Hey homie, me and the fan are coming up to Stone Mountain for my daughters dance competition the weekend after next. I would LOVE. To get together for a sandwich, or a beer, or a margarita... whatever you're good with. If you will be available I'd be happy to hang out for a few or whatever. Lmk if you have any availability. She competes at the Highland games.

We seriously need to link up. You're my boy Blue....


Maybe we can get ThaVirus to meet up with us also. Before the season ends PLEASE!!

sounds good just PM me when we get closer - a few days prior - :)

Mos def bro. Hope we can link up this go round.

I gave up my fight against booze when I was 29. Got all the help I could. I was lucky that I never was good at anything or successful in the real world. That made t easier to just do what doctors and theropists wanted me to do. I am still constantly fighting bi-polor and depression, and I recently went through a two year depression that was God awful. The worst. I wanted to die but I think you go to hell if you kill yourself so I keep on making my appointments and trying different things. The other day I was talking to my doctor about constantly losing jobs now because of my mental health. He reminded me that I go through more in a day than 99 percent of the population. I am not pissed off at God or anything I just try to go to depression forums and help. You definitely have to take it as it comes.

So glad you were able to see there was something wrong. Losing a child is the worst thing anyone can go through. Bless up to you and your family.

hang in there bud. I'm always here if you need anyone to talk to.

You sound like an excellent candidate for relapse. Let us know when it happens so we can enjoy it too.

:rolleyes:

For the 5th year, I've made a birthday cake and held my kids as they sang/cried happy birthday to their dead father.

Stop it.

Except forgiveness and be done. NO MORE BAGGAGE!

Weird that your brain doesn't direct action based on pleasure and pain like normal folks. That might not be a "disease" in the classic sense, but it's anomalous and definitely a condition.

I got sober 14 years ago about an hour before I died. I don't care whether it's a disease or no, or whether someone thinks I'm a pussy or not. Long term recovery happens when you get humble enough to tap out regardless, not because you somehow got tougher.

I must be fairly lucky. I have a very addictive personality because once I find a hobby I like it starts to consume me a little bit. Reading, Golf, video games, lifting, ping pong and poker. Every one was very difficult to quit, except poker which I love, while I understand I must be somewhat addicted to it. The good news is i put in the work from the start to be able to earn money doing it and it turned into a 2nd income. Im sure if i lost at the game i suspect i would have quit by now.

But Im lucky I do not have the substance addiction gene. I believe in it. Its ruined a couple of family members and friends lives. Ive seen it. I personally cant understand it. Being drunk and then hung over all the time is exhausting and alot of work. I stopped cigarettes cold turkey due to the cost. Never could figure out the appeal of weed and why ppl do it all the time. Cocaine & amphetamines are great but when I was younger went on benders and never really felt the need to continue after. Loved energy drinks but then found out what they were doing & could do to my body and just quit. I really think it must be genetic because any addictive substance is super easy to quit for some and literally impossible for others

Well it's been 18 years, I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you.

I just lost a dear family friend. He was 22 years old. He dabbled into something he shouldn't have and it cost him dearly.

The man bent over backwards for anyone he held near and dear, and that is something truly hard to find nowadays.

Pills are the worst.
