For the MWO members who are new you need to know this.
RJ started this site as a non-profit organization years ago to help others dealing with the problem of abusing alcohol. She did months and maybe even years of research until she found a plan that helped her, and of course many others. To this end she wrote a book armed with her research from Universities, medical sources and nutritional sources, it was an enormous job.
Many people who have started this program have gained success. Many have not, such is the problem of addiction. I can go on to name all of the successes, but no matter, many still struggle with this addiction because poor brain chemistry makes it so much more difficult.
A year or so ago this free site started to have financial problems. RJ does have administrative staff, etc. and she informed us that there would have to be advertising on the site, and that she would have to offer a Subscription site with all of the perks of games, private MWO site, etc., she even did a webcam meeting one night with all of the subscribers who wanted to participate, it was a great time (although I was out of town at the time). Many of us became subscribers immediately to "keep the lights on" for this site.
When you log on every day, even to report what you had for breakfast that this is a privately funded site. I see that many of you are ordering the ALL IN ONE from ebay, and that's okay, but don't forget that this site is free to all of us, but somebody is having to pay the administration fees and there isn't a great deal of income from the site, except for the Subscribers and the Health Food Store. Code Monkey has to have a salary right?
Many are so quick to complain when the site is out of order (minimally), but the funds don't come out of a break in a silver lining. The genesus of the site and the maintenance of this site comes from a very dedicated first original owner, RJ herself. She never appears looking for kudos or grandiose, she monitors the best she can, and we ALL owe her a great big THANK YOU and a lot of GRATITUDE for this site where we have all found so much support and life lasting friends.
