Good for you brother, I have a similar story.Well said! I couldn't agree more! At one time I spent all my money on meth, or on the supplys to make meth! And all I have to show for that life is a felony record, 5 years 8 months of prison experience, and no short term memory! Plus other issues that I know came from so many years of self abuse! I thank God everyday that I've been sober for the past 10 years and that I was able to get away from that existence!
I was spending my money on custom knives for so long after I got home, and I got burnt out on em, but something I've never gotten burnt out on, and I hope I never do! Even when I was at the peek of my using I still managed to take care to keep my Oakleys pristine! I babied the $hit outta my glasses, and when the flex couplers wore out, I put em in their box and put em up, hoping to one day be able to fix em again, which I finally did!
I love the old school Oakley designs, and will always have a deep love for them! And I love this Forum! What an awesome place to be able to come with anything from issues with your shades, to a quest for information and education! I've met some amazing people here, some very kind and generous people, and I feel at home.
I thank and appreciate you all
I use to spend a hundred dollars a day on beer, weed, cigarettes and fast food, now I can have nice stuff instead.
