Well today was tough. I spent all afternoon in a courthouse listening to victim statements for my best friend and his family who were killed. The driver got 10 years. They always say that a sentence is supposed to bring some sort of closure, but I think that's BS. It doesn't really feel any different, not today at least.

There are people who somehow do not see the "I can't believe this place is still open! haha!" comment as insulting. IS it though? Whenever I worked at a dump, I knew I was working at a dump, and so did everyone else. As long as the paychecks kept coming, no one complained. BUT, I guess I see your point-of-view. What IF the place isn't a dump? What if it's just a place that doesn't have mainstream appeal. In that case, yeah, I can see it being an insult.

Can't imagine how you must feel. Your CS brothers and sisters are here if you need us.

I can't even begin to imagine what that must feel like and what you must be going through, but from the bottom of my heart, I hope you find a way to make it through. We're all here for you.

So sorry you all had to go through that, man. My cousin's killers got a slap on the wrists too for drag racing that day. It's been probably 30 Years ago now, but I still see the sadness in my aunt's eyes, and I think of the injustice every time I see a light sentence for such senseless stupidity resulting in the loss of such lives with so much unfulfilled promise.

I like to think that I'm a pretty private person, my Wife is the only person that I share personal things with. I've been posting on this site now for almost a year and a half and visiting it a whole lot longer than that. It might sound bad but after my Wife and Son I read and talk to y'all the most.
With that being said I would like to share something, not getting to much into the details but as of now I'm currently 6 days sober. I know it's not a lot, hell it's not even a week but it has felt like an eternity. I guess I'm posting this because I actually like you people and if anyone here ever has to go through anything similar you're more than welcome to pm me to talk about it. It's bad enough to have to go through and even worse go through it alone.

I can't say that I've ever gone through anything similar myself but addiction (alcohol mainly) runs deep and wide in my family and the influence it has had on those people has had an impact on me. But I do know that being sober for any amount of time is a victory and something that I know you're probably struggling with. Keep it up, great things will happen.

Thank you, alcoholism/addiction runs rampant in my family as well. I had my fun days when I was younger but thankfully that never became a serious problem for me. And you're right I am struggling with it, but this is the longest I have ever been and I'm determined to see this through.
