I think he was worried about the screen time considering his specific addiction

I heard he’s doing well. He’s no longer in TS. 
Oh no! I loved Geoff! I found his support very helpful, lovely fella 
Glad to hear he’s doing ok though. I don’t know if I’m supposed to ask this but…will he be back? Or has he gone for ever? Thanks for answering me @Lisa07 and @Dragonflygirl82

Hello @EarnIt and @SinceIAwoke
I’m okay, thankyou for asking. I mean, I assume I’m okay. This year has been what I am going to call my year of denial over a lot of things and relapsing and suppressing that and not properly handling the root of my relapse.
I got to a point a week ago where I knew I had to get sober again. I’ve been doing a lot of searching for moral and ethical guidance, I started reading the Torah (which I still read every day) and I listen to Jordan Peterson extensively and its helping. Weirdly enough, I started reading the Torah about 5 months ago and I was reading it like a story book but then I figured it was more of a guidebook on ‘How not to live’. I haven’t had a drink in 7 days. I wont say that through reading the Torah I found a higher power. But, to quote my current hero Dr Peterson, ‘It wasn’t that I discovered God but I most certainly met Satan. Satan is me and it is terrifying how terrible we are capable of being.’
I never ever want to meet Satan again. I don’t ever want to hurt someone I love again.

@Blondie1x - Just done it for you. 
@SassyRocks - Hi Liz Thankyou and nice to see you too. Yeah, not gonna lie, the last year, its not that I wanted to live an unhealthy and unbalanced life, its that I wanted to be dead. A few days of sobriety under my belt has basically made me stop and think “Okay… Get the hell over yourself and stop being such an asshole and sort your fucking life out.” I had a huge argument with my mother and step father and ended up packing up my shit and leaving. I got myself a beautiful apartment (Far too big for just me!) with a 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms - One of the bedrooms, i’ve turned into a studio and the neighbour’s don’t completely suck. Its got a beautiful view of the River Ouze outside and its quiet and peaceful. I haven’t spoken to my parents since September but to be honest, we could use a good break from eachother.
@EarnIt -Thankyou for thinking of me, its much appreciated.
