    A couple of years ago, I had an addiction to Cocaine and alcohol....I had a bad problem and it clouded my judgement. Well, when i moved out of my parents house, i moved in with two of my coworkers who were much older. They really helped me out when i had no where to go, and opened there house and hearts to me. unfortunately i did some scummy things to them, under the haze of alcohol and drugs...the worst of which was stealling a credit card.....

    since this time, i have cleaned up my act, gone to school, and am now in recovery from my prior demons. I completely feel like ive changed, but m constantly haunted by my prior shortcomings...especially the stealing fo the credit card....

    what do you all think? am i a horrible person? am i someone who can be forgiven for my actions...i dont know...tell me what you think.....

    Thanks

    You are both horrible people. I am a victim of identity theft, and crimes like yours can literally ruin a person's life. You had no right to do what you did, and it takes a lot more than an apologetic attitude to make up for it... you deserve to be rotting in jail for a long time.

    And Sara duped me into sending her some, well, "intimate" pictures, and then shut me out of her life completely. I have repeatedly asked her to forgive me or at least tell me what the heck I did wrong to offend her, but she is obviously intentionally ignoring me, because she has posted in the same threads I posted in, but not responded to my comments. I thought we were friends.

    are you for real?

    lots of people do things like that when they have an addiction. that does not mean they are bad people. ive had people that were addicted to cocaine and heroin steal things from me when they were using and didnt have any money... and you know what, once they got clean, i forgave them.

    everyone makes mistakes. the only real mistake a person can make it to not learn from what they have done in the past and keep doing the same things over and over again. then, no, they dont deserve any sympathy for their self imposed problems. however, if a person makes an effort to change and better their lives, i see no reason why they should not be forgiven. sometimes the hardest part of all though, is forgiving yourself. i know that first hand.

    anyways, so before you judge and say "yeah people like that should spend all this time in jail and BLAH BLAH BLLAAAHH", why dont you see if you are perfect and you never did anything wrong? if you find that you are, then okay- you have a right to say that. if not, you should really look in the mirror.

    I totally agree with interval illusion, it was a scummy thing to do but it was driven by an addiction not malice and that counts for alot not to mention he has made the effort to change.

    Dr Robert, do they know that you stole from them? because if not then maybe the only way to clear you concious would be to tell them?

    if it still haunts you, then asking for forgiveness can be really healing... if not from the person you did it to, then maybe God or somebody else. of course, confessing it here shoudl probably feel good too right?

    ok 1st of all adiction makes u unable to think clear & you do stupid shit.. you yourself have a major issue & people..myself included have tried t offer advice & forgiveness
    it wasnt that sara duped u ino anything..you've freaked out alot of young sisters & i've called you on it over & over & many are aware & watching you..yet you continue..why is she ignoring you? cause you behave like a stalker
    do we forgive your loneliness & desperation? yes..but adjust your behavior & it will end..
    ok..back to the subject at hand.. part of the healling proccess is forgiving yourdself, & to do that you may neeed to admit youyr mistake..& at least try to repair the dammage..at least to the best of your ability..

    i think once the demon addiction gets hold you are not really responsible for you actions and all power to you for beating it and standing up to what you have done in your past well done i am proud to know you ..........lonley goathard we have all been victims at one time or another ..........take a reality check man

    yea i agree..getting over your addictions is a very powerful thing..admitting the wrongs is also a healing step..
    trying to make amends is..really the biggest step..
    although be prepared for an appology to be rejected.. but trying is the important thing..
    & goatherd..in 1 day..8 sisters forwarded me messages from u..i understand youve got alot of issues..but freaking people out isnt the answer..i know sara rose isnt the only 1 whos had to put you on ignore
