Sounds about correct to me honestly. You can message me if you'd like to further talk or anything. He looks oddly familiar and I don't know why, I don't recall ever knowing him or anything of that sort. But I feel for you, I truly do, otherwise I wouldn't of bothered to say anything at all.

And what's the scoop? What have you found out, any sort of breadcrumb trails? Do all of his aquantinces stories of when they last saw him line up with each other or does any one in particular seem "off" or stand out from the rest?

Good to hear. Hope and pray you never have to use it. Preparation is key tho. Violence doesn't give warnings ahead of time

Have you considered the possibility that maybe he's staying in one of the surrounding towns(Branson, Ozark, sparta, nixa, Highlandville, Spokane, Republic) have you reached out to known aquantinces of his? Etc?

I would conceal carry if I were you honestly. You don't need a license, Missouri is a constitutional carry state. Aside from that and just suggesting that you be safe, hopes and prayers that you find your brother. If my brother went missing I'd raise hell itself up until I found him.

Thank you friend. I certainly intend to keep it up, for the rest of my days. Thank you again.

Thank you for the kind words my friend. I always appreciate them no matter who they come from. And indeed I am quite happy with my progress and where I am at and am currently going towards in life. Best thing about hitting rock bottom is that there is NOWHERE else to go except UP.

I don't think it's that Facebook itself is inherently toxic. Like drugs it can indeed be a useful tool but only when used correctly and moderation being key. I only use Facebook myself to communicate with people I need to communicate with and to share motivational/advice type stuff with those who are a part of my life. But it stops there. I do my best to always remain mindful of what I'm doing if I am on Facebook. If I find myself scrolling at all in an unhealthy manner I will exit and turn the app off for the time being. But yes the vast majority of the population would find dramatic increases to their mental health after cessation of use of Facebook entirely. Facebook and even phones themselves have before and still do/are forms of addiction in my experience. That's coming from my perspective tho as a recovered poly substance addict and recovered heroin fentanyl addict of 5ish years and have been sober for 3 this spring.
