Bruce,

For now concentrate on 2 things:

1.) As always, one day at a time.

2.) Set a goal which exceeds your previous achievements - e.g. 30 days.  When you, b'Ezras Hashem, are close to reaching 30, I have an idea - contact me then.

Also, please read my post here: rehab-my-site.com/guardureyes/forum/index.php?topic=1037.0

Have a wonderful Shabbos and Yom Tov.

Just as an alcoholic needs to avoid that first sip, a lust addict needs to avoid that first slip.Slip today? No way! ;)Fall today? No way, Jose'!

Thanks, Kedusha.


I think it's time I retreated to the Batcave for a bit. I'll still be here, just not as much of a presence (as if I'm posting 30 times a day as is).

I have to "take inventory".

As you know, I've been slipping and sliding for quite a while know.
BW - You know how much I like you (i hope) and all I can think of when you share this is: so? We are all slipping and sliding sometimes. That's life sometimes. What of it? reset? fine, reset...but life goes on and here we are getting better together. The old way just plain sucked, and any real success at all takes some time with this big-gorrilla-of-an-issue. No matter how much my (very) grandiose brain tells me "it's an event, yipee!!" - it isn't - it's a process, and you, chaver, are clearly in the process. No glory? Nu, maybe only Hashem get's the glory around here, sometimes.


I've got half a mind to just forget the whole counting thing altogether for now. Doing what I can to stay clean, but making no effort to reach 90. Just focusing on "clean".
You know how this is music to my little ears, but "recover", or "useful", is a better focus for me than "staying clean". The last thing I need is a gauntlet thrown before me...I can't help but pick it up! Then look out. Suprise! It's that Gorrilla again! (d'oh!!)

Crazy about you, bud.

I think he's still making sure the batcave is in order, not to mention that Wayne Enterprises is no small business venture.
Bruce, we are thinking of you and looking forward to your return...

He really is in the batcave on hiatus. With Hashem's help all will be well, though who among us has had it easy in recovery?

Rambly, flaky post.
By putting "rambly" before "flaky", you have revealed leaving no shadow of doubt that, in fact, your priorities are sorely in need some profound adjustment. I recommend a chiropractor. Crackkkk!
As proposed originally by Descartes, later by Ortega y' Gasset, and most recently by phil (the pleasant drunk who so frequently vomits in front of my shul), the term "flaky" should always be used in the present-syndesmotic proactive-participle position in any sentence. Bruce, it is sure nice to have you back. On the other hand, the term "rambly" most correctly is reserved for the place of "modifier" in conjunctive-past-passive sentence structure and I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about. In jive, for example, where syndesmotic modifiers are most often seen in the role of accusatory-vulgarized gerunds, we'd find: yo, mama, saywhat rambiln' flakaposto. This sounds almost Italian, to the discerning ear, leading some linguists to propose that jive sprouted out of Tuscany, after the inhabitants imbibed a bad batch of "grappe" (lo aleinu). Say, BW, keep in touch will ya?

Hic!

Hi there.
