haha This is a good point! I think after we all battle with the addiction so much before AVRT it seems like we should get some sort of medal of honor for the battle but really, what do we want? Flowers and balloons for deciding to stop ruining our own lives and the lives of others around us?

Sometimes I really am amazed that I was able to turn 180 degrees from my recovery group views...with lots of help from TU and everyone here though. I think I hated TU for a while because he kept sending deprogramming links and even worse, asked me if I actually read them. lol

avrtisian, I suspected for a while too that TU might be Jack Trimpey or a Jack Trimpey minion. Or maybe Trimpey has a team of highly trained AVRT'ers that go about spreading the word....or maybe I just watch too many movies. haha
