Same here! I remember you Knives, and am glad to see you back, even though I’m a little late to the party. Look forward to seeing you around.

So great to read your update! What classes are you taking? Conservation work sounds excellent, I know it is a competitive job market in the UK. Hope the job hunt is going OK and life is treating you well :heart_hands:

Ah! Sorry I’ve been gone! I finished off spring quarter with a 3.9 GPA. I took English 101, general psychology and American Indigenous studies (which was my favorite). This quarter I’m taking Spanish 1, abnormal psychology and survey of astronomy. I GOT ENGAGED! I get to go on to house arrest next month, and generally I am doing well. I had gotten a job at a candy store before I started school, which was good because it was downtown Seattle and it was beneficial for my recovery to reach out to addicts there. I feel like I really got to help a fellow alcoholic before one of my last shifts. I haven’t seen him on the street since and ny fingers are crossed he got the help I offered. For that reason alone, I really miss working downtown. I love the people and I love when I get to talk to someone. Yesterday was Seattle pride which was so amazing :’)
Here are some pictures as of late. Oh, and three years sober next month as well. :cherry_blossom::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
That last picture is of me in front of all our prison visit pictures on the fridge.
I wouldn’t be here without my recovery. If anyone is looking for a sign, THIS IS IT!

Happy to hear this Knives. It’s an exciting new chapter for you: a new place with new learning! You’re entering as Knives 2.0: more insight, more perspective and experience, more self-awareness, and a bigger pool of helpful contacts and friends. It’s a nice feeling I bet :innocent:

Happy for you friend :slightly_smiling_face:

When I said 4 I guess I meant three. Getting a little ahead of myself lol. It just seems like everything has gone by so fast. You guys were here the day after I got out of jail, the week right after everything happened. When I was a week sober. So grateful. So ready to move along with my life. I love you all. :black_heart:
