Steve? We're all missing you here!

Aifo my favorite pickle? I hope you didn't get too sour? A pickle needs to be bold!!!

CAN A PICKLE BE TOO BOLD?

Hi guys. 4 am here.

Thanx for everyone worrying about me. BH, I'm OK. Thanx HB for the good words. Muchly appreciated.

Still clean n' crazy after all these days.

I woke up w/ a shilshul, came downstairs to type up a devar torah for this page, but BH got to chat with an overseas friend who I hope I was michazeik. So the devar torah will wait a day. BH torah is eternal, and i'm using the GM Berachos for my crib notes, so I dont think I'll forget it. At least, BH I know why HKB"H woke me up. I just wish he had done it an easier way...

You all should know that on the weekends it is VERY difficult for me to post, as home affords me no privacy during the day, and GYE is my little secret.

Have a GREAT DAY everyone!! Haba & OL, hope you're both on track!!

BTW, the L'chaim I didn't go to? My wife brought up pictures on facebook, glad I didn't go.

They had the vort tonite, and I didn't go to that either, BH. Found today i had a little weakness in town for the beautiful people, didn't need to test my resolve again.  And I'm not drinking anymore (sorry Bards), so I didn't have that incentive either. 

G'nite & G'day!!

Great to hear from you, looking forward to hearing more!

It is ncie when Hashem shows us that our decisions were right, just in case there was any doubt beforehand (which, by the way, I never had - even if it turned out that everyone dressed ok, you made the right decision at the time. It's like being offered a 75% chance of winning the lottery for $5 - you might not win, but you made the right decision by buying).

Have a superb week!

hello to you steve.
i just tell you that HABA  & me are still OK.

if you OK so we too, very simple...

you are the rock! the bomb!

love you bother.
KUTGWG!!

OL,

after a day of shilshul, i'd rather be a rock than a bomb.

But i appreciate your words anyway...

Lova u all, see you later.

Glad you are OK.  KUTGW!!

Refuah Shlaima U'krova...Bananas! No more pickles for now.

ROCK BOMB who cares,

you still clean and thats the point!  8) 8)

Shilshul or kilshul S'macht nit Ois  :D

No more drinking steve?? What in the world is that supposed to mean?? I think your gonna get docked for a couple of days!! > > > >

just a quick note to let u all know I'm alive and well, even tho' I could be better. Dr. gave me a choice: $100 of meds or go into the hospital and get it all thru IV. I chose the meds.

But I'm homebound, and unless i get mamash privacy i cant read or post here. SOOOOO, I'll check in again 2morro, if and when I can.

Love u guys. Really do.

Oh, man! Refu'ah Sheleimah! Wish I could come visit you, but you know I'm davening for you and thinking of you.

Oy, poor Steve! Refua Shleima!
Take care of yourself. I find that once I take care of myself spiritually, I also tend to start taking care of myself physically (eating better, exercising a bit). Do you find this too?
Thinking of you too,

Hi kids!

Well, I guess I must learn to make a beter Asher Yatzar. I take my body for granted, that's 4sure.

BH stayed out of the institution. It's also much safer for the environment. HaMaven Yaavin.

When I'm stuck home, and I finally get privacy, I run to check the forum and emails from the chevra. Funny the diff bet what i USED to rush to do when I was alone, and what I'm doing now... visiting holy sites and emails, giving chizuk. And most important for ME, GETTING chizuk.

Funny thing happened tho, on the way to the forum  :

2 days ago, I passed a not unattractive custodial woman in the hallway on my way out of the Dr.s office, in the past I would have stolen 2nd and third looks at her, even tho I was walking with my wife, and even tho I felt sick as a dog. When I realized I could avert my gaze so easily, and didn't feel that old pang of a lost chance, and that I basically didn't really care what she looked like, I said over & over again BH, BH. BH. Thank you Hashem for bringing me to this point. IT FELT SOOOOO GOOD! It's NOT control - it was BLESSED INDIFFERENCE!!

Guys, BELIEVE ME, I am no more special than ANY OF YOU. If I can do it, ALL OF YOU SURELY CAN!!!

Just keep going!!! Don't give up, and WE WILL ALL MAKE IT TOGETHER!!!
