Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I'm doing pretty good right now, despite the state of the world and my country (U.S.). I have a house I bought with my wife like 5 months before COVID happened, so really lucky with that timing because the interest rate is still pretty good. We have a little girl in preschool, she's awesome and a total sweetheart.

I still struggle with depression though. I spent the better part of a decade getting blackout drunk every night before I met the woman that would become my wife. She helped me care enough about myself to quit and I am almost 2 years sober now. But I lost pretty much all of my friends because of the drinking so I'm trying to figure out some hobbies to get into and try making new ones, but it's scary.

So yeah, that's where I'm at more or less.
