I am going to go with -4. If you can find a way to bottle their energy, enthusiasm for life, and compassion you would be a very rich man.

Does Josie like her pussycats?

also D2R you need to get out of scottsdale, that place cannot be good for you at all. I'd rather live in AJ than snottsdale.

Yes, I agree, I hate it here in snobbsdale, if your not rich your not really accepted and I'm far from rich. I was thinking of moving down south some day like Atlanta. I visited friends in Atlanta for a couple weeks and I just loved the south.

I want to get a massage but I am a bigger guy and I have heard that the only true relief from tension and stress for men of my size can come from a male masseur. Plus I am furry - will I have to pay a premium?

No, you should be fine unless you ask for a happy ending.

I am bored and still have some time before I can bump my sale thread so I have decide to offer some more stellar advice. Ask away!

Is size really important to women?

Size of heart...yes
size of wallet ...yes
size of penis...it depends. Some women find a large penis uncomfortable. I think the right fit is necassary to make a good connection. My friend slept with someone who was large but had no clue how to use the equipment.

In rehab most addiction counselors were former addicts or either knew someone who suffered from addiction. I think I knew maybe one or two out of hundreds who became addiction specialists with no personal experience. In rehab us addicts seemed to respond better to the counselors who were former addicts because we felt like they know more what they are talking about. Like they can understand. However my last counselor wasn't a former addict though and I thought she was the best one I ever had.

I wish I could string together a year of sobriety but the longest I have ever gone was six months. The cravings just take over once I reach six or so months and it becomes the only thing on my mind. So basically, since I was 14 I have never been sober for more than six months. I don't respond well to AA because when I'm around other addicts the conversation of drugs comes up and it triggers cravings for me. They say we should hang around other recovering addicts but I am very prone to relapsing when someone else does. I'm rambling...so anyway, trading cards are cool

Same here. What I have found works for me is to re-read the blue book when I'm feeling weak. The first year is the hardest. After that it does get more manageable. At least it did for me. I'm coming up on 7 years clean this summer.

All you need is the desire to not use, and don't isolate yourself when you are feeling the urge to use. Reach out to others. You are not alone.

Also try and focus on whats going good for you in life. Its the nature of addiction to dismiss all the positives in your life, and just focus on that one thing that is negative.

Don't feel bad about relapsing either. Happens to all of us. I've relapsed twice, and the second one almost took my life. I'm proud of you for making it 6 months. Keep up the good work!
