Agreed, I am lucky to have experienced it so far without anything devastating happening. Now it's up to me to create a colourful, interesting future for myself. I have three job leads presently, one is in the cannabis industry and across the country. It was totally random, they called apologizing for the delay and got talking about terpene science. It's in the rocky mountains too (I've worked near there in the past, at a resort on a beautiful lake in the mountains.
One came from walking into an engineering office and introducing myself. Another came from having trouble finding piercings I'd like to get at hot topic and getting into the technicalities of that, there is a lot to it. I love it. Feels like I'm engineering my ears with cartilage piercings, I have 5 cartilage and 2 lobe piercings. It's so much more fun than I thought it would be, my conch ones are still healing up nearly a year later.

I'm curious how my life will turn out. It could go either way, getting clean is one thing and making something of yourself is another. I was compulsively ripping bong in opiate withdrawal and after 9 months it is so nice to be able to smoke herb recreationally again without requiring it. I'll never quit, weed is my thing. I've had no problems waiting 12 hours between single hits lately, apart from deciding how to have fun when I get baked. It's a good sign, rid myself of a lot of pent up anger.
