26 years clean!Losing all my mates and then my own brother who was only 27 was the straw that broke the camels back for me! I would rather put a gun to my head than relapse. All the grief and bad mistakes I made whilst using is enough for me not to relapse or even think about relapsing into my old ways! Stay strong Yammy and always stay safe!
Dude I fell a few times, when Jesus sets you free you will be totally free! It's been 15 years on the out without a drop! All grace! Will be praying for you bro 🙏

I learned long ago Yammy smoking that ting you have to give a lot and it takes a whole lot more, we have to work out what its worth to ourselves on a personal level Yammy... much love! Part of the addiction is the sneaky bit the build up, sneaky about, dodging bullets with this one and that one... does settle down over time but have to put the graft in same as putting the graft in with using... take work Yammy being clean... massive respect lad you're loved 💯❤
Yams your an interesting guy that's why I watch you. I've been clean for 20ish years but I know I'm still an addict man. Your a man who has been there and done it, you got my respect for staying sane bro. I watch you because you make me smile and cheer me up. I've got chronic liver disease from having HEP c for 15 years. Most my good mates are dead . Keep going strong mate.
@@yammybtv didn't realize you was here too. I got my Mr Magoo eyes in effect. Sam, mate they been dropping like flies. Think of all them you've probably bit when it was 7 out 10 had it back round my time at m Mad Yam.. we r blessed
That's the general census " once an addict always an addict" When in reality that's not true,if you carry on labeling yourself as an addict then your brain will come to accept that! When we change our habits they should be water under the bridge,you should always tell yourself I'm over this and I am fully recovered! Let me give you an example, if you murdered a few people and ended up doing a very long stretch in prison,you wouldn't finish that sentence and rehabilitate yourself to come out and say I will always be a murderer. If you thought that you would never get out of prison! And if you did think that you could possibly murder again it wouldn't be fair to let you back on the streets! So in order not to relapse into old ways is to accept that you have changed and keep telling yourself you have recovered and always remind yourself of the outcome! I've been clean for 27 years not once have I relapsed or even thought of relapsing. The reasons for giving up drugs in the beginning should be the same reasons that steers you away from them!
Yammy wishing the best for you. The fact that you're so honest and open draws people who don't know you personally to your channel. It takes bravery to be so honest and open about your life.
Best wishes bro and your 100% right..as a 24 year addict myself i can guarantee we dont fully ever recover..we just have to learn to live without our drug of choice because even when we are doing well we end up self sabotaging because the same issues that caused us to smoke gear or drink or lick crack or whatever are the same issues that come back and tell us that when we are doing well we dont deserve it..our brains can be our very worst nightmares bro..anyways from one struggling addict to another i feel your pain bro and i really felt this video..it hit me hard about the broken men and the suffering and thinking we can manage then it all goes pear shaped...real talk bro and im really happy your starting to feel better...one love bro 💚🙏🙌
Alcohol for a addict is always dipping the little toe back into other things but we all walk our own paths in life your a strong man uncle uv got a strong head on your shoulders stay strong and use that head you've got on your shoulders to be stronger 💪
Good to hear your ok Yammy. The problem is brother sometimes we get so well we forget we are sick and that’s when the ego sets in and the illness grabs us 🙏🏼💙🙏🏼💙
That’s soooo true you don’t really recover. An alcoholic is always an alcoholic. And what ever you were doing you will always be that. You just got to be strong minded and say enough is enough. You got this look what you’ve been through and made it through those prison years. Take care and much love ❤️ from America 🇺🇸
All we need to know is that you've not left us just yet Sammy, so let's get back to it my friend. " JUST FOR TODAY " can come back there's no rush my friend. 💯 respect Sammy ..
16 years of slipping and sliding Now almost 7.5 years clean and sober The only way I got clean was a 12 step program, friends went back using are now dead or doing years in prison, we're never fully recovered we only have a daily reprieve, my program got me through prison and kept me clean... Wish you all the best in the future Yammy, love your podcasts, you keep it real, love and peace ✌❤
The best way to get through a craving is to delay it, so you say to yourself "I'm not going to use today but I will tomorrow" and you do the same thing the next day and the next... worked for me anyway 😉 Yammy, thanks for this video, I have always been interested in the longfella, you must have met Jimmy Holmes who wrote the book you mentioned ? Any views on Jimmy ? I've never been involved in crime and don't pretend to but I'm fascinated by the stories and tales. Take care mate.
