Uni is a place where we get a chance to make mistakes. As long as they aren't major ones, we can recover from them and move on. Fear is a big driver for a lot of people, but as you reflect, you can see that you can be your own person and discover healthy friendships as a more mature adult.

I hope you find what you need.

I lost contact with everyone I knew at uni within a couple of years of graduation and I think that's probably quite usual; after all we came from different parts of the country, or indeed different countries.

i knew you were alcoholic but drug addiction? shame on you.
