I had to go away for a few years. I had some really horrific drug issues. I'm 2 years plus clean now and wanted to drop in to say hi.
Many of you were very kind in the time just before I left. One of you were not. I won't name names, but you know who you are - please leave me alone, I don't need to hear your bloviating mockery in the name of making yourself feel better.
Otherwise, hey, y'all, I'm back.

Please post more info aka your story - I'm curious where away was and what drugs were you using. BTW, I'm 21 or 22 years clean & sober myself, if I can do it so can you. I always say once you get to the first year and a half mark you are definitely on your way. Good job!

DC, GM, Clem, Ppl, Jules, Rocket- thanks for the talks way back when. If you're new to the board, those are the folks to pay attention to.

Okay, good to see you're alive.
(there've been many times I wondered what ever happened to you. Like: Wonder if he died?)
Regardless, we had some "discussions", didn't we?
Glad you're alive and kicking.

Glad you're alive and kicking. We did have some "discussions". I got out of line a lot in them. I apologize for that. I'm gonna ease in with a toe before I dig back into that mud.

Nice to see you back bro.

Otherwise, hey, y'all, I'm back. Not just a simple "good", but "GREAT" for you man.  Being 2 years plus clean is terrific. Just terrific. But i'm sure you know that tommorow is another day. I don't post much cause everyone knows more than me and is smarter than me. However, I always enjoyed your posts. There are a few that whenever I read their posts I think, "sure would like to meet this/that person". You were/are one of them. Again, congrats.

I watch Valerie Bertinelli's cooking show on Food Channel while on the treadmill. She's still attractive, smart, funny, and she's an awesome cook.

Otherwise, hey, y'all, I'm back. Yes, I had just gotten here and ran smack into a Crackhead. It was rough. I am glad you survived. That is what life is all about, new beginnings.

I hope I wasn't the one poster who wasn't nice! Maybe it is age, but I don't remember your user name... I'm bad with names sometimes.
Anyway, congrats on turning your life around...., don't slip.... stay focused and strong.
