Just hit 25

got back from hooters w/my boy chica couldnt come but she got mebest gifts ever .

First year in 7 that I have not been on drugs (specifically opiates , oc80s , roxi30s , dope , methadone ) - it's the most freeing experience of my life. Worth hundreds of dope sick days - kicking methadone took me 7 1/2 weeks with withdrawals worse than heroin, easily.

Now im here enjoying ever breathe of air I have fellas - best of luck to you all - I'm still young yeah - but never take life for granted!

these damn dog days and 25 page research psych papers will be gladly kicked also brother !! Haha , nah for real I am very lucky - I've managed to OD .. ugh more times I'd prefer mentioned, flatlining didn't stop me - I manned up, got a specialist for PTSD - and frankly I chose that I was not going to let my life run me, it was time to man up.

Never been happier- no matter how hard things can get I will never back down and become a slave to fucking anything. I am very proud of where I am, and I am not one to say that - it just feels damn good to know where I have been and now how the hell I am here... well it's choices - we all have them - everyday you chose to do right or wrong - everyday man I'm fucking goin nuts sometimes, that's why I spend time w/my NA sponsor (honestly not my thing, but it's a safety net).

No1 said it was gonna be easy - but I'm glad it wasn't , fuck it I love knowing I made it thru the shit that dropped off as a kid, and continued to manifest around my disease as I grew older. Ready for whatever man, well not deca dick, but yea, bring that other shit on !!!
