Life In Recovery I told you about me being clean for 15 years...I also relapsed many many many times b4 having success.. Your remind me of Prince Ea with today's video. It is the worst feeling ever when you relapse. You're words have much wisdom. so glad I subbed.
Life In Recovery hey dude, im a british infantry soilder. ive been to iraq at the age of 19 and fought and to afghan and really fought hard in the battle of true good and terrifying evil and have had my fair amount of experiences that have changed my life for the better and worse. I was a typical soilder that drinks but didnt realise I was heading down a very dark and dangerous path untill I woke up in what I can only call a crack den or at least a place that resembles one and said to myself what are you fuckimg doing to yourself brother
, get a grip. I was diagnosed with ptsd and a chemical in balance in the brain which I had been suffering on my own just like many other womem and men had and still are in silence. I have not touched cocane or beer like I was every day before for 8 weeks now apart from two small set backs that have onky made me stronger and more determined to gey as well as possible. I watched this upload and could relate to alot of what you said well all of it was playing close to home.
thankyou for sharing your story and I would love to swap emails so I can start to help people and soilders in Britain, because unlike you our colony brothers and sisters dont have many youtubers that touch on these subjects.
many thanks
The recoverying Brit
Life In Recovery im scared brother I take solace in your story i have lost everything because of alcohol and drugs I'm scared i will not be able to change!
Thank you for this. I could say porn/masturbation addiction makes everything harder as well. Time to quit. It drains and makes you feel like @##% after.

You got this kid, for me it is 4 days and what helps is meditation and "Kudzu" they are daily root supplements that curves your wanting to drink. text anytime before you think about picking up a drink 646-841-5896

How are you
I was 10 months sober and relapsed recently. The repercussions are awful. My access to my daughter has become supervised again and I have a long road back to getting her on my own again. Your speech really helped motivate me today. Thank you so much!
Wow thanks alot! I am so glad it helped!!!! Subscribe if you can!
I’m on day 3,again.its so hard.thankyou Trey for this video.very powerful and actually brought tears to my eyes.im going to watch daily and I WILL get my life back.🙏🏼
My problem is my hangovers are just anxiety and depression now. Also, Im a highly functional alcoholic. I got trashed almost every night this semester and passed at the top of my class. I was 1 of 12 people who passed. I dont understand it. But Im thinking if Im this talented while being a lush, I cant imagine how much I could accomplish sober. Thanks for the motivation. Ive quit before, but I need to make it permanent.

