    Thumbs up I would like to share my most defining acheivement.

    3 Years 3 months 12 days is how long it's been since I moved in with my brother got back on my feet got a good job making 40,000 + a year and an apartment that's only 600 a month,I was paying 810 for a shit box which was killing my funds.Now,I had lost everything 2004 December and really shit on a lot of people and my bro was the only one who gave me a shot to redeem myself.What did I lose my buissness,the respect of my friends and family and most of all the respect for my self,all of which I've earned back in spades over the past 3 years 3 months and 12 days.I just got the call today saying I was approved for this apartment that's bigger then my current apartment and is $210.00 cheaper with gas and heat paid for, how valuable is that let's see.I bring home an average of $1600 a month after child support and taxes which means my first check"I get paid by weekly"Isn't even mine not one fukin penny.Now with only $600.00 a month rent all my bills are paid including car insurance and fuel and utility's for the month,except of course food,with one check.I also work a second job from May to October which provides an additional $600.00 a month after taxes.So let's re cap During the spring and summer months my second job will pay my rent and my primary job will be my savings less food and gas and insurance which is already paid for the next 6 months.So what does this mean?It means that I'm the happyiest I've ever been in my entire life.And I couldn't of did it without my brother Gabe.

    "In life we are defined by our peers by the obstacles we overcome and I will never fall again"

    This was a thread I started when I first joined the site about my death and reserection.
    A little bit about me

    glad to hear you straightened your life out and stuck with it. i know alot of good buddies who have strayed down destructive paths and will probably live out the rest of thier days with both feet in the gutter. hitting rock bottom is easy when your spiraling towards it crawling out of it and becoming who you want to be isint. props to you for changing your life, and props to your brother for stickin beside you when no one else gave you a shot...thats awesome man.
    i miss my brother now.

    That's good to hear you overcame bro.

    It's our struggles that define us & the hardships we endure.

    Keep your head up bro.

    Nice to hear. i know people say money doesn't buy happiness and i agree with that to a point. you have to have enough to live and then you can concentrate on being truly happy. glad to hear you got over that speed bump in your life, now its time to shine.
