I still want to talk, but want to thank those that PM'd me. Those that are reading this thread may like to know that there are many more people like myself dealing with this, and many not dealing with it but willing to talk.

Thanks ATOT for everything.

Going along with what notfred said, I really do have a lot of respect for what you do and the stuff you probably have to put up with everyday.

Wow, I don't know what to say...

You're a very compassionate man. Just remember to turn some of that compassion on yourself.. You can get through this time in your life, and you should know that the people of ATOT are here to support you 110%...

I appreciate everything that has been said, and most of you have been around long enough to know me. Thanks to Insane3D for chatting with me.

You've taken that all important first step.

You've helped a lot of people, and now you're helping yourself. I have a lot of respect for you.

Wow, reading this was an experiance in itself.

I remember reading a few posts from you about your job and I have always thought that what you do is truly one of the most unselfish profession there is and for you to think of it as a calling is even more admirable. If it really is a calling and helping people is something that makes you happy then you shouldnt let anything stop you find some other ways to help people.

But just from my own experiance the people who are often trying to help the most are those who need help the most. It seems that the feeling you get when you help someone is the reward and you often do it just to make you feel happy and making the other person happy is just an afterthought. Dont know what else to say, hope you will get through this soon and get back on track. Take care.

Whoa, haven't seen you around since Rally's forums went tits up. Sorry your leg is still giving you problems and sorry to hear about the addiction. They are never fun to deal with, I am working on my own right now. Nothing too bad but I am getting to the point where I know I am going to have a problem if I don't change my habits now. You still in Vegas or did you move?

Being in the trade (albeit it in a limited fashion), I have a lot of respect for all that you medics do and see and put up with.

Godspeed on your journey and good luck!

I spoke to a certain "vacationed" AT'er for 3 hours last weekend. Most of it was concerning web hosting :)

PM me your number, I am Skype-less.

The Vulcans said it best- Live long and prosper :)
Everybody can do what I did, just takes a bit of compassion.

not everyone has compassion.

God Bless

I have a hard time believing you are this good of a person, but think it may be true. Maybe you, Jokersmoker, and I can conference call.

Good luck 911... you should probably see a therapist because you've been through alot, from the sound of it. It would probably do you some good to talk to one.

Take care of yourself 911paramedic. We've had nef fests and conversations here over the last couple years and you always are one member i respect. Always have and always will. make sure you keep us updated on your progress and how everything is going.

If i could ask, do you talk with your son about this stuff? are you close? I know if my dad was going through something like this, i'd like to know and i'd be sure to spend a lot more time with him.
