Hey bud. Head up. Proud of you. Keep moving forward. The past is the past but the journey to where you are now you can always look back and appreciate.

Thanks man. It was a humbling experience and I'm a better man for it. I know in my heart that once I stopped damaging myself, I did everything in a way to not abuse the system and get back on my own two feet. I understand that most people don't have a problem with that and I paid taxes for 22 years before that and 3 years since, since I only have so much shame about the experience. I also saw firsthand the rampant abuse and heard the stories about the way people used all that to their advantage and talked about being on EBT for 2 years and always on Medicaid and all that stuff. I felt dirty, no way I could do that any longer than I absolutely had too.

THanks for the encouragement!
