VTypeV4 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Hey man, hope you're ok.. I haven't been up the shop for months so diidn't know you weren't there. The lads never mentioned anything on a Tuesday either. If you ever fancy a coffee, just give me a shout. Kind regards, Matt Sound Quote
elcastillian Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Well done Pete, one day at a time. Always enjoyed your playing with the Nearlies. Gaslighting Abbie, keep it in your sights. Quote
spongebob Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Glad to hear you're on the mend. I too was thinking about not seeing you on the site for a while, as I researched one of my old posts with a 'Dan related question, which you kindly helped with. Keep up the good work! Quote
geoffbyrne Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Well done, Mate. You've done the easy bit, now to cope with the hard bit of staying off the booze while all your mates are knocking it back around you!! (I speak from experience). G. Quote
Rich Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 It takes guts to open up like that -- respect is due. Glad you're on track and all the best for the future, one day at a time. Quote
mr zed Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Best wishes Pete - we've never met but I've missed your posts here (and your avatar ). Good luck for the future. Quote

Lozz196 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Good luck Pete, having been in a similar situation myself, I can say with experience, you`re making one of the best decisions you`ll ever make. The thing that screams at me from your post is the positivity in it. I wish you all the best and if you ever want to chat please PM me. Quote

No, this isn't one of those "friend" situations, but i don't want to derail the thread from your achievements. Could i PM you? [/quote] Feel free to PM me as well/instead of if it`s too early for Pete. I`m 8 years down the line. Quote

mrtcat Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Pete, I've never met you or had any real involvement with you on here but your post is one of the bravest and most profound I've read. You sound like a strong person and you clearly have a lot of friends here. I sincerely wish you all the very best on your journey. Quote
Pete Academy Posted October 29, 2015 Author Posted October 29, 2015 [quote name='elcastillian' timestamp='1446049602' post='2896521'] Well done Pete, one day at a time. Always enjoyed your playing with the Nearlies. Gaslighting Abbie, keep it in your sights. [/quote] Thanks mate. We actually did Gasligbting years ago but only lasted about 3 times in the set. I nailed it, but it fried my brain doing so. Quote
FlatEric Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Pete, Hi. I wish you all the best. I have had several friends/aquaintances who have gone through this and have lost two of them, due to it. It is not easy. As has been said above a brave post and well put. Good luck for the future. Cheers. Quote
JellyKnees Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Well done man, my ex wife was an alcoholic and it basically destroyed our marriage. It made me seriously revise my own attitude to alcohol too. I hope you continue to get the support you need and stay away from the booze. It's so ingrained in our culture that it will be hard, but it can be done as other members on here have proved. Respect to you for meeting it head on and opening up about it on the forum. Quote
BassTractor Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Just wanna express a "me too!" as to the respect I have for your battle and your OP, and wish you well on the demanding road ahead. I hope and trust you've read up on the effects of alcoholism on one's personality. If not, then I think it's smart to do so. You'll have to adapt, see. All the best! Bert Quote
