The reality of the situation is, 12 step programs don't require you to believe in a god, but a higher power, or something more powerful than yourself that can help you change. For me, for a while, that power was all the other people who were there trying to help me.
2. My primary source of motivation today is my love for what I do. I'm the type of person that gets really bored and lazy if I'm not extremely interested in what I'm doing. Luckily I've found a job that interests me and that I'm good at. For me, waking up and working is what I love doing, so it doesn't even feel like work.

Makes sense, I wish my cousin had the guts to pull through like you did instead of ending up in jail again... maybe some day.
@Super, a lot of what you say holds truth. At the end of the day though, there is one striking difference between you and the rest of us 'cock suckers', absolutely no one here vested close to the amount of emotional energy you have towards nicky. Most, if not all of us come here for tits, laughs and drama.
You, having some kind of past with nicky(that doesn't correlate with what most of us come here for) has taken time + emotion to discover some universal human traits. You point to nicky and laugh like he's the only one who has them. They're very simple truths and can be found in anyone on earth if one looks carefully enough - They are,
Everyone is a hypocrite.
Everyone lies.
Everyone works to their own advantage.
If you wanted your revenge you got it man.
edit: I noticed as I was typing this that thread post count went down like 7 posts (all of supernova's posts), he hadn't stated anything else but his personal opinions.