I can relate with you about addiction,my drug of choice is alcohol but the point you made about hiding it from loved ones is so so true.When you've got the devil in your back,it's tunnel vision,nothing else matters but you must love your family simply because you try to hide it,but truth be told........they know,they ain't daft and know the signs.You need to focus fella,it only ends one way of you don't arrest the urges.The way I see it is it only ends one way.....Just look at Paul Sykes demise...chin up and stand tall you'll be ok fella they are just setbacks not mistakes....
Great to see you back yammy, we are all vulnerable at one time or another and some more than others, surround yourself with real friends and people with a positive attitude, keep popping up and stay happy with yourself
As we know when things are going well can be the most dangerous time's for our addictions to creep in... Big well done for getting back on track... Enjoying your video's Yammy, relate to the mindset and know lot of people you've mentioned. Keep it coming but most of all try and stay clean... Think you'll av some great things to come. Good luck and keep punching mate! 👊👊👊
So happy to see you alive an well Yammy B, heart dropped few days ago hearing you passed away, but thank God Almighty your fit an still living well!!! Amen 💯🙏😎🦋🐝🔥🔥🔥🔥
Its not easy Yammy, Especially for someone who has spent that much time behind the door and maybe is struggling to adjust to a life on the outside. Keep fighting 💪💯😊 you are doing great.
Afternoon I feel you yammy B I just fell back into it after four years but my heads always out of the door you got this keep fighting respect from South Wales valleys 🏴🙏👍 oh also it's the struggle that keeps us alive
@@yammybtv yeah yammy I'm trying this sober shit I had four years clean off hard shit then got back into it I hate to admit it but I love drugs drink trouble mischief I know its awful but as Bruce Springsteen said in the song blinded by the light. My mother always told me not to look into the sun 🌞 but that's where the fun is mum ... Respect from South Wales valleys 🏴 yammy B
If you ain't struggling you ain't living. Life isn't fair mate, it was never meant to be. What's important is you got back on the horse uncle. Your always gonna be in recovery and that's OK 👍🏻 love you brother.
YAMMY YOU'RE PROPER HONEST AND TRUTHFUL SINCERE BACK IN THE DAY GONE NOW 🙏🙏 TODAY IS ANOTHER DAY KEEP ON TELLING IT AS IT IS KEEP ON ROLLING ON TALKING POSITIVE VICTOR RESPECT ❤️🙏
Respect Yammy, you done your time and your trying, no one can ask for anything more, you don’t need to explain yourself no more, everyone can see that your trying, take it easy bruv.
Yes Yammy through research our brains are wired differently and they say it's in the jeans going back generations.You no every time we relapse we have to learn from it and move on ok. Your right we are in recovery for the rest of our lives. One love
After I nearly died from an OD the last conscious thought I had was "wow, that was a knock and a half" and then next thing I'm waking up from being code blue with 2 paramedics and 2 old bill stood over me. I realised it wouldn't have made any difference to me if I died as i wouldn'thave known anythingmore about it but it's the people who love you it hurts and that was an eye opener
I od woke up in hospital discharged myself then went out and scored and done another hit that's insanity, you look after ya self I've still got one foot in and one out🙏🙏🙏
dont have to be a big man yammy i was well known in my city as a lunatic thats best left alone but not no big man but i find it very hard to live with myself since i stopped partying and not giving a toss as soberness and time has mellowed e and made me regret a lot im in turmoil inside and people just think nah hes ok he strong minded been through all kinds with a smile on his face as you now yammy it a charade but lots people with bad pasts suffer with bad regret and find it hard to live with who you were not just those at top i spent 10 years in nicks
Brother love your channel big respect for everything you’ve overcome. I’ve suffered addiction my whole life and you never get over it once an addict always an addict you just learn to deal with it in the best way you can. It’s an illness of the mind where as Adickes with her erratic and we use drugs and alcohol to slow down our crazy thinking and obsessive behaviour. Much love. Chris gibson.
