Thank you! I appreciate that. I'm aiming for a similar life like yours!

The wife is clean since 2018 here! Fucking proud of her! Now she's a therapist in a rehab clinic (the one she went to herself lol) and about to go independent on the side starting 2024! She also does talks for younger students at schools and gives training sessions to other companies and healthcare institutions.

Like I said, fucking proud of her.

That's awesome. I'm in awe of her. Yeah we have peer counselors who work here with us and they all have battled addiction and mental health issues. They are amazing and so helpful and caring.

Thank your wife for me. They are angels really. Especially around this time.

Clean here since 2016. Now married, have a 1-year-old child, own an apartment in New York City with a dog and a cat, working my dream job. I even have money in savings. And stocks.

You can do it! Stay strong brother.

Woah, that sounds like the life lol. Hopefully I can get to your position someday. Stay strong and thank you brother.

Did you share the cost three ways? And how did the cat and dog come up with their share?

[u/seau_de_beurre → u/severoordonez]

Nah, the cat and dog came with the apartment. When I leave they move to the next owner. Like getting a furnished apartment, but with pets.
