I am gonna jump in here and NOT scream four

there is something wrong with GUE

or with the newbies

blame whomever

it make no diff

but we need to fix the issue

that is i have seen so many people come here and spill thier guts

they actually get a decent response from the group

and poof they are gone


back in last century (ok early 90's to be exact)

i would listen to talk radio and i used hooked on a show called rush limbaugh

what a mouthpiece

he had a line

which i feel was a little "emes"

don't judge the show till u listened to it for 30 days

we need to apply a 30 day rule here

if someonejust lands here off a gooooooooooooogle search

(like I did)

they will not realize the depth the support

the brilliance

the brotherhood

and of course the humor and even the teasing

this needs patience

one can not just sign up her

post a little

and run away

if one is serious about recovery

he needs to give it time


another point

we NEED  to tell this

to all newcomers

and i try to

i say
"stay here for a while"

"resolve"

"post away"




ok ramatgan we want u back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOURTH!!!

Hi all!

Wow! never thought i'd be missed so much!

Sorry, I've not posted, I was in France for a family simcha! that's all! No need to panic!!

I have to be honest, I was holed up in a hotel in central Paris and had several opportunities to use the hotels internet service or even one of the many internet cafe's in the city centre but guys - get this......I didn't want to put myself in a position where I could sit in front of a PC again WITHOUT protection!!!!!!

Actually, I'm quite amazed that I held out but at the end of the day - I DID!

I tell you guys fro free - when I said my life has changed, I wasn't making a blank 'we've all heard that before' statement. I was telling you the whole truth. I would never have envisaged that my life would be so much better, so much cleaner, so much purer now that I have CE.

I am almost in shock as to how I can see what a blinding bolt of lightening this whole ordeal has done to me.

But now that I'm back - I'm back for good!

So good to be back too!

Looking forward to hearing from y'all soon!

Much love,

Yechezkel

Hi Eye,

U hit the nail on the head!

I was thinking how to post whilst I was away. I even wanted to use my brothers PDA (I've disabled internet on mine) but due to all the balagan of the simcha in addition to the fact that i was apprehensive about going on GYE on someone elses private phone - I decided to wait till I got back!

But now I'm back! Nice and warm in Israel - it's freezing there!

By the way, Dov is a genius! Love reading his posts!

Much love,

Yechezkel

Maybe we should create a signout sheet next time someone goes away so not to get the whole chevrah worried and everything.

Continued Hatzlacha!

Welcome Back Yechezkel.  Understand that it is the above-quoted statement that had us all concerned.  Because no matter how long we've been sober, given where we are coming from and what we are capable of doing when left to our own devices, we too are all (or should be) amazed when we make it to the end of each day, still sober.

Continued Hatzlacha and glad to hear all is well.

Hi all,

just want to wish y'all a happy channuka.

this will be my first channuka in years as a true jew.

may we all merit that the flame of the channuka lights glow deep in our hearts and continue to warm our souls for the months ahead and may we utilize the ness of channuka and make it our personal target that just like the oil lasted for 8 days, we should be zoiche that we remain clean and pure for 8 decades.....it is possible!

And just like the chashmonaim - a small band of fighters overcame all odds to beat the mighty antiyochus - so too, us - here on this forum, although we are small in numbers - may we have the collective strength to fight the mighty YH and defeat him.

finally, may we all be zoiche to greet moshiach tzidkenu bimhera beyomeinu - omain.

much love,

yechezkel
