My Struggle - HalfPint

[castaway16]

Hooray! .. Awesome HP !! :) .. I'm really happy for you , and i really mean it ! .. because when someone, in this particular community, succeeds .. it feels like WE are victorious !! .. at least for one round. Then, round after round being won, by different "gladiators" everytime.. we will eventually win the war on P (I think this word is the best in describing the situation).

Glad you made it that far HP .. Thank You! :)

HP, congratulations on your achievement! I have enjoyed reading your journal and seeing your progress unfold over the last few months. Thank you for all that you have done to help others in their struggles as well. It is great to hear that your life has changed so much for the better, and I know that it is a source of strength and inspiration for others who may just be starting out on this path. Here's to the next 100 days, and the year and lifetime to follow! All the best my friend. I hope you did something to celebrate :)

so... just as the P free army wind down the bellowing of the trumpets following the Celebration of Dominus, the foghorns and bass drums are layed to rest, when suddenly... yes..its true...It is confirmed, HP has hit the BIG 1 0 0 Days. ABOUT TURN, The instruments are back up, the soldiers turn, and walk straight back out. Silence is turned to a thousand decibels as the crowds cheer down the streets, flags are waving with the picture of half empty milk bottles! Carnivals break out, and its is just one huge party!

The precession walks with pride for a mile gleaming at the crowds walking in the trails of the P free army's melodious tune. All then come to a halt, where HP Stands on a stage.

The crowds shout "SPEECH SPEEECH SPEEECH"

HP shuffles with his Microphone....crowds poised and anticipating his words of wisdom.... HP takes a deep breath....

" WOOT WOOOT WOOOT WOOOT"

The crowds expected nothing more!

Firstly, I want to thank you guys, your posts mean a lot to me.

Secondly, all I can do is quote dominus:

FM you are one crazy dude, where do you dream up this stuff? I wish I had half your imagination!

Thank you david, it was really encouraging reading your post. I think about it and you know, this success isn't just my success. Its everybody's success (everyone on the forums). If it wasn't for everyone on here, even the people that I was trying to encourage, I might not have made it this far. For me its encouraging to help other people. I was made to encourage and help people, its just part of me. without being able to do things for people I wouldn't be me. I guess even posting advice and encouraging notes to other people and having people do the same for me really helped me pull through. These past, now 104, days have been simply amazing. And like said before, sure, the "honeymoon" period may be over, and i dont have that "euphoric" feeling like I used to but you know, the strength and you guys (part of my strength) are still there. I can do this without the euphoria, I can do this, you can do this. Its a hard journey but you know, I have friends and I have support. As long as a person has friends and support, things don't seem so hard anymore, because your not the only one pulling the rope, others are helping you pull, and if their not helping you pull their helping you to at least stand, and you know, thats a wonderful feeling. so in all reality, you all need to give yourselves pats on the backs for these 104 days, especially foolish and dominus, 2 people who I hold close to my heart, you two have been there for me.

anyways, again, I thank you for that post david, it was truly encouraging.
