ok, better news.yes, i got my start on GYE. and my life is totally better. i hope all of you can join me! life is SO much better.whenever i think of our leader, i cry my eyes out at what he did for me.please, chevra, i beg you from my heart, please get this thing under control!! if you're not ready to do it for yourself, do it for guard, or do it for Hashem, but do it! get a sponsor, call him 10 times a day if need be (just in the beginning). and read my recovery story.i usually dont talk this way about myself, but for this it's worth it!
elul is just arounf the corner - take the bull by the horns and run!
