IN NOMINE SALVATORIS DOMINI
TLDR: All is good with me. The past few months, I've been seeing doctors of all kinds to get my health back on track. Doing great now.
Sorry I haven't been drawing or been around. I have been prioritizing my health over everything else. Nothing serious has happened to make me take this path. It was a thought that I am at the age where things need to be taken more serious when it comes to my well being. And that I'm not young and able to heal as quick anymore. I've been seeing my doctor more and we've taken steps to up my health a bit more.
Also I am seeing my dentist more, he found three of my teeth are loose. I'm seeing a specialist this October to get a bone graft done. Other then that, I got no other problems with my mouth.
I had blood work done, and the good news is, I got a clean bill of health. No STIs. No sign of diabetes. Immune to Hepatitis B and I got a Hepatitis A vaccine shot last week. This is great since I also quick smoking for two years, and quit drinking and smoking marijuana for 8 years too.
My mental health is doing better and better. My antidepressant medication working for my MDD and OCD. I'll be seeing a CBT or DBT therapist hopefully soon. I am in a better mindset and there are some days where it gets hard to deal with what is going on with my mind, it isn't as bad as before.
Lastly I will be taking up my aquarium hobby again, this time I'm experimenting with lava soils to see what is the best for growing aquatic plants. It will be a waiting game for several months to see any very noticeable results. My tarantula hobby is still strong, just... Tarantulas are like pet rocks, they stand still all day. I need animals that are on the move constantly so fish meets that criteria I seek.
Things are looking better for me now.

Congratulations on being off of alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana, that is an amazing accomplishment! I'm glad you're doing so much better with the psychological stuff as well. I too understand that being older now, I'm not the young guy that once bounced back from almost anything. so I need to be proactive to keep myself healthy. I wish you continued success!
