I'm of the opinion things should be handled openly so here's my response to the bevy of negreps I've received.
First, someone said "I'll never have money" that's rather amusing and so clueless.
I never attempted to garner sympathy from anyone. All of my issues could have been avoided if I made better decisions when I was younger, things snowballed and I ended up a mess. Addiction is a horrible fucking disease (and it is a disease). I've handled it like a man, admitted I have a problem, went to rehab and despite some recent setbacks I'm back on track. When things weren't working I made huge sacrifices (time, money, freedom) to get my life together.
I understand there's a certain level of jealousy towards me from people who knew me at Wake; I have a lot of things in my life I don't deserve. Things come easy to me that others have to work extremely hard for. I tend to avoid consequences of my bad actions plus I can be a total asshole. However, I wake up feeling horrible about the awful shit I've pulled. So before you guys bash me, understand that I realize I'm a fuck up and act like a goon on here all too often (though most of it is tongue in cheek). However, anonymously attacking me reflects more on you than on me.
So whoever feels the need to attack me in private can do so here. I'm sorry if I fucked your girlfriend at Wake, I can assure you she meant nothing to me. Be a man, I've been nothing but open here.
If anyone ever admitted having a substance abuse problem here the first thing I'd do is posrep him and give props for admitting something very difficult. I hope no one here ever has to go through what I went through/put myself through. I also hope that if anyone has a substance abuse problem here he'll reach out for help, I've been through the system and know it all too well.
Commence neg repping.
