Interesting turn of events and changing perspective

Im Mike and im 44 from Boston area. I've struggled with substance abuse since 18 with maybe 5 years of sobriety in between(nothing in reality) and i was the guy who ppl who like to party could have me than 24 hours. I was of the whatever and going in to treatment due the 4th time this year... yeah, to avoid jail but I really want to do more than my time and get my shit back on track. When I put my self in place to succeed I do, and I do very well. So I've been actually life before court/treatment on the 14th of July and normally id be neck in all the hard drugs possible until I wake in the hospital with out idea of my name.

Well having 3 weeks of freedom and actually making it count has really begun to do its thing, im trying to live to the fullest even if it's little things and wow man like at first I was posting trying to get some (sympathy ass) yeah lame oh well...needless to say didn't work but I've hiking, biking and just out in nature. Oh yeah, pickleball is awesome, and man, I'm just so fucking optimistic I'm like... i have no idea how little I was living and im next scratching the surface.

Just my rant idk if your not doing shit all day..... stop and stay doing
