Love and Marriage
« on: Monday, September 02, 2013, 10:27:17 PM »
So as some of you remember, I used to be a bit of a cunt. I took some time off from the internet because I was just fighting all the time, lots of anger. I burned a lot of bridges and lost a lot of friends, and I still feel bad about that.

In 2010/2011 I decided I didn't like who I was, went to counselling, sorted my shit out, stopped using drugs and turned my life around. In August of 2012 I married my long-term girlfriend, and just had a kid on July 7th. I'm lucky she stuck with me through everything, and it really proved she was the woman for me.

A lot has happened in the last two years! I'm a lot more mellow now. I take lots of time to stay relaxed and grounded, exercise more regularly and started brewing mead. Generally I made the rule that I don't drink anything I didn't brew myself, but I do make exceptions for the occasional finger of whiskey because damn it's delicious.

My life lately has been a lot of caring for a newborn and working my butt off to save for a house. I'm training for a new job and will hopefully get one next year.

Things are good! It's also good to be back posting again, I didn't realize how much I missed you goons until I dropped back in.

Drugs was the way to go.

I know you're joking, but still... I tend to have, well, problems with moderation. Drugs are damn fun and I'm glad I got it all out of my system earlier. It did take quite a toll, and I'm happy I came out of the other end alive and with my most important relationship intact.

I'm happy for you, man.  Glad things turned out so well.  A good relationship helps so much, and the loss of one can point that out, painfully.  Marriage, family, great stuff when it's done right.  Congrats!

Yeah man. Congrats.

Looks like the whole crew is moving onto a lot of new things recently. It's getting to be like a high school reunion without the gaps in between.

Yes, I was joking. I am glad you made it out OK. :)

Nice going Ace ;)

Glad to hear you sorted things out for yourself, I've been sort of doing the same recently.
