habib613	i have something else to get your spirits up... how bout the tryers get a thread together, and you get up rage-style. this way, when one of you falls, the other goes down too... and believe me, imtrying, you don't want to get on tryings bad side :D :D :D :D :D so you'll stay clean... (trying, i heard imtrying has a gun...don't fall or else he might come to america and use it...)

I feel like im fighting mike tyson and hes got my ear in his mouth! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

1- You are.

2- He does.

3- Find something else to do than "fight" - oops, I meant "lose", sorry.....unless you really think you can win this time!

4- Find out what other folks are doing rather than fighting. I went to the sexaholics, who had already gone to the alcoholics to find out.

5- It works if you work it.

6- Bye!

7- :-*

Tryer 2,
Yechida once posted this on my thread. Makes you think a bit;

Trying Too Hard by Janell Cressman

Fight every day to keep everything inside,
can't win this war of my soul.
Trying so hard not to give up control
but everyday it gets a little
harder to keep breathing,
to keep seeing, to keep believing.
Trying so hard not to give up but everything
in me says to let go.
How do you know when it's the right time
to just let go of everything
and just breath, just be, just sit here and see.
Trying so hard not to cry and then I wonder
why I was even crying,
you never were truly a friend
so why did I miss you so much.
Trying to hard but maybe I should
just take a step back, may be
I should take a deep breath, maybe
I should just wait and see
what happens when you let go.

ONe more thing, I once wrote a poem right after falling, its not so good but brings a point across . It's also about climbing/trying, so I thought you might like it. Here's the link: http://www.guardyoureyes.org/?p=1607

I feel like i wanna get over this thing once and for all but dont have what it takes.

No addict has was it takes.
That's the definition of addiction.
Dov is right, you ARE fighting Mike Tyson.
And you are powerless.

So what to do?

Well, if you want what Dov has, do as Dov does...

Read his reply again on this page (reply #194)

Oy, how many guys come onto GYE saying, yay, I found what I'm looking for, I'm gonna be clean from now on! And they succeed for a few days and fall, and then again, and again, and again... There are certain secrets to LIVING that an addict needs to learn before he will see long term success. Those secrets can be found on DC's calls, SA groups, and perhaps also in therapy...

If we want freedom, we may have to pay for it in time and effort. Oh well, just like anything else important in life...

So, is it important to you? It sure seems it is...

Lots of Love,
GYE

Ive been crazy busy lately dealing with a sick kid that Ive posted very little.
I look through all the new posts and pick only a few to answer coz simply have no time.
And I keep looking for you - and you aint been around!
See, moms do notice!

Sorry to hear about your fall and subsequent downer.
Falls have to happen sometimes.
Downers dont.

The yh (or Mike T) got you cornered.
1) You can raise your hands in surrender,
2) jab him with your right and hope nothing breaks,
3) or shout "Hey, whats that?"
then point behind him, and when he turns to look,
run for your life.
Personally I suggest the third.
Only any idiot fights MT.

And you are no idiot! :D

Guard the one thing you left out here is ....MONEY. And i dont have what it takes to pay for therapy. And no i didnt think that coming to the sight was gonna solve all my problems. I just thought it wold help. Which it has. But i also understand that I have to do the real work and im saying im not sure if i have what it takes. Now to you and Mom; im still not sure what this give your fight over to G-d is all about. I fell if i do that theres no way ill get pst this. Am i wrong?????? ??? And for the millionth time i really want a sponser but it doesnt seem theres anyone out there. Or so it seems. Ive requested and havent gotten any response. Mom do you do sons too?? Well this one has a really cute baby girl that youd really love so many that can be some pull for me. :D And i really appreciate the fact that your looking out for me. Everyone on here makes such a differnce to me. Something that youd probaly all neer understand. But thanks a million.

Hey Letakain i thought you were into ice cream?? Ok i guess doughnuts go with ice cream more than sushi. Ugh! ;D ;D
