one day at a time
in addition to my abstinence from alcohol, i'm going to try to abstain from blogs i don't agree with. this is more of a challenge but i look to certain members for guidance and inspiration. this doesn't mean i won't engage on my own blogs, but i think in the future, i will again look to certain members for their guidance and inspiration and delete the unsavory. you know who you are.

It's just energy draining.
I'm abstaining from many things.
It can certainly be a bit of a challenge as far as the blogs are concerned. A degree of abstinence may help. I think we need to be mindful at all times regarding the things and people that have a negative impact upon us, pull back from them as much as possible and find ways of detoxifying from their negative effects. Recently there were a couple of blogs that focused on cutting the ties and releasing negativity. Dan’s was one of them and I think the other one was Ginger’s.
Hope you stay strong and resolute.
Being selective is the choice you have as to whether you respond to it's content or not. We are all strangers until we meet on this site, so why allow a complete stranger to have influence over you and your thoughts.
Yes one can respond ,and yes some will attack, even those who seek to guide us with their own personal ideology.
How you deal with it is your choice and yours alone as you have the control of your keyboard.

You can choose (pretty much) what food you eat, what music you listen to (or the silence you enjoy), and the same is true in many other things.
And of course, the company you keep and what you do, or don't, tolerate.
This can be a very good noise-cancelling device.
Hmmmm.

Many people who appear Toxic are going through their own pain and we should not judge them but when they hurt us verbally it is hard not to .
Sobriety is so important, I agree though, stick with those who who can relate to and sometimes the blogs are just toxic.
Your recovery and health and happiness and sobriety come first Wishing you happiness and peace.
