Wasn't too hard, but clearly I have no off button. I just want to be normal. Not gonna happen though I guess. This withdrawal is fucking brutal mind. Thanks for all your kind words. Going to go to my mums now. Don't want the kids see me like this. 1 day at a time bud, one step at a time, you have admitted the problem which is the biggest step so you’re on your way. Careers change and new opportunities open so let go of the despair. This is hard because despair is strong and it likes a host, let hope of a future help. Remember hope defeats despair and not just the squid variety.❤️❤️❤️ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The daughters are 25 and 28, and wanker boy is 26 so I'm assuming he was maybe the partner of one of the lasses. They were the family of some racing dude from the BBC apparently. Poor bloke. The number of women killed by absolute bellend blokes in this country. Yeah, he was always on sky sports racing, the presenter on the show today nearly broke down as he was talking about it live on sky sports racing just now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of women killed by absolute bellend blokes in this country. It's just round the corner from where I used to live so there's some chatter going on with people I know who still live there. The suggestion is it's the ex-boyfriend of the younger daughter and he's tied them up and killed them with a crossbow. Fucking horrendous. As you say the poor bloke has gone from having a loving wife and daughters to fuck all because of some mad cunt angry with the world. Not the first time a crossbow has been used in recent years. How are these things still unlicenced weapons that anyone can seemingly get hold of?! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now got the worst withdrawals ever. I am such a shit. This is hell in Earth. Hope I make it through. Guess I can't drink after all. Sorry for all the people I have hurt. Going to quit, again. Sorry to hear this mate. I echo what the others have said but beyond that sincerely hope you manage to settle things down over the next few days. You're much loved man. You'll make it to the other side. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 37175 Posted July 10, 2024 Share Posted July 10, 2024 @Renton Saw your post earlier just as I was going back from my break. Nothing much more I can add to what everybody else has, the drink you'll sort out in the long run, (you've already made great strides), I just hope your family see you fighting this off and the missus can come to terms with it being just a lapse in your recovery and welcome you back in. Work should support you so fuck them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 14819 Posted July 10, 2024 Share Posted July 10, 2024 Can’t say much more, Rents but you’ve come through worse before and you can do it again. Don’t be beating yourself up over one trip on a long road. Also, the personal argument with the wife is probably tearing you apart but everything will be very raw at the minute and I’m sure things will calm down in time and she’ll speak to you about everything. And I agree with HMHM about work, you owe them fuck all. Hopefully, if you feel comfortable telling them about everything, they’ll have a good duty of care with you 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also fucked up at work. I am in despair. I'm a fucking idiot. ah man, sorry to hear this mate. the fact you know you messed up is a good sign. don't beat yourself up too much though. alcoholism is a disease and you've suffered a relapse. it doesn't undo the positive changes you have already made in your life. keep your chin up and keep posting on here, if you feel it helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still relatively new here so don’t know if this is a thing you’ve been trying to address for years or if this is all new to you but I hope and believe you can get through it.

thebrokendoll 10568 Posted July 12, 2024 Share Posted July 12, 2024 (edited) rats..... I keep seeing one in the garden, emerges from under the shed, also some old decking and off under a hedge to another shed. probably highly unlikely there's just the one little fucker but by the same token I don't think I'm quite in need of the pied piper just yet. anyway, seems the best starting point is making the environment less habitable for them, ie tidying the garden uo, it had been neglected for several years. I'm getting there but it's gonna be very expensive and time consuming. as a quick fix I'm loathe to use poison, I don't want to endanger birds, my dog or next doors 2 cats. so I'm looking at buying an air rifle, probably 2nd hand. longshot I know but any of you fine gentlemen had a similar problem and got any recommendations of what make of gun is a good one as well as affordable?

I started clearing a huge pile of fallen willow branches which had been dumped on the periphery of the garden. found a rats nest in there with 5 babies abou 2 inches long, I bashed the little fuckers with a spade, was hoping that might sorted the problem, but it appears they've moved under the shed instead.

Gemmill 51244 Posted July 12, 2024 Share Posted July 12, 2024 You can get humane traps for them. Get one of them, catch it, and drive it to the edge of town First Blood style and tell it to keep walking or the next trap won't be quite so humane. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 11348 Posted July 12, 2024 Share Posted July 12, 2024 Instead of tidying your garden, why not toss waste into a neighbours? Then it's their problem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
