sober half the year, no drugs, weed, booze, nothing. Then suddenly... moderate user of booze/weed, no other drugs (current)
Financially, epic things happen: realizes he can go anywhere in the country he wants. pretty much free of charge for the next decade.
current: Everything has turned out much better then I expected.
2011, just trying to get basic shit right in my head, body and soul now. Thinking positive for a change. (shits scary)
I turned 21 somewhere in there, but srsly. wasn't thinking about my age at all during the early part of the year.
