Wow - amazing! Go and make a party - buy yourself a piece of cake, or some other treat that you'll enjoy, and celebrate! Think about it, and realize that what you've done, what you're doing, is truly worth a celebration!

We had a TV too once. One day my wife called me at work and told me it had melted. Just like that, right on itself...miracle the house didn't burn down. It was a 'surgical strike' by HKB"H....yes, apparently He does have that kind of technology! Amazing.

So it has been almost ten years without a TV in the house and it's been great. Of course, the computer can be pretty bad but with K-9 on it and me not wanting to throw my life away by looking at crap, Hashem is let in this home to help us all out. Things are good, b'chasdo Hagodol, that is all I can say.

Be well.

I feel for you, Jamie. I'm on day 13 myself, and I can identify with all those feelings you described. What keeps me going is the trust that I have that it will NOT be like this always, and that's where the whole 90-day thing comes from.
Keep your chin up. You're feeling the exact same things those that are a couple of years clean -- like Dov, for instance -- felt when they first started out.
Hey, nobody said it's easy, but you can do it. If I can -- although I haven't yet -- so can you...

All the best,
Shmilu

KEEP ON LORRYING!


OH HERE FROM THE BBC (BIG BEN CHIMES)
Lorry fire on M11 burns 17 tonnes of magazines 
A lorry carrying 17 tonnes of magazines has burst into flames on the M11, leading to a one-way closure of the motorway.

The vehicle caught fire at about 1100 BST and was under control an hour-and-a-half on Thursday. The magazines are believed to have been destroyed.

The motorway had been closed between junctions four and five into London but has now reopened.

The Highways Agency said motorists should avoid the area if possible.

A London Fire Brigade spokeswoman said: "It was an articulated lorry carrying paper which is believed to have caught fire.

"It was approximately 17 tonnes of magazines and it was very badly damaged.

"We had two fire engines and about 10 firefighters."

The flames were under control by 1242 BST.

Firefighters were unable to say why the lorry had ignited but an investigation is under way.
