I've been home from school since the 20th of December, which is longer than i'd been home the rest of 2005
combined.
I've found a girlfriend that matches my tastes, gets along with my dad, my mom
and my stepdad wonderfully, takes great care of me, and is coming back from Lafyette in less than a week to see me
I've found the strength of character to drastically reduce the amount of alcohol I consume, relying rather on nicotine and sleep to keep me sane and tolerable.
and the best thing that's happened:
I've found my way back to TFP in a far better mind than I left 8 months ago, able to contribute positively and enjoy myself in the company of so many kindred spirits.
