I'm a Recovering Alcoholic/Drug Addict since 13 and a 6th grade drop out not knowing about Add at the time as it was 25 years ago so school was not my thing! I moved out of my parents house at 14. I was married at 24 and at 25 had my first child. I have 2 boys now 15 and 20. I love close very close friends. I need to be myself able to talk about my feelings and and with uncoundional love, trust. I need friends that treat me with the mutual respect that i treat them with as i think i make a great friend a close friend that can last for a life time. that excepets me for me and vice versa. i'm not just a fly by night friend! i'm very loyal when giving a chance back and i have a saying somewhere in here im not the one that will stab you in the back but i have been stabed in the back many times so i'm very careful how i pick my friends.
