I left Adelaide almost 11 years ago to come back here. No real plan.
After fucking around on the street for about 2 months, I found a place to live in a share house with an alcoholic who did more for me than my own family.
I stayed there for a year. When I first rocked up I slept on a mattress on the floor wearing all my clothes because there was a gap between my wall and the world at large so it was quite cold.
This is the place.
It's renovated now. I haven't been back here since I moved out. I walked in gaunt, covered in track marks and walked out with an office job and a plan to study IT.
Time flies.
Family is not always blood.
So grateful that this place allowed your healing and planted the seeds for growth. You should be proud.
You've done well.
