How Is Everyone Doing?
DetroitMuscle here (who in their right mind would lie and assume my identity!)
Been almost 3, going on 4 years since I left Cambodia. Haven't posted since i left. Stayed in touch via Facebook with a few of you.
I assume most don't give a shit considering my alcohol/anger filled time spent in country. But for anyone that does, I'm just checking in and saying hello. Haven't really lurked either forum too much besides for news stories. Crazy to read about Shitsville.
I actually returned home and got help for my drinking. Been sober since June 18th of 2017. Come to find out l I thought I had a drinking problem that brought out misplaced anger. Turns out I had an anger problem that led to drinking! So I checked myself into anger management therapy after I had the drinking under control. Saved my marriage and ultimately myself as suicide was the likely the outcome without the help I received.
I am now a 3rd year apprentice with the electricians union here in the USA/Canada. 1more year and some change until I turn out as a journeyman commercial/industrial electrician. Still here in the desert.
Still married. She stuck with me. For this I owe her my life.
On December 26th, 2019, we brought a new life into this world.
This is Jasmine
Don't know if anyone cares or not. Just a lazy Sunday here. Life is going good. Thought I'd check in.
I hope everyone is doing well both on here on the other forum.

Sometimes life sucks for all the wrong reasons.
Go hug your wife and kid and tell them you love them.

I refuse to go out with nothing more than a whimper followed by a small farting sound and a shit stain on my bed sheets..
Just thought I'd share that with you.

Phoenix is lovely. You either love it or hate it. We enjoy it. Brutal summers outside doing electrical work but I survived.
I applied for and received my Arizona medical marijuana card but recently let it lapse as I don't need Cannabis any longer. Plus, archaic drug testing policies are no bueno.

Hey DM,
Thanks for the update. Glad to know you're doing well, and congrats on the wee one. Perhaps leaving Cambodia calmed you down - it isn't for everyone.
In any event, hope to see you posting more.
Are we still allowed to make chin jokes?

Bro, I made a joke at the hospital right before birth like " I hope she looks like Sophea" and my own mother fires back "we all do".
Can't say I disagreed!

My wildest night (that was fun) in Cambodia was spent in your company, my friend. One of those memories I'll think back on in a decade or so to help me feel young again.

One day at a time, brother. Congrats an everything. Unless your name is Matt, I don't think we ever met, but I remember your posts. Think of the Sun Also Rises, Jake Barnes was impotent you're not!
