About LinkBacksHello All
As a relatively new user myself, I wanted to highlight one of the key attributes this site offers.
To be honest, I have had relapses since joining this site a couple of months ago, but I wanted to briefly talk about a powerful, positive trend that has been developing for me.
Over the last couple of months, I have turned the computer on either intending to act out, or have inadvertently found my way to some of my old P sites.
On a few occasions now however, even if I have started with that intent, I have forced myself to visit this site first.
THIS SITE CAN BE A POWERFUL TOOL.
On those occasions, just spending some time here, checking out threads, responding to others' battles, and learning more and more about the destruction wreaked by the P industry has been enough to disaude me from acting out.
I encourage everyone to make this site your home page, and every time you log on, regardless of your ultimate desitination, spend some time here first - it's a great investment.
Best of success to all in their struggle

Good post Bombers,
I initially started coming to this site for a positive thing to do on the computer. It has now grown into a daily 'community' for me. I feel like I have made many friends here. I want to log in every day just to see how everybody is doing.
My computer is now used positively, instead of being the tool for my acting out.-Mell
"Victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats. Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence and thus each obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better..... or quit. Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them,...avoid them, and you throw away your future." -Og Mandino
Don't give up. Don't ever give up.

I second that, it's a great idea. I used to tell my husband over and over, "It's only a tool if you use it".
This, of course, applies to us SO's too!
all the best,

Bombers -that is excellent advice, thank you very much for putting it our for consumption -there's a good chance many of the newer members haven't thought of this as a tool to guarantee clean web use.
Also, when you feel like you don't want to start here, that's a Sure Signal that you need to badly!
