You have also grabbed hold of a tool for being open and honest and are using it well. You are a changing person indeed! You are a good example to all of us, too. You prove that opening up and being honest will not kill us. And you are cheering up and supporting many other struggling guys here, over and over in your non-ego, humorous way. You are a gem...as far as I am concerned.

Don't stop, chaver. One day at a time is good enough.

methinks that the Noam Elimelech writes in the Tzetil Katan;

"Vi Hamaor sheba Yachzirenu limutav"

and the light which is in it (the torah) will return you to good.

or in Tanya Jargon;

by learning Hashems torah you are enrobing your thoughts with his
and it'e like you are hugging the king.

Good luck Eli

(reminds me of a song;

Eli Eli He sells socks,
a penny for a pair and a dollar a box,

the longer you wear them,
the shorter they get,
and ya put them in the water and they don't get wet.

Boom Boom.
Aint it great to be Crazy?
Boom Boom.
Aint it great to be nut like us?

Boom Boom.
Aint it great to be Crazy?
