so I'm new here

[goaskalex]

So I'm terrible at introductions but hi, I guess. I'm a nineteen-year-old trans man living in Orlando. I go by Alex online. I've been lowkey messing around with drugs on and off since my eighteenth birthday, but I ended up homeless back in June of last year when my family and I cut ties, and it was around then that I relatively quickly went from popping pills to coke to heroin and meth. I'm a washed-up writer and author, I like 90s punk and hip hop, and if I ever get my shit together and get my GED then I'd like to go to college for ASL interpretation.

It's nice to be here. I just wish I'd found out about this forum sooner; it would seem that I'm extremely ill-informed because I've been looking for a community like this for ages.

Hi @goaskalex.

I know what homelessness is like, too. It was when I was homeless that I first tried meth and heroin - meth now being my DOC. Do you have any desire to stop using? No judgement here. BL has plenty of resources for both active users and people in recovery.

I hope you can get what you need out of BL. And welcome to Bluelight!

Hey Alex, welcome aboard What kind of things do you like to write about?

Im reaching out to you because I too was homeless and I too do not see myself quitting anytime soon. I hope you're able to find some peace of mind Alex! In the mean time, fuck it lets get fucked up

Homeless from beginning about 2 years since I originally joined to, except for a year and a half, ten years until my last time in prison. That started @ age 25 and am 37 now. A member all that time.

Welcome, hope that you learn as much as I have in the time you spend here. My tenure here is teenaged! If it's that much a pull for your attention span then add it to your addictions and be happy it can't land you a penitentiary term (unless something really off kilter starts going on)
