Loser because I do not have comments
How nice it is to have someone who is supposed to support you and have your back say "todd you do not have any comments on your page how funny is that" Good for the ol self-esteem.
To all the people out there like me that battle the daily grind of addiction/recovery know what I am talking about that shit hurts. I sit sometimes and wonder "why do I allow this crap to go on when I have the ability to change it" well it is not always that easy. The hard part is to function when the extra un-needed baggage is constantly being put in your face. Years ago it would have been right to the bottle to take it away and obviously that is not the answer today, so what is?
Someone just sent me an email that said the 3 hardest things to say to someone are 1. I love you. 2. I am sorry and 3. I need help. Man is that true. I am tired of saying the first 2 and dont want to say the 3rd.
Happy 4rth of July

Let me just tell you this, it takes a very strong person to say any of those three things. You my friend have said them all at some point in your life, and thank god you did, so that you can be here now doing what you do to help others. Keep up the good work, don't let ANYONE get you down. Peace!
Todd,
If you have the strength, and I know it is hard, I would politely ignore comments like that.
Comments like that are only said to hurt.
The person that said that should try to ask themself, why do I need to go negative. My life has enough hick- ups : ) , without me allowing my outlook to be down.
Positive is the only way to live, even in the midst of the storm.
10 years into my storm so far, and I still wake up like a tiger ready to be Positive no matter what.
The shrinks might call that denial, But then again I dont recall seeing them at the end of my last marathon !!! And probably wont see them at the next one either.
Hey, old habits die hard! I'm used to just emailing you my "comments". I'm not quite used to being able to "post" them quite yet! This is a great "addition" to your blog and one that we will all benefit from, the sharing and learning from each other.
Keep that smile going and don't let anyone get you down. You've brought many up that never thought they could get there.
I don't like "blogging" but I can't skim over this topic without posting a "comment". Crandell, don't you let ANYONE, make you feel like who you are or what you are doing aren't worthy of positive comments. You are the coolest, hippest, kindest, caring, and giving person I know. The world needs more people like YOU in it. Keep up the great work. You and R4R are AWESOME.
Peace
I get you.
