Much Hatzlacha!
My Threads: Glad to be here Don't slip it hurts Lions & Tigers & Internet, Oh My! --"ולא המדרש עיקר, אלא המעשה" --"To promise not to do a thing is the surest way in the world to make a body want to go and do that very thing." Mark Twain --"If, when you honestly want to, you find you cannot quit entirely, or if when drinking (or lusting), you have little control over the amount you take, you are probably alcoholic (or sexaholic)."

 For a few minuets, I actually experienced white knuckling. In the past, I never had a chance to white knuckle before I actually gave in. Maybe I should be happy that I was white knuckling. HOW THE BEEP BEEP BEEP DO YOU NOT GET ANGRY AT YOURSELVES WHEN YOU ACT SO BEEPIN STUPED!Excuse me please for the beeping. I needed to get that out of my system. I feel like there is no hope for me, because I'm not prepared to go to any meetings. I guess I should be happy and build on the fact that I did hesitate before. small comfort with comforts like that, who needs enemy's  why can't they make a sadder emoticon

I really feel for you guys - looks like the last month or so has been tough for a lot of us (including me). I'm still picking up the pieces, if you know what I mean
it hasn't been easy. And I completely agree, we need a crying emoticon on the message palette and there just simply isn't one! Where is the crying emoticon just when you need it???
