Derry Alli Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Folk that are booze free and don't feel the need to tell everyone all the time are the only ones who are "truly" happy. I haven't ate liquorice since I was 4 but I don't feel everyone has to know this all the time, why? Because it's my choice. And it's shite - that's 26 years now, btw. Neither are an achievement, get on with your life ffs. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wrecks lives, families etc. It’s an addictive drug and one that consumed me for about 25 years. When people beat their addictions it gives them a sense of achievement and purpose. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice alternative to tea & coffee if you're watching your caffeine level.

If someone is battling an addiction and it helps them or makes them feel better to talk about it or mention how long they’ve been sober then surely that’s a good thing? Your view is very simplistic, and a bit ignorant, in my opinion of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was my birthday and I decided to have a couple of cans. Was looking forward to it. Turns out they tasted pretty shit and I really don’t miss drinking at all. We’ve got a night away planned on Friday with free drink all night and I’ll probably have a few at that but won’t be rushing back to the bevvy again in a hurry. There you go. Surprised that the thought of being knocked out and your hairy ass being bared to a room of people and attacked with scalpel didn’t drive you to drink!!

Your view is very simplistic, and a bit ignorant, in my opinion of course. This.I've been in the unfortunate position of having faced addiction in the past, and I have absolutely no problem with admitting it. For 10 years I was addicted to opiates (sp?) And prescription medication, ending up with a blurry 2 years, where it got to the point I faced prosecution for stealing medication from my work. I'm not ashamed of it and I certainly wouldn't put anyone down for opening up about past troubles.Its talking about it that keeps it fresh in peoples minds and reminds them why they fought it and won. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I started a thread on the Jussie Smollett story, it seems to have been binned.
