I am at zero risk of losing my job. Worst case scenario, boss gets a little more unbearable but I can handle it. They’ll get bored of being an asshole after a while. I just told my wife everything and she’s proud of what I did and thinks that they were completely wrong to not announce her superiority. Complete asshole move on their part

After a year and a half of medical bullshit, my insurance is covering breast augmentation next month. I’ve been clean for the past year, and clear headed. I’m happy to be feeling good and liking myself after so many years of spiraling depression and addiction. I really missed posting here, and I’m looking forward to being a general dipshit around here more often.

I ❤️ you guys
