You're welcome, only giving back what was freely given me! If just 1 person reads/seeks help I'd be grateful, seeing people on streets etc is hell, it just brings back a lot of horrible and disgusting memories of me being were they were once💓I only did 6mnths but seemed 6years. One of the worst parts of my life, some of the people I had to watch getting attacked etc was horrendous. But on a good note I'm 8 years sober thanks
