Yo. I'm addicted, depression, got a (shitty) sole proprietorship, a (new) union job, a misdemeanor, an a certain sense of frustration with the world as it is and with some of my personal past and present actions. I'm not self-sufficient yet, but will be with the change in income. In the current economy I am unable to do what personal passion is, and gave up the opportunity to do what would help the world most of all. I'm also struggling with the concept of faith (which is a big part the way I am familiar with of dealing with addiction), but I appreciate some of the values in various faiths and am trying to make some semblance of a spiritual authority prior to the Big Bang that I could deal with.
