Congratulations JohnnyZZ-over the top! You are doing a fantastic job with the double barrel shot gun approach to your gambling and drinking!!!!

You have dove into the deep end of the pool head first, and have not missed a stroke in terms of participating daily on this board. This speaks volumes to the commitment and conviction you possess to not have these beasts destroy your life.

Time to take your life back, johnnyZ, just like you've been doing.....one day at a time! So like the Drill Seargant says to the new recruit.....Get down and give us 30 more.

Congratulations again, Johnny. Be proud of what you've accomplished, because I know we are of you!

Be well and stay strong!!!!

Love Tagg
