Especially since the COVID epidemic, Bluelight has basically become my link to the outside world... and many people who are a lot like myself.
I used to work, date, play in bands, go to the gym, bars/clubs, the beach, hang out with my friends... heck, I even did a little modelling at one point. My drug and alcohol addiction put an end to some of that.
Still, I live in a very small town where everybody knows everybody's business. I would never think of going to an AA meeting because the entire community would find out within a day. Half of the people I know are related in some way!
I know that's it's over a computer, but when I'm sitting here talking to you all, it's like I'm sitting in a room full of my closest friends. I lurked for a while (along with Erowid) before that, so I feel as though I've known some of you for almost ten years!
God Bless You,
