This site is the greatest! If I go a day without logging on I begin to get mean and nasty. I think I'm addicted. 8O

Should we start a twelve stop program?

I admitted I was powerless over El Camino Central — that my online life had become unmanageable.

I came to believe that a power greater than myself could restore me to sanity.

I made a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of God as I understood Him.

I made a searching and fearless moral inventory of myself.

I admitted to God, to myself, and to other human beings the exact nature of my wrongs.

I am entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

I humbly asked him to remove my shortcomings.

I made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

I made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

I continue to take personal inventory and when I am wrong promptly admitt it.

I sought through prayer and meditation to improve my conscious contact with God, as I understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for me and the power to carry that out.

Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, I tried to carry this message to others with the same problem, and to practice these principles in all my affairs.


Wait, wait! This is a GOOD THING! :D

Ha, great post! You a friend of Bill W?

Don't know a Bill W. but I do know a Bill M. and Bill J. Bill J. had an 80ish Elky but I haven't seen him in many years. Is Bill W. in the IT world or just someone I might run into at the asylum? :lol:

Sometime, when collecting my wits (I know what you guys are thinking) at work, I slip over to my other computer and read a couple of posts and maybe make one myself. The site stays up all day and then all evening when I get home. I find it entertaining and enlightening. Then I can go back to doing whatever with a fresh perspective.

Perhaps some other may be able to answer this more correctly, as I have some knowledge about this, but not alot.

Bill W. is one (or the ) founding member of the Alcoholics Anonymous support program.

I have attended about 4 or 5 meetings in the last couple years, sometimes in support of others that need a friend to go with them, and other times as I felt the need to go.

But you are correct, ECC can become an addiction.

know that as your elcamino gets more stable, your addiction will subside. When I first started working on her, i was on here every few hours for one thing or another.

Now that the majority of the gremlins are out of the system, I tend to logon once every couple days unless I'm waiting for responses to some of my own questions.

I find that reading others questions spawns new ideas or thoughts regarding.my own problems, or things like "Oh thats what that noise I haven't identified yet might be"

But I second your main point here in that this site is awesome. Great job Robert maintainting and keeping it growing. Its hard to believe its only been 7 months since I've been on here.

I feel better and I'm doing better, too. I went all afternoon with logging in and I did some work on the Elky and my cousins fossil fuel golf cart. Of course, I'll have to post the results of working on the Elky in the Ignitions forum.

I wonder is there is a golf cart site "out there" somewhere? :lol:
