Hi!

[ryradical]

NAME: Ryan

AGE: 30

INTERESTS & HOBBIES: I am a recovered addict so I'm trying new things and relearning everything. learning to live life. Trying to be functional and stress free. So far I enjoy anything outside. Rock Climbing, swimming, 4wheeling. I play the guitar, piano, and played the trumpet in school. I love animals, I don't have a dog right now but I enjoy spending time with my sisters dogs when I am in town. I enjoy food.... a lot...

LOOKING FOR: I enjoy all people so if your can tolerate me I will enjoy you! So basically just looking for anyone open minded, supportive, and possibly people that have "been there".

ANYTHING ELSE?: This is my first online journal ever. My sister recommended it to me over and over again because she used livejournal when she was going through a hard time and said she met some of the best people. I finally am taking her recommendation and starting this so bare with me!

Hi, Ryan. My name is Valerie. Please, call me Val, Moosette, or Valichou. I am 32 and I live in Canada. I used to do four-wheeling rides with my Mom and my former Stepdad. It was so much fun. I miss it a bit. Piano is such lovely instrument. One of my favorites. Animal rights is something I enjoy a lot. There is not enough justice for these fur balls which is a real shame. I am open-minded and very supportive. Welcome to Dreamwidth. I would love to be friends and read more about your story. I am talking about daily life, fandom stuff, occasional memes and health problems in mine. :)

Hey Val! Thanks for the welcome and we will surely be friends.

[ex_mooseygirl256]

Hi. I also play piano (sorta) and am a rock/punk/post-hardcore fan. I have a good friend in recovery and am working out how to be supportive.

[ryradical]

friends for sure. I need new music badly so any suggestions would be great.

I'm recovering from addiction as well and my journal is fairly new. Can I add you?

[ryradical]

Of course you can add me :)

That's way cool that you can dance. Dance is a great skill to have! The ukulele is such a unique instrument. I picked it up briefly but mostly just messed around with it. I want to work on getting skilled with the banjo next.

Thankou for the comment and I will add you!

Congrats on your recovery! Very brave & admirable! My dad died an alcoholic; he never quite got there.

I usually write about my family [husband, 3 nearly/adult children]. I also try to post near daily 'positives'. Add?

[ryradical]

Thank you! I'm sorry about your dad. ALcohol is so hard to stop as its on every corner and more accepted in out society than anything else. Its a hard one for sure.

I would love to hear about you and your family. adding :)
