Congrats man, it feels great doesn't it. I was in the same boat as you, I couch surfed as long as I could, lived in garages, and eventually ended up straight up homeless with no shelter and nothing else except for a bad opiate habit for years. It took covid to get me to get clean after being in a methadone for over 5 years at that point. Now I'm typing this from my basement, sitting in my sim racing rig with all kinds of electronics sitting around me that I woulda just pawned to get right a couple years ago. It feels great and is the hardest thing I've ever done in my time in this world. Keep doing what you're doing man and enjoy the hardware. Might end up deleting this haha. Not sure I want all that out there forever
