I made that post because several on here seem troubled in their hearts over receiving dislikes, or funny emojis, and have made a few posts about their concern and kept pointing it out. I haven't complained about it personally and wanted to offer comfort to others that it has even happened to me!!!!!! Can you believe others have done that to me? I know, hard to believe! It happens to all of us I think! :)
Just reading this again.................. I am so sorry to read this has happened to you.

You know to be honest and not a hypocrite since no one likes a hypocrite that is for sure.

I have complained about it actually, many times, I figured better to complain than having an upset stomach and needing to open that bottle of wine.

God forbid anyone think I was a drunkard too !! :(

I recently gave up hard alcohol but still enjoy really cold beer, especially in the Summer.

Deceased would not be room temperature... and you will still hear "her voice in your head" so you are out of luck there too!! :)

Oh, Rosemary! I am so glad to hear you are making headway, because I know how discouraged you sometimes became after achieving a bit of sobriety and then falling back into it (the "bottle"), even as you were able to receive God's grace around it and forgive yourself. Drinking before I was saved was something I did pretty much every day for many years spanning into double digits. It was only when I cried out to God for help that I, too, lost the desire to use mind and mood altering substances, and I found a lot of support, encouragement, guidance, inspiration, and insight in the rooms of AAA and NA and through working the 12 steps as well :) Part of my "story" is that I did not even believe in God when I cried out to Him for help, nor was I seeking help to quit drinking and drugging, but help to stop other things that were causing me untold pain. I just wanted the pain to stop... and for the most part, it has :D
