Hello browsers of introductions!

I've been finding helpful posts here for the last few years, I frequently find quality information and helpful discussion here. On top of that, I haven't really seen anyone being anything other than good to each other on here; I want in on the good vibes I see here.

I've actually read through threads on here with enough regularity that I think of members here an "My people."

The last few months I've been reading stuff here because I recently lost my housing situation. It's a combination of wanderlust, addiction that's got me sleepin in my car (99% the second thing.)

I've recently got off the H, methadones what's really helped me with that. I'm like a week clean now and that's the longest I've been sober in... well longer than I can remember really. I only got started with the stuff about 2 years ago, things went off the rails, and well here I am. Part of the clinic (for me rn) is like therapy or counsoling or whatever. I had always suspected I needed that, but never took the initiative. I didn't actually realize just how badly I needed that.

I did some panhandling for the first time on Monday, thanks to the sick advice found here I made enough money for cigs, food, and gas. I didn't expect just how good panhandling was gonna make me feel either, so thanks for that too. Before that Monday, my primary source of income was a mix of boosting, and giving people rides to pick up (which suprisingly wasn't helpng me get clean.)

Anyway, I'm pretty befuddled by the sleeping pills I took earlier so I'm gonna call it a night after I post this.


OHH, there was something else too!

Working on my signiture, anytime I try to put a link in I get bitchslapped by the auto-mod/spam filter. What I'm trying to do is use a quote from a book, and then have words that relate to other interesting quotes or something. I guess I'm trying to add a bit of depth or something, not really 100% on what I'm trying to acomplish there. Here's the example:

Sig sig sig, nice phrase or something (Linked to, something else).

For the link, I tried creating a google doc and making the link public. Posting what I want written to a blog, shit IDK anymore just realized the time and gotta sleep!

Love you all.
 
Wow - awesome intro and welcome to STP! We are quite a wide and diverse group - who are good with each other. Ask a question and you'll get answers on where to find it - after of course you have researched it here. :)

Anyway - hey congrats on being free of. I have several friends I keep in touch with who count the days, the months and the YEARS they are clean. Recovery!! And welcome again!
