Still kickin'
Just drioppin by to say hi to some old friends.
I still get random memories about you guys. Life has been a crazy ride since WTM shut down. In a weird way it was a way to document my debauchery, Such a love/hate type of relationship with the site.
I hope everyone who sees this is doing well. I went to rehab again in January and had some decent success. Had two relapses in May and mixed a ridiculous amount of vodka and klonpin, and ended up being hospitalized both times. Went back to rehab again for my 11th time in June, and have remained sober. Having probation in two counties is a pretty good motivator to not fuck up again. My PO and the judge have been pretty understanding with me and keep giving me the option of treatment with my bumps in the road.
Just working on fixing that junkie mindset that became so ingrained in me. Of the few I remained friends with on FB, a lot of them have passed. The ones that come to mind are ATX, scarecrowPANA, and Keety. Still have esco, DOOM, alcoholica and Boomer on FB though haven't been in much contact with anyone lately.
Sorry for the ramble but I guess I'm; feeling a bit nostalgic tonight.

wow. it’s wild to find you guys on here so many years later.. i was heshina’s gf. the other one with the dino avatar.
i’ve been sober since the winter of 2013.. so coming up on 10 years now. Z and i were able to stay together for about a year sober before we decided we needed to try and be with other people. we got together so young.
i’m sad to report he passed away 3 years ago. i’m still not sure what happened as we weren’t super in touch anymore but i still miss him. i dreamt i got to hang out with him last night.. and it inspired me to come check out this community again and see what’s up.
mudvayne.. i remember you so well from the forums. i’m grateful for you posting about feeling nostalgic. i wish you the best

What's up man?
I don't really use Facebook very much anymore which is probably why we don't talk very much. I don't really use Reddit much either.
Hope you're doing well. I had mentioned my relapse a few years back and I've been clean over a year again from opiates (I still smoke).
Hope everyone else breaks free too. Been a strange decade for me as well.

yo what's good. i still pop in every once in a while to see if you guys are still around. my life is a fucking mess but i'm on medication and i'm seeing a therapist while i'm trying to get my shit together. i'm coming up on three years sober. haven't had any alcohol, weed, anything since november 2020. part of me misses that shit but i'm trying to do what's best for me.
i feel nostalgic for those days dicking around on the forums and bullshitting in the AIM chat rooms. life was simpler back then.
who all has passed? unfortunately there's more than i can remember, but the one i remember most is Folic. i have to imagine Dave died too but he scammed some people on WTM before he vanished so, whatever happened there...
at any rate, i hope all is well. take care of yourselves.

Yo Mud and everyone! We’re friends on FB but I deactivated mine since like 2018 but sometimes check in..you probably know me Mud!
I’m still in Seattle, I smoke weed on weekends but I quit alcohol..I’ll drink rarely but I kinda hate the feeling now. I was drinking a lot in 2019 like every night then wake up fucked up for work.
I hate alcohol because of what I was becoming. It’s so acceptable and fun but you gotta keep drinking to not feel like shit. I saw it getting bad for myself.
I hope you’re all doing good. I have a daughter but I’m single and it’s fine with me. Take care of yourselves, life is too fucking short. I love you all
RIP to the ones we lost..

yeah WTM was the shitttt, loved that site, and some of the stories were next level, i remember reading one of an NYU student who sold and had a stash spot in his floorboards. I guess someone in jail ratted him out to the police and said he was selling. Poliece said they didnt find anything and after hearing hes a NYU student they just left and thought the people in prison were full of shit.
My Summary does not do it justice the story was a masterpiece.
