The 12 Step Program to recovery
Hi, I'm Chain.

I'm a compulsive motorcyclist (Step 1, Admission).

I'm stuck in a nasty cycle ... buy new bike, mod to hell, sell at loss; repeat.

Please help me break my habit.

If I don't make a change soon, it's going to cost me my relationship, my personal financial well being, my friends and family's trust and respect, and will no doubt precipitate untold ad hominem attacks against me.

I've enrolled in a new local program here in the Omaha metro area designed to help people like me. It's called Mad Modders Not So Anonymous. If you could see fit to kindly donate $1 to my PayPal account (for purposes of ongoing counseling or my next mod, whatever the case may be), I'd greatly appreciate it. You can send PP donations to -> opdsgt@yahoo.com

Warm regards and fuzzy handcuffs,

Chain

You are among the friends I have who I know I can count on for a buck. Goes to a good cause and is tax deductible.

Re: The 12 Step Program to recovery


It seems that you are well on your way. One of the hardest parts is to admit your transgressions in an open forum. This will draw out the demons within.



Now go out a buy a new can your toy.
