I'll join the 3 cat group, also!. One of them has adopted the HP computer I use here as it's resting spot while I type. I think some cats sleep 16-18 hours/day...and I am ready to come back as a cat in my afterlife...as long as it's in an indulgent home like this one.

Lot's of Smiling Jack's around, too. A long-gone cartoon strip was called "Smiling Jack"...and I adopted it as my CB nickname when the Citizen Band radio craze hit the US during the last energy crisis in the late 70's. I have a lot of stories with the nickname over the years.

Will power definition I just read: is the control of one's impulses and actions. In my recovery, I find I rely on my willpower most of the time, and when my control of my impulses fades away, I beat myself up. If in my recovery, I turn my recovery over to my HP, and then I "go with the flow" after that.....I just don't know. I don't feel I have done that really when I have worked the steps. I take control back...I guess for better or for worse.

I would like to make that a topic for OS discussion. Who has given their recovery to their HP, and how has it worked?
