Welcome Back!

As many of you know, I have been absent as of late, due to an overwhelming and indeed lifealtering addiction. Only those of you who have been the victims (as I truly see us) of substance abuse can understand how desperate and impossible a situation it truly is to find oneself in. There is seemingly no escape. Perhaps I'm not entirely justified in referring to Pokemon as "substance." I suppose it would be more proper to say "e-substance abuse." I have had my wife hide my gameboy, and I am attempting to quit cold turkey. It is tragic how this all began. The enslaving shackles of habit were too small to be sensed until they were too strong to be broken. My wife feels it is unfair that I have asked her to keep the gameboy from me, since I will undoubtedly become irrational and angry, and that will be directed at her. But I need all the help I can get. I've only been "clean" for two days, and I already miss Pikachu, and Jigglypuff, and all the others.
I ask for everyone's support, and thank you in advance for your prayers. It is difficult, once something takes hold of your entire life, to turn your back on it completely.
