Good for you bro. I'm also a fellow addict. I haven't touched H or anything in years, but I've been stuck on an endless cycle of subs. I'm tapering off finally, and next week I move down to 2mg a day. Anyhow, congrats on your sobriety and getting back on the board.

Nah man, even crazier - 35mph! "Alligators can reach speeds of up to 35 mph on land (though they're known to tire quickly). And in the water, they can reach a top speed of 20 mph, which is faster than a bottlenose dolphin". Just made me think of that gator video in SC that I think was around last year..gator comes out of a pond and books it! Maybe it is seasonal, like they're slower when it's colder out? FL crazy af
