I met you in the most awkward situation. I thought I was helping a friend but I ended up being an ass. You listened when I tried to explain even though what I did hurt you too. Thank you for not judging me and writing me off as a person. I know that we will never be best friends but your kindness helped me from making a very bad choice and undoing the work I have done so far. Not only are you beautiful in your heart, you are beautiful period. Remember that, even when people who have no right to treat you bad do it anyway. I hoped for better, maybe it’s too late. —Lucky Jerk

Thank you for giving me the “heads up” that you were posting again. I am very glad that you stayed on the path you are working so hard on and are safe. You (I believe) are surrounded by people who care for you and will be there in a snap if you need them. If I did anything to help, then I am happy.
People make mistakes and some day you will find the courage to admit your error and ask for forgiveness. It will be ok. Be the example of generosity you said you wanted.
Please don’t worry about me, I am great. At the end of the day, I am exactly where I need to be. It is too late, and let’s leave it at that.
Best of luck and please don’t be afraid to reach out if you need help.
Thank jesus you can track comment history. Makes it much easier to figure out what posts are about.
This is I am assuming more of the #1/#2 business. Unlike the shitty original, this love is a lot kinder.
Here’s my opinion: #1ToSome, you did the right thing. You tried to help where you could and that is important, even if no one notices or cares. The other point is when faced with Bitches (in person and in print), you didn’t shoot back, you tried to resolve it (and defended them). Don’t worry about them. Meeting Buddy/Lucky Jerk, I hope you learned how tenuous recovery can be and creating issues for others affects you too. Remember that you need stable people to help you even if it is only once. Bitch(es), take a look at your behaviour and smarten up. You know know how pathetic you sound.
Fuck this is tiring figuring shit out.
I suck at writing and still think that this message is not exactly what I wanted to say. My reason for writing the first “Love” post was to help someone I thought needed it. Part of the program is to help others and I thought by giving advice I was do that. I didn’t. My post came across as mean and critical of a woman I thought was actually nice. I am really, really sorry for that. Hopefully I will get the guts to talk to you both about it in person. What surprises me is when you posted such a evil BITCH, not pointed to me, but to someone else. Then came another BITCH. Holy fuck, what is wrong with you? One is bad enough, but two? Don’t you know that #1ToSome defended you? Said good things? Thought you were nice?
#1ToSome I just want to say thanks for being kind. Wouldn’t want to be on your bad side though, you were pretty rough on me at first.
Man, I don’t know how to tell you but you lost out. And I think you know it too.
OB. Reaching out is so important when you are struggling. I know it and live it every day. When you happen upon someone who can help and care, keep them close. Keep on your path, keep coming back, but mostly keep believing in yourself.
