Thank you Vorlan and the TTF Team!
Your hard work behind the scenes, making the time for this recognition for example (and the new badge..), helps to keep me motivated and alert in the ongoing effort to remain clean. Thank you very much!
A speech? I hardly ever have anything to say...
TTF is an Oasis in the midst of an online cultural desert.
This is the one place where you can find people who understand, can feel what you're feeling, can offer help in what has/hasn't worked for them, for encouragement to make it one more hour free. That's precious.
When I first arrived here, I was doing some minor research on the negative effects P renders in society at large. Specifically, I was reading an article where a Prnographer and a District Attorney were having a pro- and con- essay-style debate on the merits (or lack thereof) of the P industry. The Prngrapher's arguments were not coherent -no surprise there.
And in that bit of poking around I saw Through The Flame for the first time. I read FoolishMind's valiant posts in Half Pint's Journal, trying to reel HP in before he went away for a time (Original

To this day my favorite intro:

Probably without intending to, Foolish' efforts turned a light on for me: I can actually help people out of the same predicament I was in! Unbelievable!
How extraordinary that out of such wreckage, decades of PA, a marriage, Mrs. Daniel, the emotional hits she endured, and self-inflicted pain on my part...
Out of this, something Good could happen.
That is what makes my gears turn.
Long Live TTF.