well done on your detox, dont be too hard on yourself over a relapse, part of recovery/recovering im still trying to get a day it is a good idea to get to meetings though
Hey Samson what’s done is done, just make sure the next time you are feeling weak that you call someone. We all love you and most of us are here for you. If you want to go and visit anyone at the weekends call me and I will take you, I can drop you off if you prefer and collect you when your ready Big loves my beautiful friend ❤️
Oh my god the stuff you're saying some of it myself I realised this year and I'm in my forties please take me to now to also realise that you don't ever get better I can see the tears in your eyes when you say it it's almost like discovering at the same time weird. Youll always carry all that s*** and other certain people will never ever let you forget it, I wish you the best of luck my man. I keep scoring that little bit, going payday junkie. We I have paid most of our lives yet it seems life isn't finished without yet
Over 10 years clean bro and I’m a lot younger than you ! I’m a baby 41! Places people and things! The old saying if you hang around a barber you will get a haircut! I’ve had to blank people to stay well! I got married and have a better life now but you are right! We never recover! We will fight a battle for the rest of our lives to stay clean and healthy! The devil is always sitting on our shoulder! We have to do what we have to to ignore him! Godspeed fella! Remember we are just human and none of us are perfect! Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪! Stay strong brother!
Had a great rehab officer called Jocelyn at a spot call the Neutral Zone, and was lucky to have a proper good Probation officer at the time... I don't really like the label thing but found had a lot in common with squadies who were diagnosed with PTSD. That life man, you have said before am sure, how stressful it is, always over your shoulder, waiting for the door to get banged in by one firm or another. Just got to take it one day at a time Yammy. Looking back is always easier than looking forward but got to change that mindset and start to look forward brother. One day at a time, an hour at a time, even a minute at a time. And be grateful for life. Most of us have done better than pals who haven't got to our years. Be blessed Yammy! One love and all that good stuff x
Yammy mate extremely pleased your ok, I am going to say this in a good way I wondered if you was dabbling as in one of your videos you never looked the same. You have to be strong in many ways yammy however associations if it be people you know or places you go in order to turn your back on it totally take your self out of your comfort zone mate, I wanna hear good vibes from you soon, would love to hear how you have met new friends who don’t judge your pass etc , and you can complete the man you are
I'm an addict and ways will be myself so u no what it's like i havef fuked up big time before your a brilliant story teller all your stories are always interesting and i can tell your real just keep videos coming your helping people just by your videos if you don't realise it stay strong mate you will get there
Hello yammy, don’t beat your self up to much about the slip up mate, it’s all part of the journey, your back on the right side of the road mate, beating your self about it will do no good at all, it’s happened your ok thank god, and your now back on the road to recovery with a little relapse under your belt, that makes you wiser than somebody who hasn’t got a relapse under the belt, all the best xxxx
Respect for coming on and saying what you said mate, but really no need, we all are addicts one way or the other, CIGGIES, BEER, COKE, WEED, etc who are we too judge you👍 really enjoyed that story mate and yeah he ends up sounding like a James Bond villain 🙄!?!
From it all my brother your an honest open man and will enhance your already self learned wisdom. You own everything you do and speak from a good place. Your one of a handful pal with your authentic ways yammy. These gossip mongers are shocking brother and so sorry the pain that would have caused you and your family. Your proper genuine yammy brother and never shy from truth. Your aware of life on its own terms.You have the best morning uncle yammy great seeing u on the yammy train again brother⭐️💯💎you will and are adjusting bro and still looked on for what you are Real, compassionate truthful with knowledge & living proof of transition and certainly living proof of #Inspiration for me yammy. You know bro, you have a deep insight into self & will keep rising above the hurdles u face. You owe no apologies bro, your human and you hurt like anyone else yammy, your an amazing character. Peace love and light for yammy paths this morning 🙏✌️❤️
Glad your doing good yammy,,, it’s simple . Do the meetings , put the work in you won’t relapse….that’s a fact… message understood about the other lot 😂😇🙏
People that run off with money and parcells are as bad as grassing really it causes lots of people lots of problems worse than getting nicked. I bet over 60 grand that caused some headache for someone
I believe that after years in jail surrounded by violence mental health …I done years n years swaleside parkhurst etc most of 90s ..and come back in 2000s and the trauma n pain never goes away …and you never recover he’s got it right about that …and unless you’ve done years in hardcore jail n hardcore addiction you’ll never understand …big up Yammy keep talking your truth 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻💯
Thanks 🙏 Marc very deep my boyyy 💯👊🙏the truth will always be that me and you know for as much as Truecrime exists with truth facts and fiction all of those names we talk about are traumatised whether they like it or not 👊👌that road broke everyone in the end❤️
Nothing more admirable than an honest man who can stand up to his shortfalls and recognise why. We forever grow to know..... Love you forever & always Yamz and can't say it enuf Familam, u done know. xxx
Hey Sam, I hope you're we'll. Good days and bad days it's all part of this journey we are on. Keep punching mate. This post was your best one yet. Bang on 💯 percent truth as always. Love and blessings uncle. X
Used after 10y clean my life cudnt have been better… I’m still fighting the battle call me I’m up all night same detox.. we all broken men our pride stops us phoning ppl the pain of wanting and not wanting to use no one nos the pain unless we lived it ❤️
Similar story myself back using 15month clean 3.5 years only started again as someone said if I said I'd give you a bag of b , when we're clean it's just 1 day at a time,
Great talk Yammy and great facts getting told. I'm available anytime for chat but I doubt you will need that mate. Wishing you well and love and blessings. "Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light. " (John Milton).
