Same here. CMARK suggested this intro.

Looks like you have finally reached that place where you, way deep down inside, want to be quit. You've found home.

Every damn day make the promise here to your brothers and sisters and, most importantly, to yourself.

The days stack up. Slowly at first, no doubt.

The agony continues, but each day infinitesimally less.. Those infinitesimal days begin to add upon each other, and before you know it that other person you described realizes that THEY are going to lose the battle. And you come out on top.

Just keep posting daily.. NO EXCUSES. Once you allow yourself a "pass" for missing roll, you've already lost.

EDD and you win. You make a daily 24 hour promise not to use, honor your word and beat the nic. It really is that simple.

Thank you all...proud to be quit with you today.

Richard - it has been awesome to watch you win and grow stronger each day. There will be bumps ahead, but one day at a time you are earning freedom.

Wow. Great intro, Richard. I wonder how often in life you have let yourself get that honest with yourself? And the thing is, we all get it. That is why it is so important for you to be here.

You can do this.


It is rare that we let him do that. It's so embarrassing when he acts up like this. Please don't encourage him.

Impressive Richardc. Most people never see how others see them. Double digits for you today and that is another milestone. WE know you can do this, one step at a time brother. CJ
