Bummer. Had a similar experience once with a guy I knew who had a massive win on the lotto. He left his wife, bought himself a sports car, bought a shop and went on a bender. He disappeared and I seen him 3 years later, on O'Connell Street bridge with a paper cup in his hand. I almost felt sorry for him....almost.

Wow, talk about mixing the good with the bad :eek:

Some people just don't know what to do with money when they have it. Poor impulse control/will power by him it seems. People don't get to stay at the top by p!ssing it all away

I've obviously never tried gear, but it must seriously fúck you up. I cut contact with him while he was an addict, because he threatened to stab me (and was sincere about it!), but he can't remember anything about his time as a junkie. He contacted me 6 months after he got clean to apologise for 'whatever I did to you because I know I must have done something for you to cut contact with me and I never meant to hurt you but I can't remember.' It's nice now though. He's doing great for himself and is back to his old self, acting like a protective big brother to me.

Jeez fair play to him, takes a lot of dedication to make the full walk back up the road. Can't have been easy for him.

Meh, sounds like the wife and kids were better off without him if that was his way :rolleyes:

Yeah, he was a piss head anyway, gave them nothing but abuse. So yeah, they were MUCH better off.

I love this thread , it has to be the most random thread it can go from tattoos, alcohol, films,music, serious issues such as junkies, day to day stuff and even after all that never any heated arguments :cool:.

Yeah this is probably the coolest social thread I've used on boards. Probably why it's the only one I really use regularly anymore. :pac:

FoxyVixen

Honestly this is really one of the more level headed threads on boards

Followed it for awhile before posting waiting for something to rear its ugly head, but nope, not here

Even the same advice that's given out every week isn't thrown out in CAPS in a wearisome manner. Some other forums could take a bit of heed from that!!

Whatever about being a pisshead thats doing yourself damage, but being abusive towards kids and women is just unforgivable really.

I didn't post here that much either. Like Foxy Vixen, I was watching. I did post in other forums but it's gotten out of hand now (for different reasons) and I don't bother so much. So I spend most of my time here. (When not posting/moderating on other sites.)

FoxyVixen

should we start "waving" at the new lurkers and invite them in to get them to start posting

You love me really.

I jumped pretty much straight in, tbh. I started by posting an intro in the intro thread, followed by a tatt pic in the show me yours thread, followed a few days later by Marty finding me on another site from that tattoo pic, he was lovely and sweet, so I decided to post in here. AND I WAS HORRIFIED. :pac:

I'll set up a live stream and flash any new man, and wave nice shoes at any new woman. I'm sure it'll work. :pac:

I know she's not real and all, but I had a complete girl-crush on her as a child, despite being straight. :pac:

In fairness I think the world did

Marty McFly

Yeh she was in the same bracket as Sgt Callahan in Police Academy used to love to watch her, then came along Pamela Anderson running on the beach she was the one who made it click in the head :pac:.

Love that films though, still looks good even to this day.

I'm the same with big, active threads but with this one I find you can just jump in whenever. Maybe check the last couple of posts to see what's going on.
