@Grandeur with you command of the English language you are NOT an idiot. In my opinion you may be smarter than most. But I have noticed over time that the super-smart ones sometimes have more emotional problems than others. You can see and understand things that most would not notice, clearly not an idiot. I am sorry to hear about your mother, we are all attached to our moms, and when they pass it is traumatic. It's been ten years now since my parents passed, and in a way I still am not 'over' it. But time heals if you let it.
Today I spent too much money on cigars. I gotta stop it. I am wasting money. I smoked too many cigars and too much money is wasted.
No one is saying that you should not enjoy some pleasures in life. You just need to keep everything in balance and in control.
When I do something, I do too much of it. Every time I have a head ache, I take all the pack of the pain killers at once, which is 15 pills. But I dont think it does much except for tiring the liver. Pain killers are simple drugs anyway. I may try 2 packs sometime. I also overdose on antidepressants but I even had a shoulder dislocation overdosing on antidepressants. But I had taken 21 pills. So I Iowered the number of pills after that. So no more shoulder dislocation. And I have alcohol problems even though I may not drink for long time, this does not go permenantly. When I start drinking, I cannot stop. And I broke my smart phone with anger when I was drunk. I did not use any phone for like 2 months. Then I got an old second hand phone which only has a 1.8 inches screen, plus mp3 player and a 2 MP camera with AF. It does not have 3G or any advanced stuff like that. Since mother died, which happened in October 2017, the longest I went without alcohol was 3 months. I couldnt make it longer. There are 2 problems with alcohol. One of the problems is wasting money. And the other problem, you already know it. Being out of control. When I start drinking, I cannot stop. I drink alone and pass out in the streets, then sober up in hospital Wİth Cigars, there is only one of the problems. Instead of both of them. But wasting money is also something bad.
Well it seems we're generally agreed on two things, Candy is a bloody good person,one of the best in fact, and Grandeur, well he needs to take a long hard look at himself and sort himself out,he can do it,we know he can, he just has to realise this. come on mate, you can do it.
In not too many words Phil I think that is a very good summing of the situation in respect of Grandy, particularly there in bold. And as Candy herself says above, I too hope that Grandaur is paying attention to your very good advice.
I was just talkin about wastin money yesterday. I've just been fined a lot of money for not wearing a mask now.
That is just unlucky because I have seen many people in the UK not wearing masks when they ought to . It depends how zealous the authorities are I suppose
