Welcome to the secular side! There are a few people on this thread who don't normally post in Sec-Ville.
Good to have you all here, whether you're just dropping by or plan on sticking around.
The reality show thing works for me. I kinda like Intervention, especially the real train wrecks like Allison the computer duster huffer girl. It's terrifying that it can get that bad, and I don't want to go back. I see shadows of myself in those people.
My problem with the accountability method is that honestly, I'm really only accountable to myself. I've never had much of a guilt complex, either.
Occasionally I like to pick a Thursday night, about 10:45, and drive down The Strip here in town. It's a little section of town just off campus that has a high concentration of bars. The college kids are there, and it's jam-packed with idiotic behavior. It always reminds me why I had to quit.