I am so happy I found this video. I have been clean from drugs for over 3 years now, but lately the fight to stay sober has been becoming harder and harder to keep control of. I have become angry with myself and started taking it out on everyone I love. I spoke all day with my wife trying to figure out why after 3 years are my demons waging war against me. So I started looking for some kind of motivation to get me thinking positive again. This has really helped, I know it's still going to be a fight but it's one I will continue to win with any help available. Thank you for all your words you spoke in the video. Tomorrow is a new day and a new opportunity to get back my happiness.
i had gaming addiction beacuse of you i had left that addiction thank you so much
+Gohar Golu awesome that I could help! Thanks for the wonderful comment and subscribe if you are able to!
Thanks Trey. I have been watching alot of these alcohol reduction/cessation videos, have read multiple books, tried different techniques eg- drinking sparklimg H2O with lime...none have worked. I have form too- detox inpatient twice, narcotic (pills and heroin multiple times), NA and weekly counselling.. but i still struggle. Im 44 yo now. I feel that i really am coming to a turning point and as you say (amd i say many many times...you can't stop trying). Today is a new day. Im sick of the battle. I am super fortunate i have kept my job in health care and i gym 4 days a week (often picking up 200ml of vodka on the way home)...such a contradiction and feeeling like such a fraud.
Im going to do this...I want to succeed and have done it with other hard drugs.
Thankyou for your insights...this is why i liked NA- other peoples suffering isnt at all pleasant, but it is reassurimg we arent alone....i have actually ever done alcohol WD- Narcotics and benzo WD is hard as fuck, insomnia for weeks and i already get nightmares- with or without medications... but that me.
Last thing, i have met melanoma and have responded really well to treatment- i feel disrespectful doing these things and having such apathy life...especailly seeimg people in my clinic who didnt make it..yet here i am...almost tempting my death...i feel shame.
Thanks for reading and good luck to you all working through this....
I am 31& stay alone, have been drinking since i was 17. All these years I was a weekend binge drinker. Last year I quit my job to start my own business, since then as I had more free time, the drinking has gotten out of hand. In past 3 months I have been drinking almost every day, flopped on my new business(Not due to alcohol). Now I have to look for a job as I am running out of my savings, more due to alcohol. Stuck in a vicious cycle of drinking until late night & spending the day in regret, due to which I haven't been able to go for interviews. Really need to sober up before its too late...Thanks for the video, love from India
+Kuntal Sarma thank you so much for sharing!!!! I wish you the best of luck and understand it all! You are very welcome for the video! Stay safe! Subscribe if you get a chance!
I'm 41 and I wanna stop I drink at night to sleep this hits home I'm alone
This is amazing I’m going through this alcohol and Xanax withdrawal as we speak. Please don’t stop making these videos. Truly inspiring
How are you doing I'm coming off klonapin. I'm scared more than iv ever been and iv detoxed from just about every drug there is. But benzodiazapine withdraw is the worst in my opinion. I hope your doing great I seen you posted 7 months ago.
Bro your speech literally got me in tears! I am a musician as well, also a trumpet player and was a music major in college. I now feel lost and feel like I’ve lost so much because of my stupid addiction! Your words were on point and I strongly identify. Thank you sooo much 🙏🏼. Your speech was amazing. Ima apply it to my everyday life. Thank you so much bro!
I hope you're doing ok
I'm in the Navy and referred myself for help with alcohol and im on my to a 5 week alcohol rehab, I WILL SHOW THEM THIS VIDEO AND GET THEM TO SHOW OTHERS THIS!!!!
+bruce roundtree wow that's awesome thanks for your service and formatting the video!!! Subscribe if you get a chance!
I remember my first year of college, flunked all my classes and eventually dropped out because of alcohol. I chose to get drunk instead of going to class or to get homework done. Every night I would drink until I pass out and wake up with a hangover and eventually do it again. I still drink today once a week or so but I will stop. Like you said , “ alcohol makes life harder”
And that’s so true.
I’m back in college and currently two years in. Two more years to go for my bachelors degree.
I know if I continue alcohol, I know I wouldn’t be able to get it.
I am crying now... Where the hell I am heading ? I need to get back on track... And that's too right now