Hey Uncle, keep up The fight my man, one day at a time, your sounding better, let’s see this year out my boy and make next year a better one pal, take care ✌️❤️
We have been addicted to things for years and years so recovery isn't going to be done with in a short time, it's going to take even longer than the addiction year's, it's going to take the rest of our lives. We in recovery from addiction will always be struggling that's why we need to get stronger from our relapse. I for one have relapsed plenty of times and the struggle continues it never goes u just know how to handle it differently and get through it 👍👍💪💪💪🙏🙏
Is it grasses... Gr8 observation. Any views on ppl who've suffered sexual abuse. I remember you having a very strong opinion on that but I can't quite remember exactly what u said. But it was explosive your thoughts and depth of opinion Hmmm. Where are you by the way Fancy a walk in the jungle ? Or wherever if you're ever at a loose end y kno
❤ regardless of whatever is going on with yammy u can’t but love him and understand him His proper and the stories these stories will never be repeated these days inside The way it was back then was on another level compared to today bird I’m with yammy that the longfella was on a different mountain to the rest Keep strong my freind , and keep these stories alive and going ❤
Yammy it’s your old unknown pal Stevie walker from Aylesbury days I done lots of bird mate and none of that matters now, also done enough gear to kill any man , and none of That matters . What’s matters is step one at this point also keep god in your heart, you are a good spirt never let that spirt die. All it took for me to neatly die was a few pipes and I ended up with a blood clot. I don’t want to die and neither do you. Shine on you crazy diamond from a friend in recovery Weeman of Corby Toon 😮
Im always relapsing mate.... or lapsing or whatever.. One thing I've realised now is that one day sooner luck has to run out just simply on the odds, so take care man

1 day at a time Yammy and don't punish yourself m8. You can do it brother 💪 🙏
Its not easy Yammy,
Especially for someone who has spent that much time behind the door and maybe is struggling to adjust to a life on the outside.
Keep fighting 💪💯😊 you are doing great.
Afternoon I feel you yammy B I just fell back into it after four years but my heads always out of the door you got this keep fighting respect from South Wales valleys 🏴🙏👍 oh also it's the struggle that keeps us alive
Definitely B👊💯
@@yammybtv yeah yammy I'm trying this sober shit I had four years clean off hard shit then got back into it I hate to admit it but I love drugs drink trouble mischief I know its awful but as Bruce Springsteen said in the song blinded by the light. My mother always told me not to look into the sun 🌞 but that's where the fun is mum ... Respect from South Wales valleys 🏴 yammy B
Glad you are alive and well yammy..had a shock on here the other day saying you had died 😢 💔
If you ain't struggling you ain't living. Life isn't fair mate, it was never meant to be. What's important is you got back on the horse uncle. Your always gonna be in recovery and that's OK 👍🏻 love you brother.
💯👊❤️
Amen Samson ....Sending love light strength and blessings 🙏🏻
YAMMY YOU'RE PROPER HONEST AND TRUTHFUL SINCERE BACK IN THE DAY GONE NOW 🙏🙏 TODAY IS ANOTHER DAY KEEP ON TELLING IT AS IT IS KEEP ON ROLLING ON TALKING POSITIVE VICTOR RESPECT ❤️🙏
We always have your back, Uncle Yam! Don't be too hard on yourself
Respect Yammy, you done your time and your trying, no one can ask for anything more, you don’t need to explain yourself no more, everyone can see that your trying, take it easy bruv.
