Hi guys, remember me? Long time no see :P
So it's been quite a while since I last posted in here. I'm sure many will remember me, some may not. When I last stopped posting here I was in a bad way emotionally as some may remember. At that time I was in a very dark place. I was out of a job or school, living at home off my parents drinking relatively heavily weekly and getting lower and lower. As I posted previously on here I've struggled with emotional issues most of my life off and on at different periods and it's ruined much of it. My parents did not help by greatly enabling me well past adulthood, though they did so out of love and concern. I went through some pretty dark places.
At any rate fast forward to today and things are going pretty good, knock on wood. I've moved out of my parents house into an apartment. My parents are still helping me but I gain more independence by day. I'm working a part time job right now. I've lost over 100lbs since my max about a year and 1/2 ago and am looking good and feel fantastic, in the best shape of my life, lost a bit too much I must say though. I've made the first true group of friends I've perhaps ever had as well. I work weekly to push my comfort zones to do new things, try to get out and socialize with them even when my social anxiety has every nerve in my body telling me not to. I have a LOT of progress left to make but I've come a very long way since those dark days only 8 or 9 months ago!
I've also discovered the benefits of marijuana It's completely replaced my drinking and I have no real interest in drinking at all any more. I now use a vaporizer a couple of times a week and find that it has helped me emotionally immensely. It's mellowed me out which is exactly what my high strung anxious personality type needs and has allowed me to see the bigger picture more of the time, allowed me not to sweat the small stuff more and more. Along with my new found independence and steadily improving sense of confidence it has allowed me to truly enjoy life in a relaxed and deep sense that I have never had the pleasure of before (I can feel it in my bones so to speak).
As I mentioned above there is a LONG ways to go and a lot I need to improve upon and fix. Many more anxiety inducing hurdles I have to clear before all is said and done. I have no doubt that there will be further set backs. I fear it is all a house of cards that will come crashing down at any moment. But for once in my life I'm truly content for longish stretches of time. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for once.
This post doesn't necessarily mark my return to these forums. I'm undecided on that as of yet. I just wished to drop everyone a line and update those who may have been wondering what ever happened to me

2. My dear Locut0s!
Yes, I remember you........
I am glad to see you here once again, even if only temporarily.
I understand at least a little about social anxieties and you're doing well by combating them. Hell, I'm 71 and I still fight them sometimes! Some things just have to be gotten through and doing works well.
Keep on keeping on!
Welcome back...

I've known a number of stoners. None of them were able to accomplish anything until they went to rehab and got off the drugs.
Locutos just ruined his life. Too bad he has parents who enable him.

Don't you allow the possibility that Loconuts purpose in life is to entertain us? Sometimes it's just that simple.

Given his previous upbringing, a certainty.

We had a machinist at our shop who could only work stoned. He was so hyper when he wasn't stoned that he couldn't stand still for two seconds.
He would smoke before work, at break, lunch and the afternoon break every single day. The boss knew about it, but his work was good and he always showed up on time. He lasted until the company implemented random drug testing and quit before he ever got tested.

Isn't he's that gay, fat, stupid, 30-something college dropout from Canada who lived in his parent's basement (when his parents weren't packing him to Hawaii)?
I thought he'd died already. :rotf:

Seen this at several shops that I worked at. Back then most shops only had a pre employment wiz quiz, if they had one at all. The places with the government contracts were more strict.
I knew old timers that would have booze in a coffee thermos and would sip on that all day, it looked like they were drinking coffee between assembling tractor cabs.

100 pound weight loss is pretty good. That won't last if he gets the munchies from the weed.

I will eat my shirt if that fool actually lost 100 pounds.
