I also think Chris should be applauded for his honesty.
It takes guts to admit to bad choices and decisions, especially when you really don't have to.
He could have spun a load of BS about himself, and no-one would have been any the wiser.
Nobody is perfect, and we all makes mistakes in life. He has turned his life around, and this forum seems to be helping him a great deal, in as much as he has made friends here.
I count myself among them.
I don't suffer fools or BS, but I do know Chris appears to be very genuine, and he has taken criticism on the chin.
He deserves a break. and I'm happy that he has found joy in collecting again, cos let's face it...collecting things you love is awesome.
Chris is a valued member of these forums IMO, and when he first joined here, I got the wrong impression of him.
After getting to know him, albeit only thru' the written word, I know my first impressions were wrong.
I hope maybe one day we will get to meet.
As we say in Liverpool...he is sound.

The worst thing about collecting is not collecting...I know it sounds weird but it's that  inbetween time between a purchase and saving up for the next purchase. I think in 2020 I went from a bottom tier collector to a mid tier I think (wow I hate repeating the same word in the same sentence, but I'll let it stick). So now it takes me months to save...
These are books I bought in 2020

So as I have said I have focused my collecting goals to Silver Age....These are some recent purchases

Me too Paul!

Honest thoughtful journal, which has been a pleasure to read.
I hope you continue to collect what you like rather than follow the herd.
Best of luck to you, and keep posting, at times, you're quite a funny guy!

We are now in the latter (hopefully) stages of a worldwide pandemic known to the world as Coronavirus or Covid19. This virus has had an affect on us all....but from what I have noticed it had brought alot of us on the site closer together, old feuds have been repaired, hatchets have been buried
For myself I have continued to collect...now bringing the journey to the Silver Age....mostly Spideys! And from the advice of friends who have been collecting for longer then I have been alive, it has been a pleasure!

Thank you Paul
From you, that means the world to me...
I'm doing my best out here to be a better person, and collecting books is...well pretty awesome!
And to meet guys like you and to get feedback is inspirational...and I do hope one day we get to meet Paul
