i used to come here years ago but was heavy on the drink/drugs and stupidly kept getting myself banned for off the wall behavior.

it's been a few years since i've been here as my behavior escalated to landing myself in jail until feb this year. i was sleeping rough when i came out and could have easily went back to my old life but, thanks to a fantastic therapist inside, i've stayed determined to fight and build the best life i've ever had.

it's not easy, almost every night i fight the urge to have something but ... hell, no, not going there again.

the hardest part is trying to build bridges. nobody wants to know but i can't blame them.

anyhow, i'm lucky DocJohn has allowed me back as this is the only place i can get/give support atm.

Love and Hugs to all
