I think he means that although he doesn't have time to say anything more, he just wants to check in and tell us that he is still doing ok in regards to this addiction. When he has time he prefers to make much more lengthy posts (right boruch?). Correct me if anything I wrote here is incorrect.

Please forgive our appearance during this sobriety upgrade...


What do you mean by that?


What I mean is that since I am spending 6 hours a week on 12 step meetings (2 1hr meetings a week, each an hour travel time away, for a total of 2 hrs travel per meeting makes a lot of time I am not posting on this forum) my posts here have been reduced to copying and pasting previous placeholders in the hope that at some point I'll have some time to post something of value... sort of like a public building under scaffolding during reconstruction... if you get my gist... but it's not important if you don't...

Yes, Ano, and I suspect that Guard understood that but was intrigued by the "please excuse our appearance" comment... which for what it's worth (not very important) I explained above...

This article reminds me of what happened to you, Boruch, 45 days ago in that moment of clarity.

This is the awesome responsibility of yesh koneh olomo besho'o achas (see R' Chaim Shmuelevitz's schmuess of that title)... if it can be done in sho'o achas don't take kamo shonim, it's so much easier and so much better to do it the decisive way...

Chart updated. 50 days - Level 5, coming up very soon!

7 weeks of Sefira, like the 7 days of Nidda (see Ohr Hachayim) before the Yidden were able to break free from Tumas Mitzrayim and be worthy of KABBALAS HATORAH!

Well Guard, I don't know if you noticed but remember Jack? His 50th day was Simchas Torah in Eretz Yisroel. Guess when mine will be Bezras Hashem Yisborach...

Hodar Kibluhu biymei Achashveirosh... my 50th day is March 10th= Purim...

That is absolutely incredible!

I keep seeing time and time again, that when a person is determined and serious in his Teshuvah, Hashem shows him special signs - to show him how proud he is of him.

Rabbosei, on this forum Amalek is finally getting what he deserves!

Got a 60 day SA chip (token) at the regular weekly meeting I went to this evening.