+Yazbecht Sanchez good luck!
Hugo, you got this my man...stay strong and keep some faith in yourself.
Sheesh dude great inspiration right here. I’ve been a little over a month sober and yesterday I got the urge but beautifully didn’t give in and I was feeling kind of crappy this morning thinking about the good times I had on weed and alcohol so I needed some good insight from a person that isn’t close to me so I figured I’d go on TH-cam and found this video. Very happy right now man. Thanks for this. Much appreciated
Watched this video 3 months ago and led me to attempt recovery. Took a month of trying on my own to check into a program. Today I have 60 days and wanted to come back and watch this again. Thank you for your video. Life is so beautiful. 33 years of drinking and the last 60 days have been so freeing. The 1st time I watched your video I was in tears and broken. Watching it now for the 2nd time I am in tears again But feeling free and hopeful. A huge thanks from Joe in Utah
wow thats so amazing! Glad it helped you! Subscribe if you havent Joe!
Great stuff! I've been making a major effort to stay sober and be positive.
Unfortunately, I relapsed last week after getting pulled over for the first time in my life.
Let my guard down for a minute... Got a bullshit ticket. Afterwards, I drove straight to the nearby gas station to buy beer because I was so pissed at myself.
But, that was one day and now I'm back to sobriety.
I'm a long-time subscriber. Keep doing what you're doing!
+XHellXGeistX thank you so much for the comment and thank you for being loyal subscriber! Yeah it's amazing on how something small like a ticket will bring us to relapse as if it's worth it! You have the right attitude! One day at a time! Keep in touch!
Life In Recovery I will, thank you.
you are very welcome!
Was it worth it? you got pulled over because the law saved you from saving yourself from killing someone my child.
XHellXGeistX I’ve been there buddy it’s hard man relapse is a part of recovery though still it is no excuse
I celebrate 3 weeks
+___andrei ___Caamano __ heck yeah!!!!
good
Today I’ve realised that I wanna Change life. I’m still young, I’m only 18 and I’ve been using ketamine atleast 4 to 5 days a week for over a year and I’ve lost a lot of connections with friends and family due to this habit and it kills me to see myself push them away just because of this one substance. I hope I can follow through with this because I wanna make the most out my life and not let the ketamine make my life. So I do thankful I’ve stumbled across this video. God bless you man
Wow Thank you so much for the comment, please keep in touch, and please Subscribe if you haven’t gotten the chance!
You are right when you say we are a host to our addictions. I have never thought of it that way before. I’m 44 days sober today. I am better for having my addictions as long I continue on a daily basis to confront all of them honestly and openly with courage.
I’ve longed to achieve so much more to the point of beyond what I can dream of achieving. (God’s plan for me) that’s what I want now to live out.
Through getting my arse into the AA program on a regular basis I’m now a real chance of real spiritual growth which I’m starting to finally walk new ground in at the age of 38.
God bless you all to get honest with yourselves in your addictions.
Get a support system going for yourself with accountability which is AA.
I look forward to seeing you in the 4th dimension of spiritual sobriety. 🚀
Amazing video .... I felt like a failure every time I would relapse like a never ending cycle. You video helped me to keep fighting
Very proud of you brother. I am 60 and have never had a alcoholic drink in my life after being born a Alcoholic to two alcoholic parents.20 lashes with a strap to a child from alcoholics is not a nice thing. I have never been with a woman that drinks and never will because of this. Alcoholism is not a disease it is a weakness. No one needs it - I am living proof -60 years off no Alcohol and only ever smoking fresh air.

MY BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im sturggling so muc
Keep your head up! I struggled too! I relapsed hundreds of times before i got it right!
Me too. I relapsed too many times to count, but I eventually got it
Relapse is all part of the quitting process. It's never considered starting over. It's just part of the process. If you do drink, do not have regrets, and don't be harsh to yourself.. Just resume the pace... You will do it..
Keep tryin ..plzzz keep trying
I’ll say that I have a problem with bing drinking. Addiction is definitely is my genetics. While I’m not physically addicted I feel as though alcohol drives my anxiety and depression. I’m a very driven person but alcohol takes away my drive. I’m choosing today to stop drinking all together. I can just tell that if I keep drinking it will get worse. I’ve already let it slow my progression in life and I don’t want to let it ruin it. I really appreciate your video.
Last drink was Jan 24th 2019 . Thank you for the speech man.
I needed this today. Right here in this moment you spoken all my truth, brother. This has given me the boost I so desperately needed today.
Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

+Jane Russell how are you now? So glad to help and thank you so much for the comment! Subscribe if you can!
This was simple yet really powerful, thank you for the video!
I cried seeing this video. I’ve been drinking on and off for years but got overwhelmed the other day ready to end it all by drinking my life away. I blacked out and didn’t think I was alive anymore. I know that drinking isn’t the answer plus I just had a baby I don’t wanna be a bad Influence I wanna do better. I’ve been sober for 4 days and still struggling with the tremors and night sweats I never gotten to this point at all.
You are blessed you are one of a kind 👋🙏😇 I'm so proud of u I might not know u but it makes me so happy to hear and see people change their life out of addiction

