need to and thats fine too.

perhaps i need to review lesson 4 yet once again...in fact i know i do=my expectations are my own standards...think i just got too drained lately again. still trying to go forward--yet understanding..ooops i think i slipped again=sorry.

I thought this site was for encouragment and support? And asking questions and discussions?
I know lots of people vent here, and thats okay to, but i dont think it was meant to just be a place to come and complain.
Beth is right,, WE are responsible for our own recovery, no one else can change the way you think, or the anxiety or depression we each have. The courage to change, comes from within,mentally, phyiscally, spiritually for each person. Support and encouragement helps, but it has to be the one with anxiety/deprssion that does all the Work to change. Nelly

ty nelly...another program DOer who has made me feel better ...ty dear. good wishes all..please KNOW you can get better..wishing all best on their journeys towards better thinking.

as you will see mello nello I did not start this out as a post to complain. I stated how lucky I felt to have the program. I was just answering her question the way that I felt.

pooh....i just reread my posts and see no questioin i asked...was just a general comment not to you but all...as has been a zoo in chat lately. ty for listening..it was not personally said to anyone..nor do i see a question in there. best wishes.
