I am twnety seven married and I have the most adorable baby in the world. At least I think so. My life has had a lot of interesting things happen to me over the course of my time in this life. I attended a private christian school my entire life, and yet for some reason i just never fir in I was always treated like an outcast. after being expelled from this school I was thown into the shark tank (LIFE). Then i got a cold hard case of reality and it was to much for me, so I did what a lot of other depressed people do. I turned to drugs to try and dull the pain. A few years of that and I found out that all I was doing was making myself just more deppressed trying to chase a high, and began to sober up. After all or that was said and done I thought I might try something else. I always wanted a family of my own and I ended marrying the first person that said yes to me. And when it happened that the pain was still there, and to top it off I was in a bad realationship that was just causing more stress in my life then happiness.
And after that was over again i was back in the big rutt of depression and lonliness so i resorted to drinking thinking that that would be better then turning back to drugs again... What was I thinking. Finally after moving into Oregon where i had no outside influence from friends and family I was able to find myself. In part of that journey I found Wicca, now being from a very strong Christian backround I had a big problem with just jumping into becomming a witch and doing Magik. But through the Old Realigion I was able to find happiness, self-esteem about myself, and shortly after that I found the most important thing in the World. My Wife, she has helped me to fullfil many dreams that at one point in time I thought I was unable to have. There are still many things that I would love to learn about. And hopefully one day I will be able to teach the things that I have spent the last 5 years learning. I do not know but one day the answer will come to me, Patience is the key.
I would like to thank you all for taking the time to read this little bit on me, if there are any questions, advice, or just need someone to talk to I am here for you all.       BLESSED BE TO THEE.

What a blessing that you did not get locked into the other behaviors that take some people years to get over-I too left CA for WA state away from all family and friends and made drastic changes-for the positive in my life. I am so happy to hear your story, and that progress is being made by so many to fulfull their destinies, without the constraint of being locked into all the influences of modern society. Im using this in the broadest terms, as I have nothing against belief systems or societary parameters or family traditions etc. Thanks for sharing your story. Blessings to you and your family and continued learning experiences...........

Thx a lot for your story Steve

It is both a sad and  "happy" story.

Happy in the sense that you have found yourself and your soulmate and have started on a "new life" that I hope will give you much pleasure in the times that come.

I will always have a great respect for those who manage to "get rid of" drugs and other bad habits.
This show that you posess selfcontrol and will and that is what it takes to make a better life for you and yours.

I wish you all good in life and at the same time give you a thx for the willingness to help other people in need