Well i sure hope you can get on the path of sobriety soon and get every bit of help you deserve! Thanks for the comment Allison and subscribe if you are able!
Ive come to the point where I’m over alcohol (day 5) Methadone day 20 something. I have been having trouble with the Clonidine dosage, either not enough relief or too low blood pressure to even lift your head. I watched Trainspotting the other night and the end scene where, he said “Choose Life” so powerful...
Thats so awesome Steve! Keep it up! Thanks for the comment, Keep in touch, and Subscribe if you havent!
I just whatch this video and it really helped me understand. Everything became so clear
The reason I'm saying this is because I'm addicted to play video games (funny right) you taught alcohol and drugs are the only thing that can stop you from working harder, wrong. So decide not to waste another year, second of my life, I'm going to wake up from this nightmare tonight. I don't even know why I commented this, I just wants to get better, live mi life in the moments I guess.
Thank you!
Things at the moment are tough, but it helps me so much when I hear of other people sharing their success stories. This video touched me , and only adds to my resolve to move forward and start living life and being happy... Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart at sharing this video with people like myself that really need help... you inspired me. God bless
+Mike Starrtelli wow thanks! Good luck to you and subscribe if you can!
You are a Godsend. Thank you so much for your wisdom, kindness and compassion. God bless you. ❤
thanks for sharing, i quit xanax 2 years ago, it's still a struggle at times though, especially because someone in my family is prescribed it. somedays i just want to take it, but i know i won't and it helps encourage me to see people like you.
This video has hit me hard I'm 27 n I decided to get sober on my birthday a couple of days ago back on the 2nd and whiskey was my biggest addiction I drank every single day n it's odd for me to do things sober to go places sober for once n these withdraws suck but this video helped me so much thank u for this video
I had an automutilation addiction in combination with alcohol. I beat the first addiction years ago. It's tough that the scars, my deepest secret is visible for everybody. I overcame severe depression against all odds (I was very depressed for over 20 years). I'm trying to beat the second addiction now and I'm on day 3. Even though I overcame so much, I also had an ovarian tumor when I was 25 I was deadly ill, I still don't feel like a winner. I really hope I will some day. Life is really tough, but I will stay positive and tryin to make something of my life. Thanks for sharing your story.
You are so welcome and thanks for sharing! You have been through alot and thats very inspiring! Keep it up and congrats on 3 days! Subscribe if you havent! and keep in touch!
Man that ATIVAN really helped with the leg kicking, plus it knocked me out at least 5 hrs. Finally sleep. I went to the beach today, Swam in sea, sun bathed, listening to Double - Captain of Her Heart, lol, beautiful girls in bikinis every where, I actually forgot I was in withdrawal until I came home. I brought no alcohol back either I smoke pot but I plan to give that up soon well as I could lose my licence in a RBT drugswipe., more so it is something that will potentially hold me back, plus I will have money to go out to meet girls and make new buddies. Seems more appealing than me wasting my life watching movies etc.
Awesome man!seems like a good time! And yeah kicking the weed may help in the long run! Good luck!
CHeers Bratha..... from the other side of the globe.
Hey man this video really touched me. I’m in absolute tears rn man. Thank you sooo much, you are a true inspiration.