I'm 6 months in recovery but finding it hard and I'm in Longfellow fam xx
Yes Yammy through research our brains are wired differently and they say it's in the jeans going back generations.You no every time we relapse we have to learn from it and move on ok. Your right we are in recovery for the rest of our lives. One love
After I nearly died from an OD the last conscious thought I had was "wow, that was a knock and a half" and then next thing I'm waking up from being code blue with 2 paramedics and 2 old bill stood over me. I realised it wouldn't have made any difference to me if I died as i wouldn'thave known anythingmore about it but it's the people who love you it hurts and that was an eye opener
❤💯
I od woke up in hospital discharged myself then went out and scored and done another hit that's insanity, you look after ya self I've still got one foot in and one out🙏🙏🙏
dont have to be a big man yammy i was well known in my city as a lunatic thats best left alone but not no big man but i find it very hard to live with myself since i stopped partying and not giving a toss as soberness and time has mellowed e and made me regret a lot im in turmoil inside and people just think nah hes ok he strong minded been through all kinds with a smile on his face as you now yammy it a charade but lots people with bad pasts suffer with bad regret and find it hard to live with who you were not just those at top i spent 10 years in nicks
Brother love your channel big respect for everything you’ve overcome. I’ve suffered addiction my whole life and you never get over it once an addict always an addict you just learn to deal with it in the best way you can. It’s an illness of the mind where as Adickes with her erratic and we use drugs and alcohol to slow down our crazy thinking and obsessive behaviour. Much love.
Chris gibson.
Absolutely 💯 Chris but it can be beaten
addiction is like the Hotel California!! you can checkout anytime you like.. but you can never leave
well done on your detox, dont be too hard on yourself over a relapse, part of recovery/recovering
im still trying to get a day
it is a good idea to get to meetings though
Hey Samson what’s done is done, just make sure the next time you are feeling weak that you call someone.
We all love you and most of us are here for you.
If you want to go and visit anyone at the weekends call me and I will take you, I can drop you off if you prefer and collect you when your ready
Big loves my beautiful friend ❤️
Oh my god the stuff you're saying some of it myself I realised this year and I'm in my forties please take me to now to also realise that you don't ever get better I can see the tears in your eyes when you say it it's almost like discovering at the same time weird. Youll always carry all that s*** and other certain people will never ever let you forget it, I wish you the best of luck my man. I keep scoring that little bit, going payday junkie.
We I have paid most of our lives yet it seems life isn't finished without yet
Over 10 years clean bro and I’m a lot younger than you ! I’m a baby 41! Places people and things! The old saying if you hang around a barber you will get a haircut! I’ve had to blank people to stay well! I got married and have a better life now but you are right! We never recover! We will fight a battle for the rest of our lives to stay clean and healthy! The devil is always sitting on our shoulder! We have to do what we have to to ignore him! Godspeed fella! Remember we are just human and none of us are perfect! Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪! Stay strong brother!
Just seen on documentary that you stuck it on bell field fair play man respect
Had a great rehab officer called Jocelyn at a spot call the Neutral Zone, and was lucky to have a proper good Probation officer at the time... I don't really like the label thing but found had a lot in common with squadies who were diagnosed with PTSD. That life man, you have said before am sure, how stressful it is, always over your shoulder, waiting for the door to get banged in by one firm or another. Just got to take it one day at a time Yammy. Looking back is always easier than looking forward but got to change that mindset and start to look forward brother. One day at a time, an hour at a time, even a minute at a time. And be grateful for life. Most of us have done better than pals who haven't got to our years. Be blessed Yammy! One love and all that good stuff x
I don't know Samson But going by the pods He doesn't look over his shoulder or worry about the door going in 🙏✌️
Talking past tense, and acknowledging that it may not just be addiction Ron, but then again maybe I'm just chatting bollox. 🥱
@@UKCheeseFarmer no
You made some fair points 🙏
🙏❤️😇
Yammy mate extremely pleased your ok, I am going to say this in a good way I wondered if you was dabbling as in one of your videos you never looked the same. You have to be strong in many ways yammy however associations if it be people you know or places you go in order to turn your back on it totally take your self out of your comfort zone mate, I wanna hear good vibes from you soon, would love to hear how you have met new friends who don’t judge your pass etc , and you can complete the man you are
Respect yammy your a good man with a massive heart god bless you brother
I'm an addict and ways will be myself so u no what it's like i havef fuked up big time before your a brilliant story teller all your stories are always interesting and i can tell your real just keep videos coming your helping people just by your videos if you don't realise it stay strong mate you will get there
Hello yammy, don’t beat your self up to much about the slip up mate, it’s all part of the journey, your back on the right side of the road mate, beating your self about it will do no good at all, it’s happened your ok thank god, and your now back on the road to recovery with a little relapse under your belt, that makes you wiser than somebody who hasn’t got a relapse under the belt, all the best xxxx
Respect for coming on and saying what you said mate, but really no need, we all are addicts one way or the other, CIGGIES, BEER, COKE, WEED, etc who are we too judge you👍 really enjoyed that story mate and yeah he ends up sounding like a James Bond villain 🙄!?!
