True, but positive sometimes requires what appears "negative" at first, for the positive intent, and positive results to be revealed.
I am where I am today, healing, happy, at peace, due to this board, both the supportive understanding/cheerleading/hugs aspect, and the straight up advice, but what really was the catalyst for my personal growth, was the people who DID call me on my chit, showed me what an outsider saw in my postings that revealed and exposed things about me that I was dodging.
The 2X4's, 4X8's stung, hurt like hell, p1ssed me off big time.
When my ego got past that, and allowed my logical, science nerd brain side to operate, then I could begin to turn my W's MLC into a life transforming event that I am ever so thankful for, NOW.
The methods and paths taken may differ from poster to poster, but the intent is the same... positive growth and healing. imo.
