Re: Addiction
Tod1d runs the meetings so he'll let us know when the next meeting is. The first step to recovery is admitting the problem- so good job. You are on your way to a recovery. Respectfully,

You’ve taken the first step! I’m proud of you spraining! I just came here hoping for some free coffee. Life is but a dream!splainin2do wrote:Is this support group still open? Because yes, I'm hooked!
I'll acknowledge the problem... but that's it. I can function still.. I think... perhaps... I don't need family or friends.. or a job... or food...

Re: Addiction
Wow! a real necro thread! I kind if like those as it's fun to look back on some of the BS I threw around here. And hell yeah Outrider! You are one of the OG's here and still kicking it, that's awesome!
As for the addiction it's like this. After a while you get used to it, your tolerance level comes up and you figure out how to cope. At this point, it's not an issue in a negative sense it is a positive because you've endured. This is when it becomes normal!
Now expecting a shoulder from straight up hunter Junkies? Now there's a ass slapper funny thought!
It's a lot different these days with the way they changed the whole monetary structure but back when, with new development constantly going on and the growth? It' a whole new ballgame. I have to believe that the revenue has drastically decreased because I haven't spent crap in a few years now when I used to drop a hell of a lot more just keeping up with the growth. I heard at one time EW had so much money rolling in they didn't know what to do with it all and THC was the cash cow that went towards developing their other Avalanche projects. Have to say, they did hit a homer with TH. I also heard some other numbers and stats that blew me away. I don't remember the exact details now but I know I was kind if shocked but also happy because it meant that this place was going to be around for a while.
Been a hell of a ride and as I've always said, it's about the people, and we have amazing folks and damn dedicated.

Re: Addiction
As usual, it's all BCKidd's fault... and my fault for sticking my nose into it! The people here are awesome for sure, and seem really great.

Are any of you watching TreeKiwi's video streams* on Thursdays, 10:00 AM EST? I'll watch as I can on YouTube while I'm at work. He had an exciting day, as his little one stood up on his own for the first time just a few minutes before the stream started.

Re: Addiction
Just got back from the Gym, but I was thinking about hunting ducks, Geese, and ptarmigans and the looks and sounds of double barrel shotgun while doing my bench presses. Or debating in my mind if I was going to attempt to use a bow on hunting birds. I need help if that's even possible! I know well there are other things that should be on my mind a lot more. This is what happens when I start playing this game again.