I have a boxing match and I'm quitting everything Friday, I too have relapsed over and over but again this fight is a rematch as with the fight/boxing bout I'm having Sept 22nd, please send me love because I need to win the battle with myself, thank you, great talk. I have a little more hope in this darkness. I'm quitting all of it and I mean it's a long list. I must, I shall and I will.
I wish you only the best! Congrats on making this decision! Thank you so much for the comment, please keep in touch, and please Subscribe if you haven’t gotten the chance!
So far so good bro! rough day though.
Damn. Mine was waking up everyday with regret. Alcohol has no problem letting you know. I got a little tear when you said how many times you relapsed. Truth. All it takes is one time.
I’ve had that so many times, regret
@@Cognitoman Iv been sober 1 year and 1 month now. Thought I was gonna drink till I was dead. I was so close to death. I was 113 lbs till I got help. Now I’m 152lb feeling great l. We do recover. Stay up my friend
After watching this, you have inspired me to get clean for good! Only two days clean so far but it's a start right?
Thank you so much, stay strong!
+Curtis Potter how are you now?! Thanks for the comment and subscribe if you can!
Thank you, although I’m not quitting drinking today this video has brought some tears and perspective to the life I live. I really want to make a change but I feel like the it’s the hardest thing that bears over my life. Maybe one day xo
I was drinking heavy since 21, I’m 28 now. Drank virtually everyday for the last 5 years. Combo of depression, anxiety etc. Lots of bad shit happened and constantly told myself I’d quit daily but that demon kept fucking with me. Finally quit; 29 days now and have NO intention of even taking a sip. I wake up at 5am everyday, have lots of energy, I work out and I’m more appreciative of life’s subtle beauties.
Wow Congrats on 29 days! Keep it up! Thanks for the comment, Keep in touch, and Subscribe if you havent!
I quit drinking alcohol in 2012 but have had a handful of slip ups since. The longest I had sober was 2 and a half years and then I drank for a week or so before getting myself back into meetings. Today I am sober and although I dont have as much time I also realize the time I spent sober was not time wasted because I was living healthier and taking better care of my body. I also realize that time is not the most important as my mind state and where my heart is at. I am determined to focus on my recovery everyday and asking God for his guidance and for him to show me his will and to make me an instrument of his love and peace to help others going through what I have.The alcohol is only a symptom of my real problem. Its not a drinking problem so much as a thinking problem. It is a spiritual problem. Our body, spirit, and mind are all intimately connected. One of the hardest things for me in sobriety that is also very important to my recovery is getting close to other people. I have seen people come and go I have seen people die and I have seen people recover. Its hard to feel again but its also exciting and I feel like I am getting another chance to live life as if I am being reborn.I am not turning away from my past or shutting the door on it. Alcoholism took my life away for a long time and recovery has slowly helped me build it back up. Some days and some nights are still really hard but I will keep my heart open even when the world can seem so cold because I know I have made it this far and I know I can keep going with God's help and the help of other recovering alcoholics.

Hey youtuber - thanks for your channel and videos. I'm attempting to go sober for 14 consecutive days. I haven't done that in over 15 years. I'm age 46. I generally drink every day 2 beers and at least 10 beers per weekend. The past ten years, I've seen it's affects on my mind and body. I know here and now is the time for me to get sober and stay sober and try to learn eventually how to simply have a glass of wine or cocktail out at a restaurant once in a while with my fiance. I'm asking for your support by typing this all out - need your support and encouragement. My fiance is not a big drinker at all which helps me out a ton. What's strange is that I work out a lot - I am a runner and I'm not fat, but even so, the beers are destroying my sleep, my energy and my digestive system. Wish me luck.

I’ve been sober now for five days after 7 years on it and I feel like I’m gonna beat it this time suffering with the shakes and seizures but it’s not gonna stop me
Thank you. It hurts so much. Now I just want somebody to hug me
Wow man. I wished this video would never end. Thanks, needed the motivation tonight. Off to Rehab on Monday, my own decision of course. Going to be hard for my family (loyal wife, 2 year old son and 3 week old daughter), probably harder for me, but entirely worth it. Thanks, and I'll be updating you in 21 days. Hugo

I checked myself out of detox last night after 2hrs. I couldn't do it. I ran right back to the bottle. Waking up trying to figure out how to get my fix. The director doesn't take clients for counseling anymore but she wants to help me. Seems like everyone wants to help me but me. I don't know how long it'll be before I make it back Everyone is just hoping I get help before I die
Thankyou so very much for this video!! I have been battling a strong addiction for years, first exposure started at age 10. I am now 26 and still battling. And i have gave up the fight and relapsed sooooo many times.. Just subscribed to your channel and seeking out other helpful resources to over come my addition. Thankyou so much!Going to check out your other videos too. :)

