This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah, I lived like this for maybe thirty years, in between being a junkie. Gave up pretty much all my indulgences the past couple of years because I'm just too old for that shit and the health debt is coming due. I still smoke weed and take the occasional valium. My addictions saw me through a lot of rough patches, and being mostly sober is hard work - but booze and drugs is not a great way to deal with your problems.

Edit - closer to forty years actually. Oops.
