I used combersome once in a meeting and this one girl (Erin A) ripped my ass to shreads for it, the Josh A took me aside and explained that only simple dialect was used here, this was before Josh was a pretentious asshole. He explained to me to not use language like that because it made others feel inferior...
I wonder if the poor guy still knows what combersome means...

When Josh came into the Meehan center he was pretty against the idea of sticking around in any program. After talking with him for a while I asked him if he was willing to give it a try. His response: "Yeah, I'll peep on it".  I think that he meant he'd check it out. The point? Are you still surprised he didn't want you to say combersome or anything else that youldn't be followed up with a witty "dude" or "you know what I'm sayin'?'" |

I remember Mike W. giving me shit one time cause I said "abhor" in a meeting. He said, "if you're trying to make yourself look better than everyone sweetheart, it ain't working. Why don't you get humble and not share in meetings for a month and listen to how your bros really talk." Then, I like Casper, made a decision to only use words like dude, man, bro, chicks, fuck, Higher Power and this one's pushing it for those fucktards: gratitude. God that place sucked the life out of us. Oh man that piiiisssses me off! Yet another reason to slap Mike W. Adding it to my already long list (check!). What gives those abso-f*cking-lute IDIOTS the right, what even comes close to giving them the right to be like that? It was SUPPOSED to be a place of healing. It was SUPPOSED to be a place of growth and learning to be a real human being (isn't that what a drug abuse program is supposed to be?)! It was SUPPOSED to be a place where you could be yourself and still be 'loved' (Wasn't that the purpose for all the I love you bullsh*t?). GRRRRR --T |

Reading this post has brought up similar occurences, and has also got my blood boiling. Fuck those insecure pricks. They pounce on someone every chance they can get. I'm so mad right now I'm having trouble typing this. I want to call those pukes right now and scream at them! You fucks are so warped! All of you are going to keep getting older and fucking rot away alone while realizing how pathetic you are. Where do you think you dumbfucks will be when your in your 60's with nothing? Do you think you'll be like Bob? He's soooo fucking cool isn't he? Are you going to ride a comet to graceland? Are you going to ghetadfbnlkdkdla AHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHpoiasjopeqwirj srtoihjg;ot I'm too mad to type bye  |

I hear ya GigglingApe, I hear ya...
It's nice to be able to commiserate with others about the condescending cult we all abhor. They think we were being pretentious when in fact we really just being ourselves. It was combersome to try and dumb down wording. I know there was a plethora of dude-man-bro conjuctions we could have used but after a while it got to be repetitive.
I don't care if I sound antiquated, I enjoy using my brain. In fact, I think it makes my conversations more convivial.

So I was at a friends house last night and it was the first time that his new baby was actually at the table with us when we ate (on dads lap). So I was able to tell him (the baby) how convivial I found the whole situation.
Just thought I'd share. :-P TH

OMG this shit is funny!!!! I joke with my husband about the cult and tell him that I was part of a secret society called the Illiterati.
Jeezus- I'll tell you what was cumbersome-- feeling like I was the village letter writer-- now that was cumbersome.
Sounds like people were a lot smarter than I gave them credit for. What a breath of fresh air!

Ha ha, Illiterati. Welcome to the site, by the way.
Another thing I hated was if I was trying to read I heard, "Why are you in your head bro?" Oh gee, I don't know maybe cause I can read without my lips moving jackass!
BTW-Reno, not still mad about this but do you remember throwing away my Henry Rollins book "Art to Choke Hearts and Pissing in the Gene Pool'? I kinda get a chuckle about that now.
