You’re old enough and ugly enough to know that’s not the way mate. Don’t let whatever it is eat you up. The drink pretty much killed my old man! After our kid died at 14, he just went off the rails and at it and to hell with what he had to live for! Two sons, two beautiful granddaughters, everything paid off etc 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tatsblisters 9,936 Posted Sunday at 19:30 Report Share Posted Sunday at 19:30 Another happy place i have a wander down to now and again as it brings back memories the old man taking me to this spot when I was about 8 years old catching perch with my first fishing and small centre pin reel even though it's changed a bit over the years due to work on the dams and bridge. 4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Two sons, two beautiful granddaughters, everything paid off etc Sorry to hear that mate i think we probably all find things out about ourselves through lifes journey,suppose im only just now finding out im not as tough as i thought i was. My logic is that having lived a fit healthy life up until recently i can probably get away with going hard at the drink through a particularly bad time.... probably just a weak man making excuses for being a prick but it dont seem all that important anymore truth be told.....ta mate anyway 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of men on here are going/gone through shit! And it stays with us. The one thing my dad couldn’t get, is that focusing on the past is a sure way to the good Lord! He provided everything for me, my brothers, daughters and my mum. One thing stopped him moving on. Talk to somebody you trust and have a cry and let it out 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Talk to somebody you trust and have a cry and let it out I was diagnosed yrs back with childhood trauma, PTSD and a deep rooted severe depression. I've been a proper c**t over the years because of the above, to myself and others, and have used drink and other, more exotic substances as a crutch. But the fact is, you have to just let the past go, you cant change it and we only affect our here and now be giving it any time, likewise the future, doesn't exist, when we close our eyes to sleep it's today, when we awake, it's today, we never exist in any other time. Easier said than done, I know from experience, but sit down with your demons, make em a cuppa, give em a biscuit, have a proper chat and get to know them, then tell em to f**k off and get on with your day....

Wouldn't swap this little f****r for twenty of the others nowadays. Just great company and better than any drug for making you feel better....take care fella, and remember, everything moves in circles, better times will come sooner or later....
