So here's the thing. I never fit in anywhere in life. Growing up was a seriously daunting task for me. Circumstances and situations took place that molded me into a lost and displaced soul for the longest time. I was programmed and trained to be scared, timid, fearful and submissive to the wants and needs of others. Subsequently i turned to drugs and alcohol to attempt an escape. I tried several times, each a bigger dumpster fire than the last. Eventually i came fully unraveled and was forced to face my own reality. I was never going to get better unless i changed EVERYTHING. I touched the very fires of Hell and it hit me like a ton of bricks! It was me all along. I, me, this guy here, was the problem. So i started a path to recovery and began to find my true self once and for all. I have about 16 months of sobriety and I work at a consumer product distribution center that supplies businesses big and small. Despite the world going completely batshit the moment i actually start to have my own shit together... I have yet to face anything or anyone able to overpower me back down to that alcoholic hell i fought so hard to escape. If you read this far i thank you. My goal here is to contribute and become a part of something to be proud of. Another positive outlet for me to utilize my talents in writing and take on new ones such as art and science perhaps?

Good afternoon
