Bipolar Stoner, I'm sorry for not making myself clear enough. I meant triggers for relapsing into drugs alcohol, etc.... I just trying to help people think about it so they can make a plan to not relapse. Sorry for not explaining myself better. I didn't mean to confuse anyone.

Relapse, were we supposed to stop?

Dangit, I messed up again....

Not sure if you are here for help or comedy relief. There are quite a few people that are struggling with their addictions and making a honest effort to stay sober. Hope you are too?

ok, you might wanna explain that comment sara, as I have not been thinking clearly and dont want to take it as an ass chewin.

I self med because the last 14 years of thier 'miracle' drugs threw me into a depression or what I like to call thier "passive" state. sedate, sedate, sedate.... the only way youre not a problem for "normal" people is to be sedated, locked up etc....

And so what if I like to throw in a little quip here and there, would you too, rather I stay suppressed, and keep to myself with no comments? If so I can drop this forum as my wonderfully "self medicated" mood has now turned to shit.

I think we are all here to give and get support. Each of us are different and it is important to understand that we are diverse people. We learn more from people that are different than us. It is important to remember that some people use comedy as a way to help them overcome their addictions. We are all one big family here and we are here to support one another. Each of us are on different stages in recovery. It is important to remember that not everyone is as stable as you. I think that it is important to keep that in mind when reading and writing posts.

Can I get an Amen! Amen!
