I know that SA helps. Zeh freaking hu.


Shlomo, I think here is some people's problem.

All you really know is that SA helps you.

Personally I think there's a very important distinction between addicts and non-addicts. It's about honesty and facing reality. Nobody should try to force a square peg into a round hole (or a round peg in a square hole for that matter).

So non-addicts don't need to be honest?

Fake news! Very dishonest coverage.

Sing, I mean that everybody needs to be honest about the reality of their own situation.

Did a bit of googling and i think this short essay sums it up very nicely and in a well rounded fashion.

In summary to this thread you can be addicted without being an 'addict'

Most people who come here are having difficulty stopping.

That makes them 'addicted'. It doesn't necessarily make them 'addicts' though.

So maybe we should redefine - Addicted Addicts and Addicted Non-Addicts.

Once we are dividing GYE, we should do it more! I like cholent and Cordnoy likes kugel. Watson likes herring and Singularity likes kichel. Mark likes candy and Gevura likes schnapps...

Ultimately, GYE is focused on what brings us together, not what separates us.

I'll always be with you, especially because I hate/despise the black ones. As a matter of fact, I'm not really fond of any.
