One-third of Europeans blame the economic crisis on....
by BurnTheShips inda jooooooooooooooooos!.
hitler jr. must be waiting in the wings:.
the organization, which says its aim is "to stop the defamation of jewish people and secure justice and fair treatment to all," says the seven-nation survey confirms that anti-semitism remains strong.. the poll included interviews with 3,500 people - 500 each in austria, britain, france, germany, hungary, poland, spain.. it says that in spain, 74 percent of those asked say they feel it is "probably true" that jews hold too much sway over the global financial markets.

8 Months sober and going strong
by digderidoo ini haven't really posted here much lately, i think it's because being old skool i cannot get used to the new format, but thought i'd check in.. i posted long and hard here the first half of last year about my alcoholism and attending aa, so thought i'd give a short update for anyone who remembers and gave me a lot of advice, which i am grateful for.. my last drink was may 30th, so i am now 8 months sober.
i hardly ever crave or even want a drink anymore, if i do it's when i think that maybe i can handle one or two on a night out or something.
but it soon goes, when my head kicks into gear and realise that i can't.. i used the aa alot in the early stages.

I never knew life could be so awesome sober! I'm also back to pursuing my degree, I don't know about you but learning is fundamentally easier with a sober brain. The science behind what alcohol does to the body and the brain is scary.
Well done to you too jeeprube. I feel exactly the same, just over a year ago i could never envisage life without alcohol, or even without the lifestyle and social circle it brings. The first few months were hard, but now it's just a way of life, that is so much better.

I used the AA alot in the early stages. I tend to do more reading now to keep my mind active on my alcoholism, i haven't given up on AA but have cut down drastically the amount of meetings i attend. I also use www.soberrecovery.com which is a massive help.
So thought i'd give an update, degree is going well and my scuba diving, two things i have taken up in sobriety.

I did last year for the first time in 12 years. It was after i sobered myself up, i'd spent the previous 13,14 years drinking heavily, eventually realising that i had become an alcoholic.
Upon getting sober i felt a spiritual connection that i wanted to explore. The first point of call was what i was used to. I had always felt that i was forced to fade from the JW's, after going through a messy divorce, my ex wife came from a large JW family, so fading was the easy option.
I felt as though i needed to explore the JW's for myself now. The only difference now was that i went back, knowing all that i had i learnt....607 thing, UN thing, Child abuse, etc, etc . I sat in the KH thinking what a croc o'shit. Ultimately i went to one day at the convention, the thing that hit me was first of all a sister standing up on the platform saying how she didn't go to her disfellowshipped brothers wedding...next thing applause, applause from the 8,000 there. The next thing a young pioneer sister saying he she'd given up an education to go into pharmacy and now works in a coffee shop...applause, applause from the 8,000 strong crowd.
It soon hit me that this was not God's organisation. The nostalgia element was good, a bit like putting on an old pair of comfy slippers, but i'd got new ones now. It was said to me by someone on this board which really hit home....had you been brought up a Mormon, you would be saying how you had just gone back to the Mormon church for a few meetings.
If you really think you'd like to go, then go back for a few meetings, you'll soon realise how what you have learnt since cannot fit in with what you hear from the platform...you'll then have to question what your real motives are for being there.
