there should be a group on here for "GOTtheGROOVE2001 haters". I think, anyhow. I seem to be a major stumbling block in recovery for a lot of people on here... they seem fine, like they're actually achieving spiritual growth, etc, then I show up, one or two words come out of my mouth, and before ya know it they're right back to taking others' inventories, accusing me of not being sympathetic enough for those suffering from BAT SHIT INSANITY, etc.. Let me ask yall something... if I came on here and started yelling about how I've never been dishonest, but a lot of people lie about me, and there's undercover cops stalking me with tazers all the time, etc, would yall throw a pity party for me, and accuse each other of not feeling enough sympathy? I feel (what I believe to be) plenty of sympathy for others. How much more sympathy would you like from me? How much sympathy do I owe? Does anyone truly owe anyone sympathy for anything? I don't have the answers to those questions. But I do know what it feels like to be mentally ill and scared, confused, etc... maybe not to the same extent that others have experienced it, but enough to know it's no joke. Anyhow... shit just cracks me up how as soon as people see someone they don't like, all that growing along spiritual lines goes out the window and they're just as judgemental and hatefull as they've ever been. I don't think I've ever actually asked anyone on here why they dislike me so much, and I don't ever plan on it. I really don't care. I'm here tryin to get another day sober, I'm going to get it, and no one is running me out of here. If I actually do something wrong or maliciously offend someone, that's a different story... I'd be happy to try to make amends for something like that. But if there are any such legitimate complaints, none of them have been voiced, so we have to assume that every thing about me pisses these people off, and what pisses them off the most is the fact that I'm still sober. The good news is, it's not everyone. Just a small handfull of people who really really dislike me. I think they should start a new group on DS for GOTtheGROOVE2001 haters

" :o)

I like you GtG. Days when I thought I always had to agree with people I like are long gone though...

Here's how it used to go - I'd have a handful of friends, then one of them would say something I didn't like and I've have to add another name to the list...ugh it got painful. And what if I thought they didn't like what "I" said?!

Talking to a friend about this for four hours last night - dependancy. Dependency on other people, Dependency on what they think about me, what they think about my friends, list goes on. Best I could do is pretend I didn't care -"screw you if you don't like me, I'm ME like it or leave it!!". No wonder opening my mouth was always so painful!

Have a good night