I am a porn addict maybe like from 2 or 3 years...and today i commit to myself and all of you guys who are reading my comment, that i am going to quit porn from this moment..thanks
Same here I'm tired of that addiction man it's so hard man it's a tough battle
We all share similar stories. I'm not one for meetings but I could go to AA and hear in essence the same processes that unfold even though I use cocaine. I have also been an alcoholic for two years, though it fizzled out and I returned to cocaine. Alcohol is a tough one. The physical urges were tightly coupled with my mental. I had Wellbutrin at the time (Bupropion) for depression and it is also used in Zyban to help quit smoking. It helped me immensely. When I thought of drinking the concordant physical discord in my chest was simply short circuited by the medication. It can help for the first few weeks. Recently I saved $50 grand in three years and landed a great job i'd been working on for two years. I worked a terminal manager for all that time, popping in dirty as hell from a hard days of work from my other job saying "Well I've been at my present job for over two years now and I still haven't been late or called in sick once. In three years I still never missed a day of work. After two years I convinced the guy to go to bat for me and persuade management to hire me in spite of a 20 page criminal rap sheet. I was a great worker. He said he considered me one of his best drivers. But I found the job stressful, began takings some benzos and one of my spots brought me deep into the hood and was a major trigger. I one night I relapsed. No preceding consideration, in a matter of seconds I was hit and the decision was made. Two days later I was laid off due to a refusal of a supervised drug test. I totalled two cars at highway speeds by falling asleep at the wheel. If I have 9 lives I must have used 7 of them to date. Always wear my seat belt, thankfully. Have a cocaine possession charge pending. Private lawyer, initial offer of 60 days no probation or drug offender probation no jail time. He's pushing for better and I plan to help him. I pretty much spent all my money. I have $1286 and a 2006 Altima with a full tank of gas, high miles but purrs like kitten. Changed the rear hub bearings, oil, wiper blades, inspected the brakes and major bolts. Quitting has not been so hard. I can quit now and have some money and no debt, or I could go deeper and have debt. I have three credit cards with $20,000 worth of credit. I could have squeezed 5 or 6 grand more for drugs and been in a horrible position of debt right now. I have drug test strips coming in the mail, and I'd like to see if my past company can initiate a pre-employment drug screening and provide me with a letter of recommendation so I can provide this to my lawyer for an upcoming hearing. He mentioned a long shot of "deferred judgement" where I pass 4 drug test and the charges are dismissed. I can do all this and get my life together but the emptiness inside me still remains. There are times when I feel so lonely that I feel scared and extremely sad about the future. I am too scared to kill myself buy my ambition and interest in social activities has waned over the years. I've isolated myself and no amount of talk from others can penetrate my feelings. This I suspect is the core probable. Quitting is a start, but is no viable long term solution. I seem to have cycles of success and failure. I've came out of work release in the past in NY (in Fl now) started at $9.50 in a paper warehouse, received 7 raises in 2 1/2 years up to $15.75 /hr as a freight checker/cdl driver, bought a house and rehabbed it from top to bottom. Put $11,000 grand in it, earned $12,000 in OT my first year. Had a 401K, But when all the tools went away and the house was in great condidtion I sought other motivation, bought a GSX-R750. Bad move, crack on wheels. After around 12 cop chases topping 165 mph (had sprocked conversion) I sold the bike 'cause it's too late when I'm flying through the air at 120+ mph. Immediately after that I relapsed, a hard and long one. Drove a 12,000 gasoline tanker for a week straight high with no sleep. 9 lives, baby. I've been clean for 5 or 6 days now. Eating well always force myself to got out for a 3.2 mile bike ride around the community. I am blessed to have the support of my parents. I live with them in a gated country club community. I pay no rent and they buy my food now. In the past I would have spent all my money and went into debt by utilizing thousands of dollars of cash advances from my credit cards. I'm 46 and been through this process many times before. At the bottom of it all I have to face my fears and dissatisfaction with life. counting your blessing can help. I've done it and it helps foster gratitude and a sense of well-being. I have vivid dreams of impending doom now. Kept me up to 2:00 am upon which I took a Soma. I also have Klonopin 2 mg. I don't take them every day but they can help a great deal. Did some research. According to the Mayo Clinic Diazipam is detectable in urine but Klonopin needs a specific test for it. Only 2% goes through your urine, the rest through your liver. Self reports from boards say people take Klonopin on a regular basis but it does not show up on a benzo screening. Most say it is out of your system in 3 to 5 days depending on usage. I don't use it daily. Aside from the depression and emptiness that comes and goes, quitting has not been that hard. I made a full commitment with no reservations. I've found out when you truly believe there is no option of using the drug the addiction losses all of it's power, but the minute you admit the possibility of using it grows in strength like the hulk. No matter how many years clean it can come back at any time and seize you by the limbic system to commender your thought processes. I've studied neural science in prison, the real deal, Kandel and Swarts Principle of Neural science. My receptors have been diminished due to the artificial influx of external binding agents/cocaine. The packets that hold the transmitters for well being have been reduced, as well. If I think of using there is a feedforward theory that suggest the expectations of an influx of drugs that will disrupt your system must be countered promptly. Therefore, henceforth processes will be initiated to counter the high that is expected to come in the name of homostasis. But it doesn't come, it was only a thought. Now a person can feel depressed and crave the drug. Nonetheless, the underlying process is were it's at. To each his own. This has been a portion of my experience. As Rush would say, "If I could wave my magic wand I'd set everybody free."
+michael m thank you so much for sharing!
I spent 10 years clean n two years ago I relasped. I'm finding it hard to over come my addiction this time.
I know what would help me more than anything for someone out there to give me a break with a job not any job a career. This is what is missing from' my life! Any one out there. Please answer me n I'll speak private to you. Kindest regards Dan
I hope you are able to find that career you are looking for! Keep fighting! Thank you so much for the comment, please keep in touch, and please Subscribe if you haven’t gotten the chance!

