I am 34 years old and live on the East Coast of the United States. Speaking of coast, I love the water, the beach, the beauty, the marine life, fishing with my dad and grandpa was a big part of my childhood, along with a few other sports. Dolphins are my favorite animal. I enjoy reading, mostly RomCom, thriller, adventure and romance books. A well written self help and biography will get my attention occasionally. I also enjoy writing but wouldn’t say I am any good at it. I usually stick to journaling. Movies and tv mostly fictional comedy, romantic, medical, action, thriller. Big fan of sports, and concerts.
Another huge part of my life is that I’m a recovering addict. I am nearly 8 months clean. This is the longest stint of sobriety I have ever had and I’m absolutely confident that unless something drastically changes it will be permanent. This is a disease/challenge I have been battling for years, along with mental health. But fortunately I’ve found the right tools and have begun utilizing them and believing in myself.
I enjoy being active and working out, which was something I lost track of doing during the last ten years of my active addiction.
I enjoy intelligence, educated conversation, just as much as I enjoy goofing off and acting like children. I have my BS in Criminal Justice with a minor in forensic science, but due to a dui conviction can no longer pursue a career in that line of work. I started my masters in substance abuse counseling but never finished it. I am working on pursuing a career in peer support services and should have the requirements completed in the next couple months!
Sorry, I know this was long. Some days I can talk all day, others I shut down and keep to myself! It’s nothing personal, just apart of chronic depression!
