Depends on whose midnight, and it depends on what constitutes a snack.

What got into you Cordnoy?

Methinks you're just insulted Yankel's not calling YOU.

as a matter of fact, I was the one he called, so once again in the words of Pidiani's illustrious neighbour (as they spell it there), "So there!"

Thanks for the rewelcome!!

Hi everyone!!

Bein hazmanim has been interesting, haven't been finding the time to post a lot, even though i have time for a bunch of other shtissem, but maybe that's not so bad, as posting means being upsatairs on the the third floor alone, in isolation with a computer. But, I have also been watching movies on the third floor in isolation with the computer, so there goes that.

Going back to EY on wednesday, don't have a solid schedule yet, doing hishtadlus to find a chavrusah in the morning. Still clean, but it's been hard.

KOMT everyone, everyone together!! (I have some more thoughts, hopefully another time)

I hear you. We slip and maybe even fall. It happens. Last week I went on YouTube a few times looking had not so tznious things. It's not good, I shouldn't be looking at them BUT they happened. They did and they do. And that's ok, we're not expected to be perfect. It seems like your doing much better, thank God, but I think your missing oink (heck im missing oink) try to get it started again!

Bhatzlacha!!!!!!!! And KOTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

not feeling very excited about life right now. Each time I remind myself that Hashem is giving me my experience at every moment, I feel clear, but it doesn't last for very long and I'm feeling restless again. I think I should get off the computer. bye.

Might sound like a weird question - do you ever meditate? It can be a helpful way to gain clarity.

sorry....

away from prayin', contemplatin', medidatin'....

more like SA'in', therapistin', sponsor, etc.

It is my recurrin' argument or suggestion to R' Pidiani.....I'd like him to get out of his comfort zone a bit.

Again, I'm a nobody who knows nothin', so I just sayin'.

Who knows?

Prayin' and meditatin' is part of SA'in'. Just sayin'

In all seriousness I feel the need to point out that half-measures availed us nothing. I don't think you can work the steps without a sponsor who's done them before. I don't think you can go to meetings without reading the book as well. I don't think you can do SA without praying and surrendering.




( Like a bagel with no hole, 12 steps without a group and a sponsor is simply incomplete....
12 Steps are the way we are and how we think and feel. Our sponsor tells us just what we should do......
So if you find you keep relapsing and cannot stay sober,
You have to work the program through and through.......


An exert from the Marvelous middos machine, in case anyone thought I was going mad).

Just for the record, I have contacted a therapist today. I don't really know what I want from him, if for the "addiction" or maybe for more general things, but I let him know that and we are going to try figuring it out.

It's a big step for me, being that I really want to figure everything out myself, but Hashem has clearly shown me that that is the next step that He wants me to take. So here goes!!!

WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
