This is the result of a random google search at 2:30 AM. I honestly didn't think this place would still exist.
I see it's been about 4 years since the last post, and nearly 7 (!) since my last post. Time flies.
A bit about me since then-
My life has had a lot of ups and downs (mostly downs. I had a surgery in 2008, and as a result, I got addicted to painkillers. It was really bad, and probably should have killed me. Hell, there were times when I wanted it to. I ended up getting arrested for possession in 2011, and serving time from 2013-2014. I got clean before I went to jail, though, and have almost 3 years of recovery, so that's cool.
During that period in my life, I lost just about everything. My job (which had turned into a career), the girl I was engaged to, I got evicted, and my car repo'd. All my friends told me to fuck off, for the most part. I was pretty low. Suicidal, even. I've never mentioned that part to anyone before. It was bad.
Even after I got clean, I kept fucking up. I got sent to prison for, of all things, having a beer while I was on drug court. The stress of it got to me, and I made a dumbass mistake. I deserved everything that I got. While I was in the 'clink,' I decided I didn't want to be a fuckup anymore. I finally got my GED (without studying), took some self help classes that were offered, and decided that I want to help other addicts overcome their demons. I mended some relationships, some temporarily, some permanently, I hope. I grew up in there.
Once I got out, I was kind of lost. I knew what I wanted to do, but had to wait to do it. I didn't have a steady job (still don't. Being a felon blows), and not much else going on. It was a long, boring summer, but I managed. And in September, I finally, after a long fucking time, went back to school. I'm majoring in human services, and my ultimate goal is to be an addictions counselor. The classes are awesome, and I finally feel... happy. Or at least it's the happiest I've been since SG.
You guys were like my family. My weird-ass, all across the country and globe family (Especially CB. He's legit my oldest friend and I consider him a brother. <3 ) . And after all these years, I still think about you. I hope everyone is doing well, and kicking all kinds of ass IRL.
I don't know if anyone will read this, but if you do, hit me up. I'm on Facebook and shit. Technology, man.
I love you guys.
