Today was my first day without any withdrawal symptoms from heroin. Reddit, what was your proudest moment?

Sat, 26 May 2012 19:03:02 +0000

I consider today my first day as a recovered addict. I know I'll have cravings and symptoms again at some point, but I'm really proud of myself. Four years of addiction and seven months trying to quit an I finally did it! I'm really proud of myself :)

EDIT: I didn't think this would get so much attention. Thanks for all the support guys, and congratulations on all of your achievements :) I'm proud of all of you!

EDIT 2: I'm getting a lot of messages from people who are suffering from addiction. Feel free to message me for help, but please seek professional help as well. I'm just a kid (17) and I am in no way trained to help people recover from addiction.

Hey there guys. I've worked for Blizzard Europe from 2005 to 2010, exactly for five years. I can't talk about anything that happened since then, cause I'd have to speculate, also I cannot talk about any upcoming games, like titan.

Frontpage? Come on you guys.... you're making me blush. :)

So there it goes AMAA.

Edit: I'm having a blast you guys. This is really awesome. :)

Edit 2: How to become a GM: Just go to jobs.blizzard.com/ If you're 18 you should be fine. You should have proper "native language" (so english, german, whatever you're applying for) and you should not be a dick. But since you're on reddit you should be fine. Edit 3: You always have to work from the office, no working from home!

Edit 4: Alright you guys, 10 hours of AMAA are enough. I'll go to bed and answer any remaining questions when I wake up. I had a blast and, while I don't think I will, I hope to do one again. :)

IAMA WWII Marine Corps Combat Rifleman and Author. I am Sterling Mace. AMA about Okinawa.

Sat, 26 May 2012 16:05:35 +0000

Hi Reddit. My name is Sterling Mace. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1942-1945. I am 88 years old. I am also an author. http://us.macmillan.com/author/sterlingmace . My book came out on May 8th, 2012: Battleground Pacific: A Marine Rifleman's Combat Odyssey In K/3/5, from St. Martin's Press. http://us.macmillan.com/battlegroundpacific/SterlingMace. It is available all over the world, on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

I would like to focus primarily on the battle of Okinawa, but other topics are free game, such as the Great Depression, growing up in Queens, NY in the 1930s...or anything Marine Corps related.

On this Memorial Day weekend it is my goal to honor the riflemen who bore the brunt of our fighting in that war, as well as all servicemen, past and present. I wrote this book for you. Not for me. It is my honor to be among you today.

Since we're talking about OKinawa, here is an exceprt from my book about Okinawa that they made their own little story about:

I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for being here today. I guess this is closed now.

If you have any desire for me to come back, please let me know.

Happy Memorial Day,

Sterling G Mace
