Bottom line up front, I want to use this post to apologize for my past behavior under my previous username @joerhino.
I joined this community some time ago back during the Steem days as @joebrochin during a period in my life when my physical health, and eventually my mental health, was in rapid decline. Unfortunately, due to a mental break and poor decisions on my part, I broke some of the community rules and acted in ways that were inappropriate and hurtful under the usernames @joerhino, @itsmrhino, and @heavyness.
In the end, I understand my personal challenges still do not justify me being a total dick but felt you should have some context.
So, it is time now to be upfront with you and admit that I left the community under very negative circumstances. However, after receiving a great deal of therapy and medication since that time, I've been able to take steps towards recovery and I wanted to return to this community to make amends and become a positive member once again. However, I was so embarrassed by my horrid behavior that I just wasn’t sure how to do it or if I could do it.
It is understood that my actions have caused harm and mistrust, and for that, I am truly sorry. I also want to admit that I returned to the community under a different username @coinjoe without revealing my true identity. I now realize that this was dishonest and unethical behavior, and I want to come clean about my past here on Hive.
I hope that you can find it in your hearts to forgive me and allow me to reintegrate into the community with honesty and accountability. I am committed to following the community guidelines and being a positive and respectful member as well as someone who contributes to the community in anyway I feasibly can as part of my continued therapy and recovery process.
As a demonstration of my commitment to this, I have delegated 279 HP to @theterminal. This is about what I have found to be the total HP in rewards the @joerhino account received over time. I will leave the delegation in place for good or unless the community decides I should do something else with the 279 HP.
In addition, until the end of the year, I will be adding @vetfunding as a 100% beneficiary on ALL of my posts. This account helps support military veterans from around the world on Hive.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and again, I am truly sorry for my past behavior and deception. Whatever the community decides should be my fate now, I accept and understand.
Sincerely,
Joe

It takes courage to admit our mistakes, and even more so to correct them.
I do feel the sincerity in your apology. And I hope others can see that too!
Wish you the best in your recovery and your journey, on and off hive.
It is sincere, and I am still a work in progress. Thank you so much.
Joe, thank god you doing great and second chances are here to take. Good luck and never stop being you
Thank you !
The most important thing is that you are doing better! It takes a lot of guts to own up and apologize, takes a class act brother!
Thank you. Like we said before it is one step at a time.
Joy, Light & Healtiness Joe... Thanks for being you!
Thanks!
@coinjoe...
I remember when I was younger... my mom spent a fortune on my teeth; I had all the "fun stuff"... neck gear, braces, sagittal appliances, but the main gear was my Bionator. I remember having it in my pocket one day when I was playing at the local park where I grew up. The hard part... was when Mom asked me where it was... I thought about it all night... where could it have gone? Made myself sick trying to tear my room apart... trying to find it. Long story short... Mom knew where it was (she had it, as she found it by my bike outside) and was waiting for me to say something...
You might be thinking... "What does this have rot do with me?" The hardest part is stepping off that diving board. You admitted to some things you have done, and now... moving forward... well, it's one of my favorite TAGS I like to use:

Thank you Wes. I intend not to make those mistakes again. And as far as using the Chat GP for help in improving my writing, like I stated in my comments on those posts, I will not make that mistake again either. I apologize for that as well and for being dodgy about it when you inquired about it. I ask your forgiveness dear brother.
@coinjoe...
I am still chatting with you brother. I know... I was trying to respectfully give you an "unspoken hint"... lol. As I said... tomorrow is the goal... Nothing to forgive... we are hooman.

You are the best! and I still felt I needed to say it to you. It is all about opening the kimono adn making sure it is all off the chest so I can move forward cleanly with true accountability and honesty.
@coinjoe...
Oh... I know brother. I remember when we first met at The Terminal... and the conversations. I can remember these same meetings; I've been with The Terminal for some time... greeting people in the early morning hours. Waiting for my MS meds to kick in...
It's not a joke to me... I feel like I have met family. Because that's what we consider ourselves there. Some have stayed, while some have moved on. All that babbling, to tell you I get it. Much love brother...

When someone breaks out of their mold and confesses past mistakes and attitudes (who the hell doesn't have that??? (I only know of one, the Son of God)) then we are to forgive them of past transgressions.
And everyone of us are guilty at some point in our measly little lives.
I for one totally get it, and it's so refreshing to see someone actually open up to the vulnerabilities and put everything out in the open: congrats for that.
Now it's time to move onward and upward, massive good luck and blessings to you Joe.
Semper Fi!
