Greetings, Stoners

Its going real well! Lifes actually lookin pretty good. I just moved into a new place and picked up a second job that I am actually really liking. Glad to see you are still kicking around for sure!

 

i'm gonna head downstairs again, but i'm gonna try to bring my laptop with me and see if i can leech off anyone's connection. hopefully i'll be back in a few minutes.

 

That's cool man. Congrats on the new place and the job. What kind of job is it?

 

hell yeah hah. even a lot of the noobs are cool though. it seems like i joined forever ago and its only been like 3 1/2 years.

 

Yeah I'm sure the noobs are cool, but it's just nice to have some familiar posters on here.

 

Welcome back :sifone:

 

Thanks E-Roc. How's it been?

 

its been really good of late.... gonna start anew tomorrow... thats the only thing i use NYE for.. to rekick myself in the ass... been smoking here and there again.. still havent bought cigs.. but i bum enough.. and my gf smokes.. so its tough.. but i gotta stop... before it gets out of hand again and im buying packs... gonna start a winter routine here with my Wii and EA Active.. to hope shed some of this weight that has been added on this winter so far.. its driving me nuts... still havent touched any pills since i went sober.. only opiate that has been in my system was codeine and that was from cough syrup when i had H1N1...

 

That's cool that you put down the opes. I know how hard it is not to smoke cigs when you're around people who are smoking. If I get into this rehab program, I won't be able to smoke cigs either, which is a good thing, I guess.

So you had H1N1, huh? How was it? lol

 

3 days.. nothing serious really.. the first day... i thought i was dying.. but after that.. i had colds that were worse

 

Nice to see you online Brian... I do hope things work out for you.

 

Thanks John. I hope life's treating you well

 

Life ain't bad here all things considered.

You may be going through some thick shit at the moment but trust me on this one... when you come out of it you stand a very good chance of being a far better person than had you not had to go through it at all. You just need a bit of faith in yourself and those closest to you.

 

Words of wisdom. I agree, whole-heartedly. Things will be alright, no matter what happens, so I just have to roll with the punches and take shit as it comes.

 

I turned a corner life when among other things I fully grasped the truth that sometimes the only thing I can hope to change is how I react to bad shit happening around me... to stop giving it the power to fuck up my frame of mind... after all it's all just information until I process it into something it wasn't. I also had to develop the habit of kicking my own ass in a way... become driven. Unfortunately it took me way too long to learn this- the earlier it happens the more good it does. At this point you'll have a 15 year head start over me on this.

Great advice already in this thread before I posted though....

 

Great advice, as always. The thing is though.....so much shit has happened over the past couple of years that I'm basically numb to it all. lol The bullshit doesn't get me down as much as it used to. It's like I said earlier...."it could be better, but it could also be worse". I'm glad things aren't worse than they are, but I'm gonna do my best to make things better for myself.

 

Wwelcome back man! Stinkfoot's advice is really good.

 

sholooooom in the home!

 

How's it going, Heather?

 

Glad to see you back, I went searching for your posts as soon as I saw you online.