Lol 😂 my boyyyy Dave kaiser soza
@@yammybtv yeah 🤣🤣👏
From it all my brother your an honest open man and will enhance your already self learned wisdom. You own everything you do and speak from a good place. Your one of a handful pal with your authentic ways yammy. These gossip mongers are shocking brother and so sorry the pain that would have caused you and your family. Your proper genuine yammy brother and never shy from truth. Your aware of life on its own terms.You have the best morning uncle yammy great seeing u on the yammy train again brother⭐️💯💎you will and are adjusting bro and still looked on for what you are Real, compassionate truthful with knowledge & living proof of transition and certainly living proof of #Inspiration for me yammy. You know bro, you have a deep insight into self & will keep rising above the hurdles u face. You owe no apologies bro, your human and you hurt like anyone else yammy, your an amazing character. Peace love and light for yammy paths this morning 🙏✌️❤️
Another great one, I wish you all the best in your recovery.
Glad your doing good yammy,,, it’s simple . Do the meetings , put the work in you won’t relapse….that’s a fact… message understood about the other lot 😂😇🙏
People that run off with money and parcells are as bad as grassing really it causes lots of people lots of problems worse than getting nicked. I bet over 60 grand that caused some headache for someone
Stay with it brother know doubt you will come out on top I’ve had a setback to no more steps for 6 months
I believe that after years in jail surrounded by violence mental health …I done years n years swaleside parkhurst etc most of 90s ..and come back in 2000s and the trauma n pain never goes away …and you never recover he’s got it right about that …and unless you’ve done years in hardcore jail n hardcore addiction you’ll never understand …big up Yammy keep talking your truth 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻💯
Thanks 🙏 Marc very deep my boyyy 💯👊🙏the truth will always be that me and you know for as much as Truecrime exists with truth facts and fiction all of those names we talk about are traumatised whether they like it or not 👊👌that road broke everyone in the end❤️
Nothing more admirable than an honest man who can stand up to his shortfalls and recognise why.
We forever grow to know.....
Love you forever & always Yamz and can't say it enuf Familam, u done know. xxx

😂❤️😇definitely sam
We have been addicted to things for years and years so recovery isn't going to be done with in a short time, it's going to take even longer than the addiction year's, it's going to take the rest of our lives. We in recovery from addiction will always be struggling that's why we need to get stronger from our relapse. I for one have relapsed plenty of times and the struggle continues it never goes u just know how to handle it differently and get through it 👍👍💪💪💪🙏🙏
Keep doing what you're doing genuine true video's its refreshing to see someone being honest
God bless ya yam you will be ok an always honest with ya journey love ya ❤️
I found people that don't go T Total end up losing it even more when they do relapse.
Is it grasses... Gr8 observation.
Any views on ppl who've suffered sexual abuse. I remember you having a very strong opinion on that but I can't quite remember exactly what u said. But it was explosive your thoughts and depth of opinion
Hmmm. Where are you by the way
Fancy a walk in the jungle ?
Or wherever if you're ever at a loose end y kno
❤ regardless of whatever is going on with yammy u can’t but love him and understand him
His proper and the stories these stories will never be repeated these days inside
The way it was back then was on another level compared to today bird
I’m with yammy that the longfella was on a different mountain to the rest
Keep strong my freind , and keep these stories alive and going ❤
Full of insights today Yammy the second coming is better than the first.
Never beat yourself up over a relapse,it’s a blip,that’s all
Proud of your honesty sam 👏 ❤
Yammy it’s your old unknown pal Stevie walker from Aylesbury days
I done lots of bird mate and none of that matters now, also done enough gear to kill any man , and none of That matters . What’s matters is step one at this point also keep god in your heart, you are a good spirt never let that spirt die.
All it took for me to neatly die was a few pipes and I ended up with a blood clot. I don’t want to die and neither do you.
Shine on you crazy diamond from a friend in recovery
Weeman of Corby Toon 😮
