For the older posters here, you know the drill. No struggle sessions, keep it nice.

For the newer folks, hi! I'm Corgi! I made these threads from time to time to see if everyone is doing OK. Got something cool you wanna talk about? Need an ear for venting? This is your space! Just be nice, this isn't the thread for arguments.

I made a down payment for next year's wedding recently, and I've been having a BLAST with the Retroid 3+. I've been going to the bar with the pup the last few days and just sitting with a pint and playing MVC2, Twisted Metal Black, Smash, and Mario. Met another Hexbear IRL recently, that was nice!

Hope everyone is doing well! Remember, you are loved stalin-heart

    I'm having a bad time!

    I'm single for the first time in my adult life after 8 years with the same person, so I'm using this time to try and vetter myself and get control over my vices now that I've got the freedom to introspect at my pace.

    I've mostly quit smoking weed, and significantly cut back on cigarettes, and I've increased my drinking now that I've realized that I don't actually have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol and was just afraid of it because of my parents being alcoholics.

    I'm in a new city with no friends, no family, and no support system, so it's been really rough, but I'm determined to come out of this shit clean on the other side.

    Thank you for asking, I've been looking for a place to vent a little

      please don't drink too much, alcoholism is a progressive disease and the more you drink and the longer you drink a lot the more likely you are to realize three years from now that you have a huge problem. believe me i know.

        I never drink more than one drink in a night, and never when I'm in a bad mood. Generally I only drink with friends, but sometimes I'll crack open a beer when I'm gaming. It's a rarity. That I've slightly increased it, should probably alarm me though, especially given my current situation.

        Your concern is both noted and appreciated, genuinely.
