I just found a mistake in my comment, I quit illicit drugs in 2006, not 2016.
I won't lie @simpleeme, I would sure rather not have gone through this, not
Wasted over 40 yrs of my life intoxicated, much of which I don't remember, and
What I DO remember, I wish I didn't or I'm ashamed.
On the otherhand, it is all those experiences and trials I endured that have
Made me who and what I am today (again, there are aspects of my current being
I do not like). We have to take it all together and view the big picture, then
Move on.
I do get wordy don't I? 😎
