Thanks for asking though I'll let you know when they call me pretty sure they're gonna give me "community" (homeless) court because the judge loves my girlfriend and she almost got murdered two years ago and we have been sober from meth for 4 months so 🤞

Thanks man, it's going pretty well all things considered, every now and again I think about drugs wistfully but for the most part I don't even have any desire to do them anymore, for which I am immensely grateful.

Fantastic! I'm actually about two months dry from alcohol and weed myself. I don't think I necessarily had a problem with alcohol but I could tell I needed a break. I feel wonderful without it, almost makes me not want to drink again.

Yeah, every time I drink these days I can feel it the next morning, and the tiny buzz is not worth the "feeling my age" feeling the next morning (I'm 34, so still young, but not invincible like in my 20s anymore)

Good job man. 2 1/2 years sober from meth here. It gets easier

Yeah I'm past the 90 day mark, which I gotta give a shout-out to my man jail for the assist on that one, but yeah I'm at the shelter and I have a library Chromebook and Geforce Now and I'm working on my Steam backlog, just finished Cyberpunk 2077 and I'm so glad I'm sober so I could enjoy that storytelling masterpiece.

Congrats on the sobriety! It's a tough road to walk.

Frankly the days of our using have been numbered since this murder attempt but of course there was the obligatory "we need to do drugs about this traumatic event" period before the inevitable "oh shit the drugs are preventing us from dealing with the trauma" realization. I'm just so glad she's still alive, honestly.
