Congrats on 3 years Jerry. The internal megabytes at KTC got so excited for you the whole damn site blew up for a couple days! Thanks for all your support and friendship and Happy Thanksgiving.
Its too bad the site was down so that we all couldn't relish in our mutual admiration of your 3 year mark. You're a legend here Jerry and moreover, a great friend to me and many others. Congratulations.
Congrats on 3 yrs. That is just plain outstanding!

Thanks so much for all the kind words. I couldn't have made it this far without every one of you. You are all my brothers and sisters and I feel so fortunate to have found this place. It has saved and changed my life. I just got back from a week long vacation and I honestly did not have one thought of dipping. I remember in the beginning I was so worried that I would crave and think about it all the time. That it would never get better. I am so glad it doesn't stay that way. Freedom is such a beautiful thing! Thank you all!!!!!
