Good decision James .


Well it's funny because I currently work as an Addictions Counselor for the Navy now. I tell the guys to buy an RC and join our club instead of wasting their money on booze. One of the topics in our treatment program lets them figure out how much money they spend on a weekly basis and almost all of them were dumbfounded to find out exactly how much they were spending. Needless to say, our club is bigger now.

Let me officially start the group session now.

Hehe, I have one vice, and that is trying to push my luck as far as I can... I am pretty good at it, but I tend to get carried away sometimes, that is when the fun (problems) start. I am a decent wordsmith and make my living talking myself up and making people like/trust me. Not really sure if i am a decent guy, or just full of shit (honestly, I have thought about it). I just feel like a complex contadiction, I like people, yet love to be by myself while working. I listen to loud music, but like dead silence when I work. I can focus for hours, yet most conversation bores me in seconds. I guess I am selfish, shallow, and an elitist... But at least I have decent manners (thanks mom and dad) and try to make people laugh, even at my own expense (self-depreciating humor is easy). I do tend to over think things though...

Anyway, we have a great group here and we all enjoy spending money and building stuff! Can't go wrong with that!

yea linc admitting that you have a problem is the first step to recovery. Of course you have to want to recover. We all have our issues to deal with for sure linc, and none of us is perfect. I think alot of us in here have our own social issues, because we are somewhat anti-social in some way hiding from the rest of the world in our R/C shops, or we would not be into R/C and talking with people through a forum. Don't you think?? Just from some of the conversations that we have in this place lends me to believe that there are some pretty cool souls in here. All in all I think that the RCM gang is a pretty nice bunch of guys, and MIKE is the somewhat GOD of our communications.

sounds kinda like me. I had to take a psychiatric evaluation and they found I had traits of an anti-social personality disorder, and that my relationships were superficial. But I'll go with elitist
