Its intersting when people are crying out for help, but can't find the nerve to start thier own thread.

Mini D you are lucky. I know of someone who was put on probation for saying "it's just a cat" in a thread someone started to grieve the loss of their cat.

What you have done is far worse.

of course that's just something someone posted on the internet, so it means nothing

You know how much I care about Nash? Enough to keep checking on here to see if there is any news..... even late last night before I went to bed, first thing this morning when I got up and again at lunchtime, and several times since getting home this evening. I know I've never met him in real life, but have worked with him in the CM Team and I have a great deal of respect for him. I was very concerned to hear of his problems and sincerely hope he makes a complete recovery.

Take care, Nash, I'm still thinking of you.

I think its the contrary. In real life, you can look at someone in the eyes.
You can hear their tone of voice and body movement.

I haven't let anyone in on my little secret, and seeing the responses here makes things... much more real. I don't know how I've gotten away with this for so long, with practically nobody (but you guys now) knowing the extent of it... or even close to it.

Nash, this thread is not about coming clean. This is a half-assed measure on your part to make you feel like you have a handle on your addiction. You don't. Quit ****ing around and call your family and/or friends. Tell them what you have posted here and ask them for help.

You well wishers that keep coming back to this thread to support Nash are co-dependent jerkoffs that are helping him to avoid really confronting his addiction.

And it for sure isnt hurting you fools but hes admiting his problem which for alot of people is very very very hard to do! let that man take back his life and keep moving forward your negativity isnt helping anyone except the other caring members of this community realize what arse holes you are..........

LOL! classic. Except... he's not in a 12 step program and he's admitting his problems to nameless faceless virtual strangers. He even says he hasn't told anyone he knows.

This is escapism and hiding from the REAL problem.

Mini d,

First, you don't speak for me, not now and not in the past. Please don't patronize people by saying everything is contrived. You have no clue about other people here and your generalization is just a rationalization for your ill mannered posting. By saying it's all contrived you try to make it unimportant and meaningless. Perhaps for you the things you say in life are meaningless, don't think you speak for others however.

As to the tripe about it being a victimless crime. I suppose you have never dealt with an addicted person. They themselves are the first victim. Virtually all the people around them can be affected by that addiction. Hardly victimless, but then it's another rationalization for you to spew.

Nash HAS been encouraged to get help. The fact of the matter is, for ANY help to work the addict HAS to WANT to kick the addiction and they need all the encouragement they can get. Treatment when involuntary is hardly successful. If you can't bother to lend an encouraging word then just pass the threads by and don't post anything.

I actually have to reply again, because you seem so damn stupid.

Are you saying that everyone that has said Nash should seek help and wished him well are co-dependant jerkoffs? What about you? Is your advice better? what a freakin moron you are.

God forbid someone posts in support of Nash.

Instead I guess it's better to come here and bash people that support Nash.

IDIOT

No, Nuke, it's cooler if you start the crowd chanting, "Jump! Jump! Jump!"

Damn.

Can't even post a comment of support without getting express written permission. There should be a fricken' form or somethin' we could fill out in advance.

The internet also allows me to seem normal while in reality I pour cheerios down my pants and put fruit loops in my shoes so that atleast the birds and squirrels will follow me around for a little while. It comforts me to know that something actually needs me, even if it is only until my trail of delectable cereals has been consumed.

Confessing here really is nothing. Somehow, I think that this addict knows that.

midnight Target · « **Reply #208 on:** October 31, 2003, 04:34:06 PM »

It is entirely possible to wish someone well and not offer advice on their particular issue. It is also possible to give a damn about someone based upon a corespondence instead of a face to face meeting. Sometimes people can be too cynical.

This DRUG ADDICT named "Nash" has to care. Take that in the right way MT.
