Hey all,

I just wanted to introduce myself as well as my kitty Darwin. I'm 37 Divorced and live with my best friend Darwin. He is a handsome little devil, which probably explains why he gets asked out on more dates then me lol.

We are Jersey born and bread! :)

 If there is anything yall want to know about me feel free to ask. I am not overly outgoing which is why I don't know how better to introduce myself. Here are a couple pics of my boy, he is the  most well behaved kitty I have ever had, well, the second best behaved.  My kitty prior was killed tragically by an emergency vet which was quite traumatic on me and if it wasn't for my family getting me a new kitten right away I probably would not have gotten another one as I was so attached to him. His name was Guinness, he passed of a heart attack from fright because the dumb ass vet would not listen to me when I told him to sedate Guinness if he needed to x-ray him or anything as he was terrified of new people, instead the vet muzzled him and he had a heart attack and died. The vet was lucky he wasn't there when I went to pick up Guinness's body or I would have been put in jail for pummling him. I took Guinness to his regular vet to have him creamated and he now sits on the mantel of my fireplace in a pretty cherry wood box with his favorite toy inside. Many think I am a freak for having my cat creamated and keeping him, but I am sure that you all here would understand the bond we can have with out puddy tats :)

Anyway, I am glad I found this place, it seems like a nice place to chill with like minded people. 

A little about me, I am a recovering alcoholic and have been sober for very close to 2 years. I almost died due to my addiction and since surviving 2 months in the hospital, my Darwin is the only reason I am still alive. He is always with me when I am down or sick, and he has kept me from ending things when I felt trapped and there was nothing left for me in this world. He would sit on my chest, put his paw over my lips, kiss my nose and just look me right in the eyes as if to say, it's OK daddy, I am here for you. 

I spent a lot of my spare time in a support forum for people who are new to recovery or are at that point where the want to make a change in their lives. I have mentored a lot of people over the last few years and that too has helped me make sense of my life.

I am also a ranking officer in a PC gaming squad, where we play first person shooters like Call of Duty, Battlefield, and other Misc games of similar nature. 

I have an affinity for Android phones and I am a technology geek. I had a great job in the telecommunications industry as a Sr.Application Engineer / Sr. Internet Systems Admin. Sadly due to my alcoholism, I am now disabled and in need of a liver transplant.

Well, that was probably well more information then yall ever wanted to know about me, but as I said I am not good at introductions, so I just tell people the truth about my life as I have nothing to hide nor be ashamed of. We all live and learn, some learn faster then others, some like me, need to experience life before making choices, and sadly that has almost cost me my life on a couple of occasions, but I would not change anything. If someone learns early from hearing about my life and if I can help someone in a way I wish I could have been helped, then I feel I made the right choices. I know and I hope people continue to hear my story and think about the decisions they make and I can save someone the pain of what I have been through. If I save just one person, then everything I have done in life is and was worth it.

Anyways, It's nice to meet you all and I hope I am welcome into your community.

Take care!

John aka Enduser2941, aka, T, aka, Pain (Yeah I have alot of persona's but they are all the same person, just different alias's. ;)

Here's some more of my boy..
