No, thank you my friend!
Nothing warms the heart like knowing I've connected with someone I've never met in a real tangible way.

You're dead right, drinking & drugging used to be counter-culture, now it very much is the culture.
As someone who's struggled with these things since my teens, it's very frustrating that it's the culture, as it can sometimes feel like ones imprisoned with no way to escape, and no one to escape with.
Truth be told, can be quite alienating.
Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read & sharing your most encouraging response.
Oh & to borrow from Irvine Welsh, well done on you choosing life.
Wish you the best!
