That's it . I'm done. Needed to see this video at this stage. Been addicted to destruction for far too long . Thankyou paul, I'll try my best. Family forever ❤
I wish I had these meetings when I got clean 20 years ago. Really struggling now with mental health it's just has hard to fight this. But one thing about recovery is you become good at the fighting. This is just the next chapter. Stay strong everyone.
Same here pal, no NA or AA when I straightened up. People have more chance of getting clean now. One thing I have noticed though, rehab seems to keep you with the idea that you are always going to be in recovery. I feel like I beat my demons and now I'm an ex addict. It's an unusual mind set to believe you will always be the man you were yesterday. I know I'm not.
One of the hardest things about addiction is seeing the places u used to get onit or them faces u used to get onit with can even be a good mate or a pub
Been there myself Paul, I was on gear for over 25 years mate. I can relate to almost everything you've just said, crack is a very naughty drug it takes away everything that's good or positive in life. I was addicted to both crack and heroin, then methadone which was every bit as bad as the heroin if not worse, certainly more difficult to get off as the withdrawals are more extreme. Thankfully I've been clean now for about five years but the temptation of that pipe is always still there.
Well done to you, Paul. Btw It was nice seeing that video of your daughter you put up. I bet that family unit keeps you going. Your daughter is a very beautiful little girl. Keep up the good work, big man.
Thanks for this Paul I 2 am a recovering Alcoholic and drug addict. Responsibility and accountability are now my most used words. I'd love to speak to you sir our story is so similar
BRILLIANT paul.....you have been honest of what grug u was takin..I'm 46 dont live far away frm mboro.. I'm yorkshire..I still struggle abit...put what u have just said on here is brilliant..the fifht side I only skim over coz I candle handle myself so it not new..but I've really changed my tune on u for. Been so honest..take care
First time I have heard you talk about your past paul 🙏 bless mate you are the best person to be able to talk and tell these kids how bad and where it all ends up .. God bless paul keep up the good work 🙏❤
I think if you really want the help it is there, you first have to face the fact you are an addict but more importantly if you put as much effort into participating in meetings as you would have done say trying to score during a "dry spell" you won't go far wrong brother. Shout out to your mum she sounds an inspiration !!
I’ve never suffered with addiction well maybe gambling but still being the last fool at party’s and carrying on when everyone had stopped and your story’s so familiar but so glad I came across you pal
Paul, godspeed......your openess is inspiring.....a little lost for words as i connect with every single point you make.....but still striving to follow through.......keep posting boss.......it helps us.👌🖐👐
I was brought up anti drugs, then had a bad accident, broke both my femur when i was 19. In hospital I was on epidural in my spine and had morphine on tap through a blue machine/dispenser. Then when i learned to walk and left hospital i was on liquid morphine and dihydracodeine, since then ive battled addiction. Ive had 7 years clean, relapsed, now on 1year clean. I know its gping to be a battle til i die
I just love honesty I'm sure you understand it's important in certain circumstances not many make it as we pay a high price for our poor choices and the sad part is we don't see at the time we have to mess up often so we learn
You know what always makes me laugh Paul, people who sniff coke and slag crack/heroin addicts off. I know many a man who were and still are undercover pipe fiends lol Thanks mate relate to the struggle and Insanity ❤
Yeah I can 💯 resonate with this story m8. your mind and body looks strong and healthy now and your on right path. Ego is the killer of us all. I me self have done drugs since 13 on and off. Never full addiction but as the British life style is there is drink and coke round every corner and my binges where heavy also. But it was effecting family and my business at times. So been fully clean for 1 year now and I would never be going back to it, held me head high and said to every one I’m done with pubs and party’s and dnt invite me. Was hard a first but now life is just bliss. I think also m8 that lads like us are not build for this society we were properly worriers in past life and would done well in the older day. This way of living is not true to us and this is why people are forever numbing there selfs even if it’s with lots of coffee, sugar, takeaways… I honestly think people like that dumb down feeling to hide the true
Great to hear this can relate a lot..god bless ya don't go off UA-cam again mate..I'm an alcoholic in recovery over 3 years sober now best decision I ever made..just a quick question mate being in narcotics anonymous does that mean alcohol is out of bounds aswell as alcohol was also a gateway for other substances for myself just always been curious as as I only attended A.A myself but I imagine it's total abstinence the same as myself 👍🏻
I never got on with the false pedeler the Na message was jaundice in Leicester last time I went the main weknd meeting the main guy was asking me to score for him I was so messed up by it but as it you I will try again
Mate are lifes sound a lot like but the only difference is no thing working for me I may not be as bad now ..but still doing but shit ..am me I mate I believe people are born with it

Never full addiction but as the British life style is there is drink and coke round every corner and my binges where heavy also.

So been fully clean for 1 year now and I would never be going back to it, held me head high and said to every one I’m done with pubs and party’s and dnt invite me. Was hard a first but now life is just bliss.
I think also m8 that lads like us are not build for this society we were properly worriers in past life and would done well in the older day.
