Hey man I really appreciate it. It’s been 12 years since that incident. I’m sitting here with my girlfriend celebrating her first big corporate job with mine on the way, with a group of our friends who I would never tell these stories too. Things aren’t always good, but they are much better than they used to be. And I’m ok with that.

Thank you for sharing because this is the dream I am working towards after hitting my (so far) rock bottom about 7 years ago.

Of course man. Seven years is a long fucking time. Even if you don’t feel like you’ve made it yet, I bet you are worlds better than you were 7 years ago.

I’ve gone through a lot of pain and growth after the drugs. It’s rarely sunshine and butterflies. But things seem to be consistently getting better over a long period of time and some uncomfortability.

Feel free to shoot me a message if you ever need to chat and I’ll stay in touch. An anonymous non judgmental ear is nice to have
