A little over two months ago I joined this forum in search of advice and things to do to my JK, but I found more than that. Before I joined I was in a bad place in my life for a long time. With that said, here is a short story telling what I mean by that. I was born with a few things wrong with me, thanks to a drug a doctor gave my mom to help with morning sickness. It left me with no hands and no left foot.
Growing up I was always picked on, starred at, f'd with, I could go on and on. I did not like the fact that I was different than the other kids my age. So I would try to hide it by sticking my "nubs" in my pockets and always wear long pants so no one would see my fake leg. This went on for years. I then discovered beer, liquor and weed. This was my new mask to hide behind, to "escape" from my handicap.
After a few years of waking up in the parking lots of bars, fights, run-ins with local law enforcement and suicide attempts I found a girl that has got me in the right direction in my life. She has been with me for three years now and has started to let me see the light so to speak. After watching me try to keep resurrecting my old Cherokee and failing a lot, she bought me my 2012 JK. Which gets me back to the main part of this.
Joining this forum has been a great step in fighting my depression and social anxiety issues. I have made a lot of new friends on here. Some of you I have got a chance to meet and hang out with, and some I get to talk to via phone and pm's. In the last few months my girlfriend, family, and co-workers have noticed and commented on my attitude being better and me being more outgoing.
I give a big part of my getting better to being on here and hanging out, wheeling, and becoming a part of the WAYALIFE family.
Again thank you to all that have helped me become a better person and accepting me for who I am and not what I am.:beer:
