I have been reading the opening pages of your post. I relate to pretty much everything you wrote and many of your experiences. The fact that you are where you are today is a very powerful for me. Pretty much on the same page - want to be where you are in a year. Gut Yom Tov!

Hi, all my special friends and brothers, my family at GYE!
I have been planning for a while to write a nice piece here, but I simply can't find the time. It will have to wait. So, what's the occasion that I'm writing on my thread? Today is BH 275 clean from P and M, but that's not what I want to write about. I was just reading a bunch of threads, and I was so inspired. I thought about it a few minutes and I am blown away.
I am here for only a short while, having joined in July, but really only started visiting regularly and taking an active part since November. And I have seen so many special people come here, I've watched them start off, hesitating, wondering if they can do it, airing concerns, and then slowly but surely they get the hang of it and they start soaring!!! Literally soaring! 
The epiphany I had as I read through the threads, of Chaimoigen, of Yitz, of Eccentric Composer, of Yeshayahu (or was is Bradley Smith?), of SimchasTorah, Iwillmanage, MY41, and so many others, and seeing what truly special people they are! Such really special people! I'm sitting here reading and I can't get over it, there are so many special people here! There are so many that were here not so long ago that have BH reached a place where they are healthy enough to move on(although it would have been nice to have them inspire some others). It is so beautiful, I have no words. And to see the oilam supporting each other, helping, inspiring, sharing advice, making each guy feel like a brother, it is so unbelievably beautiful I cannot capture it in words. It is just amazing, to talk to some guys here, every guy I've ever spoken to struck me as so special, as having such a good and positive interior, of wanting so badly to just be good, of working so hard to get there. I am awed. I know I don't come close to doing justice to the beauty of the oilam here.
In my first post I said that when I read the things people here wrote I'm awed into silence. My friends, I've come full circle.

And much of it is thanks to you. You are an incredible chizuk around here! Everyone who is/was lucky enough to feel your care and concern has become better for it.

Please keep it up!

P.S. Can you please add your number of clean days next to your username? It gives chizzuk...

Excuse my ignorance, I have no idea why it doesn't say, and I don't know how to change that

Reb Chaim, I have a very strong feeling that you will soon be way ahead of me! Your posts speak of a very articulate,  thought out, caring person, and if you stick around here a little I'm sure I and many others will have much to gain.
Keep it up!

When I go to the wall of honor it says to click here if I don't want my streak displayed. I can't figure this out.

Do you want the streak to show in the forum under your name or not to show?

Copy the URL (link) of the page you want, and when you open the page to edit you signature (or any post) on the top row, 4th to right box you will see an icon with a chain and a green plus sign. Select it and paste the URL.

Yes, I missed one part. Type the word you want, highlight it and then follow these instructions.

Are you sure?

Yes
