In alot better place than I was a year ago, and want to pay it forward. Wish we could just tear this system down and rebuild it from the ground up to take care of people instead of our corporate overlords, but till that day I feel extremely blessed to be in a place to be able to help out like this. Even if i can only ease a few folks discomfort its better than wallowing in apathy and drinking everyday like i did for the past decade.
