Ask Nicky Anything About His Past Thread.

Nicky, you can't go making a thread here and then deleting posts in it because you disagree with them, even if they are overly retarded and useless. That's censorship and if you remember back to how upset you got with me when I was doing it to you, it works both ways dude. Just let people say what they want and don't take it so personally, ya know?
If you have nothing good to contribute here, then don't post at all dipshit. I restored your post and the others because they shouldn't be censored but you're still being a retard.
-The federal computer crime was some bullshit like "unlawful computer use". They had a bunch of other charges they were going to stick me with, but decided to not persue after I completely changed my life. Unfortunately, these assholes at this college I messed with wouldn't let up, and the feds were forced to charge me something like 4 years later.
-Hardest drugs? Toward the end it was speedballing (shooting coke/h mixed).
-No I don't drink anymore. Alcohol wasn't my biggest problem, but I'm not in recovery if I'm drinking. Do I think I would have alcohol problems if I drank these days? Maybe, maybe not, but if there's any chance that drinking would lead to me doing drugs again which would inevitably lead to jail or death, the choice is pretty obvious.
What made me do all this stuff at 18? Was fun, at first anyway.
Thank you for that. Were you ever able to use the printed money in a successful transaction?
Once you got into AM, how and where did you learn the neccassry skills to become a super affiliate? Why were you able to do so good, when others fail all the time?
I don't know you personally but I do read your blog every now and then and respect what info you have shared in the past. But now I have real respect for you, because you are not just successful in am, but you also have went through some real shit most of us can't even imagine. /lovefest
Anyways, props to you for turning your shit around and don't worry about the drama.

I didn't know about the 12 step program, read up on wikipedia, there seems to be numerous statements about 'god' etc..
1. Did you get through this with your own personal willpower or did you metaphorically surrender yourself to your personal representation of a god?
2. What's the primary source of your motivation today? [Editretty much answered this with bofu2u's reply, but if you feel like elaborating more]
3. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
1. I think the reason people need 12 step programs is because they don't have any willpower. If i had willpower to quit I'd have done it before my life got fucked up. As for the "god" thing, people who go to 12 step programs who are looking for an excuse to keep drinking will often say they don't want to believe in god as a reason for why the program "doesn't work for them". The reality of the situation is, 12 step programs don't require you to believe in a god, but a higher power, or something more powerful than yourself that can help you change. For me, for a while, that power was all the other people who were there trying to help me.
2. My primary source of motivation today is my love for what I do. I'm the type of person that gets really bored and lazy if I'm not extremely interested in what I'm doing. Luckily I've found a job that interests me and that I'm good at. For me, waking up and working is what I love doing, so it doesn't even feel like work.
3. 5 years probably married with a kid or two and a nice house somewhere quiet.
I'm glad you asked. I was in a halfway house after my first attempt at a rehab. They kicked me out for using someones bike without asking, so I came back in the middle of the night, broke in, and stole the halfway house van, and was arrested the next day after driving through the hood and buying drugs in said halfwayhouse van.
Nothing sophisticated.
I work for myself, I don't really answer to anyone (no boss), and most of the people in the industry who know me more than in passing already know the basics of my past anyway.
I love writing, which explains the blog. Anyone who's attempted a blog can tell you that if you don't like writing and aren't extremely interested in your work, you can't keep writing about it.
What the fuck is a "super affiliate" anyway? Ask anyone successful at ppc, and they will tell you that all it takes is trial and error, dedication, and a little creativity. I have zero official marketing training, so I'm certainly no guru. I just work harder.
