    Fantastic! May it always be easy for you to resist.

    EDIT: Sorry I didn't clue in to the age of the thread. Brue, that's terrible. Last year I set up an intervention for a relative of mine, someone I used to consider the brother I never had, and at this point it's anybody's guess whether he'll go the distance. It's a horrible thing to watch for all the helplessness and powerlessness you feel. I wish you the best.

          My condolences Brue.

          And props to you again T3.
          You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                            Thanks all for the thoughts and prayers - I am terribly sad but she sufferd alot in the past 4 years mentally and physically much due to addiction. JC gave her a new body so I know she is alright now.

                            John - sorry i piggy backed / hijacked your thread. I didn't want a my mom died thread and i wasn't going to post at all but I do want people to be able to see both how devastating addiction can be and at the same time see that we do not have to succumb to it. That's why i stuck it here.

                                Brue, I have a loved one who suffers from addiction and it's often a struggle for me not to be taken down myself as an enabler/addictive personality myself.

                                Over the years I've ping ponged back and forth between my toy and comics collecting and physical activity as a coping mechanism. However I've been on a bit of a downhill slide on the physical side of things for a couple of years now.

                                Meeting you at Mego Meet really inspired me. And as silly and fun as your many costumes changes were, they were as much a part of it as just casually chatting about doing races around the custom table. When I went back to the hotel, I told Jen that I was going to pull out my superhero jerseys and start entering various racing events again.

                                When I got home, I signed up for the Toronto City Chase, and had a great time doing it. Now I'm signed up for a 24 hour event in Montreal in August, and I'll be climbing back into my Spider-Man skin-suit (20 pounds heavier than I was two years ago).

                                I just wanted to say Thanks.
