So it begins

I've experienced so much in the course of my 30 years on this Earth. When I look back it feels as if I have lived two separate lives... I've been through countless periods of self-destruction and a couple of times it nearly worked. This, however, is my first sincere quest for self-awareness. In the past 5 years, I've managed to rid myself of many bad habits and take on many good ones. I hope that you find my journey as interesting and amusing as I have.
