Larry, yeah I read the article and it forwarded me here to this site. I joined right away. I haven't been on the wagon very long either so I guess it's a perfect starting point for all of us.
My parents gave me extreme tough love. they kicked me out last week. I lost my job, my car and my dignity and now my home. I am living in my old catholic's school's convent. Which is ironic cause I haven't been a virgin since 5th grade and I lost it in the school yard. But my aunt is a nun there and she gave me a room.
