tatsblisters 10,270 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Its sad but I would say an high percentage of alkys are a lost cause but fair play for giving your mate a chance. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackmaggie i so hope don't get treated the same way as you did and iv'e offered my help in any way as without the folks who did put themselves out and put some time and effort into me then i wouldn't be here today.it won't be easy for any of them but a bit of faith,some trust and some forgiveness and who knows give this fella a chance and he could be one of the winners ..i got my fingers crossed for him anyway... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blackmaggie 3,377 Posted March 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I'm sorry it ended like it did for you jjm you sound like you did your best and good on you for doing so my mate has never been a thief he did have a good business short of it was put all his eggs in one basket then had the rug pulled under him and lost everything i do believe my mate wants to get dry so he can see his kids again and I do expect good and bad days but I will stand by him if there comes a time were I have to admit defeat at least I tried my best but I do really believe he wants it but at this time I won't turn my back on him we all need help at some point and when I did he stepped up so its time to honour my promise and hopefully I can do that 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
