Comf,
I read every word of your story, it was obvious that you realized the signifigant milestone this (ordinary) purchase represented. Thanks for revealing yourself so much.
I feel I have gained a whole new perspective on Comf. Your a brave man, with alot of heart Comf. 'Picking yourself up by the boot straps' is hardly the expression here. Not to mention that through this stressful even, you apparently avoided your ole love-alcohol!
You deserve this new found feeling of acceptance. As a proud home owner/tax paying member of the community, felony or not, look anybody in the eye with no reservations.
YOu have dumped the Tower and all it's resident guilt. You have overcome one of the hardest addictions known. You have come to terms with your past.
What more could a guy ask for? An attractive bed mate....which appears you also have secured!
Whats next?
Iam proud to know you Comf.
Danny
