Make that lifeline stronger by the day -- reach out to guys that post to your thread, that have stories that resonate with you, or have avatars that make you blush -- whatever the reason, no one will be offended if you initiate contact and say "I could use some help". If folks don't offer up their numbers, move on, and don't dwell on it. More than anything else, use the numbers you get -- don't rely exclusively on PMs or trying to answer questions as quickly as possible in various threads. When the crave comes, the suck fills your head with a dense fog, and / or you can't think straight, send out a text. You can do this, just take it One Day At A Time (ODAAT).
