ACMESkydiver 0 #27 January 2, 2004 QuoteTo anyone out there who realizes that they have a problem with any kind of addiction and has trouble coping, ask yourself "Does this ----- have more control over me than I do myself?". If you have to answer yes then you need to get mad! Get mad and stay mad, mad at the very thought that some "Thing" has control of you! Rebel, fight,make your stand and then "Pray" for extra strength to win your battle. Worked for me Gosh Chile...but I don't wanna quit jumping...~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
