"one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" When you got that long of a trip, you got plenty of time to work on your speach. But couldn't he have hired someone to thing of something alittle more meaningfull. I mean the only asvances for mankind that came from NASA are velcro and memoryfoam. 
'

So lacking propper words of encouragement,  you have come a long way. 90 daysX24 hoursX60 MinutesX60 seconds is alot of time that you didn't do notin wrong!!!

you rock!!!  you're siriosly a tzaddik!

OneLife - well said! For m first 90-day, I went out to eat with a non-GYE friend. Still up in the air about my second 90 days...

Anyone up for a kumzitz?

IT - You're way ahead of me in so many ways. Don't sweat it, you'll soon succeed in this, too, and I'll be cheering for you!

SE - I'm no tzaddik...but I'd like to think that I've given hashem a few smiles, at least. And your words of encouragement are always welcome.

Sci, thanks for the KOT. That means a lot, especially coming from you!

Why get faHitzed about the future? Enjoy today! Today is awesome enough to make it worthwhile! (but if you do make a party one day, invite me please...I don't eat much....)

Dov, you are TOTALLY invited to anything I make...and I'll even let you make alcohol requests (within reason...well, you can request anything, and I'll see). Right now, if i do anything, I'd probably get woodford, or something similar, plus some supplies for mixed drinks (I think it was OTR that requested that, if he's serious about coming).

OTR?! How the heck is that guy?
What country are your 'zits in?
Actually, don't tell bards, but I only do Woodford for loving him (and his great-great-great grandfather) so much...I'm a merlot and sangiovese man, if anything....

I know pretty much nothing about wines...but if you tell me what you like, I'll get you something. Or, you can make a l'chaim on 7up ;D

"zits?" as in "kumzits?" Haven't had one yet, but I'm in NY...

Haven't heard from OTR in a couple of days...

Have you tried to stop going to the therapist yet at all?  I was wondering if you think the therapist has something to do with your growth?

:D :D :D

Well, I've only been going to this guy for a few months. I'm hoping that we'll stop sometime soon.

I certainly think that going to him has helped me grow - it's spending a solid hour a week (or sometimes, every other week) focusing on these issues, understanding them better, considering what I can do to improve...

But I do think that with this as a starting point, I can do it on my own - I just want to make sure that I've got myself a solid program in place.

You can do what I did when I stopped seing my therapist,  we decided that "I'd call him to scedual, the next time I needed to see him" It was a year later, and after 3 sessions, I have only spoken to him once.

I know that I'm terrible at keeping in touch, but I didn't need him (no I never used him for my SA, except for those 3 sessions)

I see the benefit...the question isn't how to get rid of him, the question is, what's the best program I can build for myself to make sure that I continue to improve, stay strong, stay aware?

buy a baseball bat, and smash your compuet to peices - that's the very best program

second best: WHITELIST yup, goodbye internet.

third best: ???  But I'm sure you had something on your mind. You know yourself better than I do, so I'm sure you know what would stop you from falling 90% of the time.
