I get that feeling alot but I have to remember that if I like myself then nothing else matters. Okay, so my feelings are hurt when someone says or does something that hurts but I have to remember that noone can control the way I feel and if I do nothing to make them feel the way they do, then that is their cross to bear. As long as I love the person I have become then I am good in my heart. Does that make sense?? Love yourself first and the rest of the world will see how beautiful you really are. Happy Holiday's. FYI, they all care, they are just afraid of the good person you have become and don't know how to express it properly.

Yes, I feel that way sometimes, it's a self-esteem problem that I am dealing with. AA friends can be true friends, they like you for what/who you are (for the most part...look out for the predators). Good luck and God Bless.

Not all men are as you describe (I can't comment for women)Debsoul is exactly right it's self esteem. I am like you I wonder what the hell made me drink the way I do. It is usually the depression that follows drink that makes me paraniod about others intentions. I soent 2 years in therapy which helped me understand the way I am, and why, which means that I could move forward.
Good Luck with this journey

People in sobriety are simply more sane, they have more respect and don't wake in the morning wondering what is the name of the person next to them.

Not really sure what it is your so concerned about, you seem to have an admiring fan club, you obviously do a good job as you scare other women when your around there men.

I feel that there is more behind your post than you have not said.

But of course thats just my opinion

My ? is are you alcoholic? If so do you have a sponsor and where are you in the steps? Answer that please then maybe i can share my exp with the solution.

yes im alcoholic, on step 2 , i was sober 3 months recent relapse, this thing about no-one liking me has followed me all my life, ill count you as one of those shall i trickey?
btw im joking

why is it whenever someone posts something (not necessarily this topic) theres always somebody who gives a patronising reply/ somewhere along the lines of "ive been sober longer than you, therefore im better than you" guess ill get a rollocking for this but i need to get it off my chest!

Well,I understand what you mean .I know what it's like to have people only looking at you for what you can possibly offer them.(financially,sexually or other wise.)That's why you should probably except the few people you do cherish,(AA,and other wise.)I'd rather have 2people that care,rather then 200 that pretend they care.You are beautiful and others jealousies is their problem.

Hey up, I did not start this topic you did.

I can only air an opinion as I see it, seems to me that your feeling a bit glum, and people probably like you heaps more than you give yourself credit.

I am saying that sober people are much nicer than those that are drinking, I am for one, so it is not surprising that you get more respect in the rooms, I do as well, I could not truly believe how many really nice people were out there, having been surrounded in s***s all my life.

Can't see why I should not like you, was just tasting your feedback and that seemed to work.

Sadly not everyone around us is perfect, and when we are sober we can see this ohh so much more, I don't think your alone, also when you have been sober a while, the family troops stop rallying, they return to thier normal slugish ways, and of course we notice more.

I think the problem that you may be having is called reality, its not all Roses and whats wrong with new friends.

We all love ya here, so I hope thats a start.

Sorry to wind you up a little earlier, it was meant in a joking good way.

Take care and keep with it
