This is all making me really sad. Earlier, I thought with the posts being restored @ SR, and what I thought was some sort of peaceful end to all this here...it goes on. ACK!! (BTW - I never posted @ SR. Not int'd - so not me who was lurking or whatever. I can barely send a PM here much less "lurk"...LOL)

Q, I am awestruck by the fact you are leaving your job to make a bigger effort to support this method. I applaud you, support you, and want to be a part of your efforts when I am cured. You said you are going to spend time to "give those who come into this more than I had, which was just a book"...took me by surprise. Did you not have our support from the second you signed on here? What were we to you then? I was here at the beginning, from before you, I think. Please do not get bitter and forget those of us who really did support you and still do. I think you are still stinging from Lena's comments, but this one sort-of stung me.

You have always had us. Don't diss that, muh bruhthuh. I am jealous and ecstatic at the same time, of you and your success. You started after me and are "cured"!! I am still pursuing and I just want to remind you, you were never just with a book. You had US - and to divorce US b/c of one person who pissed you off seems (ok - understandable) but a little extreme. PLease think again - isn't this small stuff?? I LOVE you, Q, and I LOVE Lena & want us all to be a united front here. I think it's important.

Happy: you are amazing to keep track of everyone's personal traits so well & acccurately. Thx for your very complimentary observations!
8Days: I agree & again, too funny! I will join you only make mine an oaky Chardonnay :-)
Firebird: You crack me up & if you are not married, wanna meet me at the chapel?? LOL - Actually, I am waiting for Pontiac to change lanes. Love you car guys - and I get "Little Deuce Coupe" stuck in my head whenever you post! ..."you don't know whatta gal!" LOL

Don't even get me started on "itsy bitsy yellow polka dot bikini"...!!! :-))

Q & Lena, as one of my friends so abrupty puts it every time I whine about a man or anything else: "GET OVER IT!!!" Seriously - this audience of moi is accepting of you both. It's been a very entertaining, nauseating last few days.

Let's drop it & move on. Q, I will hunt you down if you leave. Lena, shake it off, girl & admit boys will be boys.

Feel the love, people. :-))

houtx - love your post as always...we all definitely have more than a book here. I think he's talking more factual type stuff. (He may come to find that what is provided here is actually better than all the FAQs in the world...).

Everyone, I think it's time to just say we wish you well Q and let us know about the new site / ventures you are up to when everything is established.

I believe from Q's post that he is leaving to expand on how the TSM word is spread and to be in control of how that is done. No harm in wanting to control how things are done and help more people and it sounds like he can achieve more if he does that on his own, so while it's emotional and hard and this thread as a parting comment is unfortunate, it's probably also time for him to do this. And ultimately it will be good for others who have not had any help with their alcohol issues.

Wishing you well Q. Please stay in touch.
