Hey guys! I took the opp to read a bit before posting an intro and almost just didn't because I'm really not cool enough to be here. But holy wow, what an awesome community! I am super stoked this place exists because I haven't traveled in ages. These days, I'm a single (for 11 years/ asexual?) 42-year-old mom and clinical social worker (mostly from home since covid) doing therapy with folks who have pretty severe mental illnesses- my clients have been deemed "unfit" to stand trial. I also volunteer with a womens rehab and group home for boys. My work IS fulfilling, but I do miss the road, so its been great to read some of the crazy beautiful, and well-written stories here. Thanks so much!

Uhh, have you met us before? None of us are cool, you'll fit right in. Welcome.

You're right. ;) I feel like I have met you through reading some of the works here. Some of ya'll (I should've said something about being southern and a cringe-y leftist who uses a winky face in my type too often up there ^^) write so beautifully real that it confused me for a bit.

Also, I don't want to argue on my first own post here so will just agree to disagree about the cool levels ;)

Not sure if this is right place, but just wanted to make first post and intro myself.

basically i’m an ex addict living a normal 9-5 life and i hate it. want to become a drifter and see as much as I can. so really want to learn how to hop trains.

Welcome to both of you, Burger, you might want to start your own thread, I think you will get some cool feed back. I was just over a year sober when I hit The Road, and it's been critical to keeping me together.

Ozarknomad, I kicked it in the Ozarks for the first few months of 2009. Welcome! I was glad I went, but also glad I left.