Thank you bro,bless you and your future..
Little bit about my story. I grew up in a very/normal happy family, I had so much potential even at 8 years, i could downhill ski relatively confident by. I was 6 , very sporty, 100 m sprinter and long jumper, The Aust. Taekwondo Demonstration team. And my world was my oyster. I was even selected to partake in the Sydney 2000 Olympics Opening ceremony.
During highschool (boys private), I had heaps of friends both male and female from other private girls schools. When I was 15. 2 “school mates” said they had a 10er(0.5)g of pot, who he brought into my parents house to smoke, whilst they were at work for the day. I loved the pot, but my mate was more into amphetamine (base), XTC, Raves etc and I chose to get involved in that drug culture scene from say 15-21 year. They were the good times.
Bad times came when I was using alcohol to control my anxiety. At a retail place i was working, this creepy/Pedo, 48 years “outa jail type” worked along side me. He couldn’t help himself and at work, he stuck his hand down the back of my pants from behind and said “Ihought you like to be tickled down there and was in shock as he was a coworker. I told management, they said to get over it he was just mucking about and left it from there. This really made me angry that I would of lost my job if I had knocked the asshole out. But chose to do what one would think was the right thing and make a formal complaint. Where is was seen as a joke and I was angry, what If I did that to a female staffer type thing
I started to get really angry, wanted to hurt the guy etc. but didn’t want to destroy my life at the same time. This when drugs changed the plot, alcohol,,weed etc. to Codeine, Vodka, Heroin(x2)22yr, Oxys. Ive been on suboxone twice before, countless heavy psych meds, GHB, methadone.
If I had cupped Steven Giannes on the balls immediately, If I didn’t fuck my life up by eventually assaulting the guy with a dangerous weapon landed me inside prison for up to 4 years, but I was put through the public mental health system, ,,,, Ive sooo much thit bratha most will not believe the behaviour of nursing staff, doctors and prescribers of methadone.
BTW; My doctor prescribed Ativan yesterday for the discomfort, for 2 weeks only! It really helps ALOT, there is no restlessness, the neuropathic pain in hands is muffled and I managed to get my fist 4hr sleep.... Down side i look like Lurch and cant do much physical activity
Early Morning Rant. Lol
