I can't count the times I've read a post that innocently talks about drinking - even in passing - "after the movie we enjoyed a couple martinis" and I wind up going on a beer run as soon as I leap from the chair.
Then again, that shouldn't be a surprise since drinking to excess is another form of self injury. Although in my case, talk about alcohol, seems to be my only self-destructive trigger.
I'm sorry if, while discussing my darker moments, I've triggered anyone else into less positive behavior. I don't know how we safely talk about certain topics.
I actually would like to see one more babble board that allows EVERYTHING - no rules, no civility guidelines, no warnings - where anything goes. This room would act like a safety valve and depressurize all the other rooms.
We could call it the "Pillow Room".
