I have to do that as well. Btw, my DOC was Meth and I have been doing great since getting off the devils drug. I appreciate your story/update...Don't let boredom get to you though make exciting plans and put yourself out there!
thanks everyone. i just browsed that meetup site i might have to check it out. im still having minor issues leaving and going out. i feel like ive been a different person the past 10 years, and now being sober im back to who i was before hand. life slows down tremendously, im not trying to do 30 things at once anymore. i couldnt even if i wanted to lol. im like a turtle now. so its weird trying to get my mindframe back to how i thought about everything as a normal person before pills and trying to remember what the average person does everyday. i have to keep thinking what did i do after i graduated highschool and how did i deal with life then. getting old sucks lol
