crack head

Can you explain your comment about flamers in San Fran?  FWIW, I'm from the south, too, and I can't think of anything more unhospitable or down right rude that a friend can do than enable someone's risky behavior. If you post on a message board, you open yourself up to all sorts of 'tactics" and if you don't want to have people disagree with you, then don't post.

Have you ever been to SanFrancisco?  I guess it's just something you need to experience.  I was stationed at Fort Ord many years ago and it's not too far.  I guess it's just something you need to see first hand. I have never met Amy.  I only know what I read was cruel to say in a public forum.  If necessary, at best, it should have been done privately. That is my only disagreement.  Because I won't humiliate someone publically does not warrant accusing me of enabling Amy.  I am kind to her, as she is to me.  That's all. I feel as if a group of unfriendly folks showed to go after Amy's jugular in public.  Do you really think that type of public intervention helped her?  I don't.  That sort of talk is private stuff that goes on in families and rehab. I think accusing me of enabling Amy is just Cynthia's way of taking the heat off of her for being publically humiliating to Amy.  I don't know Amy, never met her. Yall are on a mission and please leave me out of it. Have a blessed day, Diane

Well Diane, I can see why you don't understand where I am coming from since you just joined OH at the end of July.  Amy has been here for a long time.  She has posted her drama over and over again reaching out for support and understanding. And it has been given to her over and over again by many people.  Many people really do care about her.  Including me.  Many have given up.  I don't want to give up.  I want her to live. You need to know her history.  And I do understand where you are coming from being so new to this Amy Drama. And by the way...I did not call in the troops.  I did ask why someone who call me every name in the book (A different book, I guess), and then say, "I'll pray for you".  HUH?  I have never understood that phrase.  Don't attack and bully me, and then turn around and say you are a good christian woman.  Christ was a deeply compassionate and loving man.  I really like what his message was all about.  His message is beautiful and real to me.  (How he got to earth...is not so real in my mind..I  admit).  But his message is awesome and perfect.  So if you really are a christian woman...I would think you would try and live as he did.  Not just SAY you are, and then be mean and hypocritical, and then end it with a "I'll pray for you" statement.  It makes you look really bad. PS - I love the pool of acid story.  WOW!  You have some imagination.  Almost as good as the ones who wrote the Book.

Hey Cynthia, Ahhh, but the Lord tells us to put on a suit of armor for defending the sick and weak.  Jesus is a good man, but trust me, he was no whimp!  Will PM you later.. on a lunch break.  Point taken. Diane

I believe they also call those people that "love to death" ENABLERS!!!
Amy does need prayers---she needs inpatient care--she needs a good swift kick in the pants too.... hard enough to knock some sense into her---sadly only when she hits rock bottom will it happen.
It appears she is not far from that point now.

Amy, I am so sorry people have been so mean to you.  There is no difference between somebody calling you Crack head and someone who makes fun of fat people.  Name calling is just awful no matter what the reason. The fact that your "friends" on this board are not supporting you upsets me also.  I realize you are simply venting and looking for some kind words. Most of us are here for the support, not to put others down! 

I am a person of recovery that is who I am.  And I am deeply concerned for Amy and her health, and her children's health. I almost died from my addiction to alcohol and drugs.  I am a post op from wls.  I am from the united states as much as you are.  I don't put up walls of separation.  Or state lines. Amy knows I am very concerned about her.  And I we keep going around and around about her exscuses.  She and I have already talked about how those of us with addiction problems will say anthing to not deal with the problem.   I came across a little harshly, and I am sorry. But From the looks of Amy's pictures and the stories she has written here.  Car accidents from passing out....I feel she is crossing a very serious line of causing great harm to herself and her children if she does not get help.   She blacks out.  This is very very serious.  To me it is only a matter of time before her own organs shut down from her anorexia, or she has a serious accident. I understand completly how frightened she is about not working and going to an in-patient program for help.  That was a big exscuse I used to not get into recovery also.  So I understand it.  But in the end....I had to quit my job and focus 100% on me to stop the insanity of addiction. So that is who I am.  I am open honest, and I care deeply about Amy.  I apologise for being straight up and honest.  I guess I am deeply disapointed that Amy is posting about being called a crack ho, and blaming the people who are saying it instead of really looking at WHY they are looking at her and seeing this.   Only people *****ally  DO LOOK like a skinny Crack cocaine user  are called that.  Time to open your eyes, and figure out why they are saying it.  And then starting living instead of dying slowly and show those a-holes they are wrong.  But until you do something about how you look...they are right.

Amy dear, All you have to do is block her and she can no longer hunt you down.  This is the reason OH made that feature available to us.  This person is aggressive and deceived.  Just block her.  I would too, but I want to monitor the situation to ensure she doesn't do this again.  Keep well my friend.  God does love you and we do too! Dianef

Ummmmm, You asked me who I was....sorry for having to answer and write in "The first person".  So I guess when you asked...You really didn't mean it?  Opps, my bad. She did not say "Crack Ho"...she said a man has come up to her several times and solicited sex from her, and made reference to being a crack addict. But my dear....you are spliting hairs. Anyway....I only write with Amy in PM from here on out.  Good luck to you.  Keep your panties on, honey. OH yes....I am an attention Ho....And proud of that also.  And yes, I admit...I don't always operate with the best of tact.  It is a flaw.  PS - I find your threats and bully tactics more reportable than anything I have written.  And I do highly recommend that you do block me.  It would be my pleasure to know I am safe from you, and your verbal assults. And I certainly would not scream and yell and someone and then tell them I"m praying for you.  I find that to be so hypocritical of all the things you have said.  You know you don't mean it.  I think you should pray for yourself and ask for forgiveness from your God.  I have a feeling is not liking being used as an insult by you in his name...I'm just guessing here.
