Sorry to hear that @Teessidemackem . You and your boys will be just fine. You can’t keep a good man down long. Wife currently sorting the Christmas tree and decorations out. It will be a very strange one this year first one without my Mam. She loved Christmas always made a big thing of it for us as kids then her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Will be a few tears from everyone no doubt but then it will be time to remember the good times and the great laughs we had with her. Happy Christmas Mam. <cracker>:emoticon-0115-inlov

All ready here, but I've dropped a proper bollock, booked to take my 2 grandsons to the pantomime, only just found out it's at 2pm on the 18th, an hour before the World Cup Final. Gonna take some creative planning if we get through.

This is my first post on here for quite some time. Had a pretty **** time over the last 4 months it so. Big money worries due to job struggles and my own business not performing as well as expected. My season card got cancelled due to the fact I couldnt pay the monthly instalments so footy and messageboards in general have taken something if a back seat.
Jobs wise things are looking a lot better and hoping for something more permanent in the new year.
Been finding it a massive struggle to
get excited about footy in any shape or form lately. Hoping the new year brings some more interest.

Christmas usually makes it worse somehow.

For me what helps handle the problems that face me is, regular exercise and less drinking,(unfortunately). Also coming on here and naming your worries or talking through them with family (I have an uncle who had always been more like a big brother, who steadies me) or friends.

So as long as it is not something like gambling ( seen a few friends fall to that addiction) you sound like the sort of bloke that will put things right, given time.

I've seeked help despite being in denial I now realise if I keep my life going the way I am I'll die at a very young age and not see my lads grow up. I have inner demons to do with my childhood that I find impossible to shake off and I dream every night of being a kid in this situation.
When I wake up I'm full of rage and literally want to hurt and take my frustration out on people. I cant live like this anymore, all either seriously hurt someone or myself and my lads dont deserve that

Seeking help is the way forward mate, so well done for that. It's always darkest before the dawn

for me it’s always been money. That’s my biggest demon. I very rarely drink and do t gamble(used to do matched betting but cleaned out the money to pay debts).

I’ve been trying to start my own business which didn’t go as well as expected. It’s cricket related so will probably end up being seasonal so I need to find something that i can do during the winter months.

It seems you have at least admitted you need to change things.

that’s the biggest step imo.

good luck.
