Shouldn't that be... you underestimate the power of the dark side... I must obey my master.

ItsMe23-I love it- 160 days right on. The Star Wars analogy was the best. Guess that makes me a nerd. I am what I am. Wait a minute you said super nerd. I am not sure that I'm ok with that.
Stimmed- Your secret is safe here. I'm a closet star wars junky. (SHHHHH)
LaFemme- Im still on the fence with Snape or am I just confused.

any who great job on the 160 days!

You dont know the power of the dark side, perhaps?

'Underestimate' is when they on the Death Star at end, sorry 23.

Lookinforward...Snaps is virtually a hero...did you not read the book....he was deep undercover in Voldemorts army the whole time....Harry even names one of his future kids....Albus Severus....after Dumbeldore and Snape....and yes I have All 7 books

I may have muddled the words a bit, i cannot remember the exact exchange. But its in episode 6 where luke turns himself over to vader. It is the conversation that takes place on the bridge before vader takes luke to the emperor.

I don't know Star Wars. I do know Princess Leia is sober now in real life!!!

Yeah can see it now. Luke got his back to Vader. Vader draws the saber, and Luke looks worried. I remeber it bc when first saw it as a kid, i thought, no way Vader's gonna do him in! heh.

But yeah great analogy 23. Actually i think its quite an encouraging one too. Not only to those new to recovery, but to a great many others. Including current users of any type of drug, even veterans who are clean.
Getting or 'Staying on the wagon' requires control. We all know where we need to be to achieve that, ...in charge heh.
Once we're on it, we should maybe see a relapse as giving up that control and failing ourselves, resulting hopefully in a 'think twice' frame of mind.

Heh, got to admit tho, stayin on topic bit difficult with STAR WARS! in the background. Or is it just me needin a career change!

Thanks mate, i was just looking for this thread i thought it had fallen into the black abyss of page 2

lookinforward

LaFemme- Read the books but unfortunately.....Lets say that period of my life is kind of fuzzy. I guess that is why I am on the fence. Details are not all there.
On the upside I can read most of the books and enjoy them all over again.

LaFemme

Lookin...I hear you....I have about 100 books that it will be like reading brand new cause I can't remember the first time I read them
May the Force be with you!
