[Rusty]

That sucks brother. You been able to stay good?

 

[Rusty]

How you been brother @Cluster

 

[Xpliot]

Yeah! Been liftin and working. I don’t have time to do anything else lol

 

[Rusty]

Been there. It’s harder for me to stay outta trouble when I’m not busy

 

[Symarip85]

Same here. But between a full time job, a house, a baby, and a wife I don’t think I’m gonna have time for trouble in the foreseeable future.

 

[Cluster]

Im doin pretty good did really good cut my dose dow by 75 percent and trying to get in the mood for cold turkey but i feel better off the stuff for sure sleep better and back lifting

 

[Rusty]

Glad to hear it brother. Lifting helps everything. 75% is a lot. Keep at it bro am rooting for you my brother!!

 

[Rusty]

Be careful though brother we can always find time to get in trouble. Although for sure do better when busy.

 

[Symarip85]

No doubt bro. My biggest change was literally people, places, things. And I hate these sayings we pickup in the rooms but I’ll be damned if it ain’t true. Stopped talking to all my good time and outlaw bros, replaced the time mainly with family. Stopped going to bars and runs, started investing time at work, gym, home. And most importantly, dropped any unproductive substances. This was over 7 years ago and I’ve never been happier. Some kinda switch went off in my mind somewhere through this transition. It’s weird but I have no interest in any of it now. It all looks like a hassle and a cell to me now. I really dig my quiet life full of positive challenges, be healthier, be a good dad, be a good husband, excel in my trade. But every once in a while I’ll need to reach out, and I’m really happy that I’ve got this right here. Thanks again @Rusty

 

[Rusty]

Your on a good path brother. Stay the course. Your definitely doing better then me. But hearing this kind of stuff is very encouraging.

 

[Dirtnasty]

I found got I could escape all that but I’macrually the bad influence

 

[Symarip85]

Oh don’t get me wrong, I was commonly the bad influence. But it’s easier to live a different kind of life if you actually start living a different kind of life. Hope that makes sense.

 

[Thunder]

Well said
I came up around the MC culture too so I have a pretty good idea where exactly your coming from. Luckily, most MC’s have clean and sober chapters now that consists of brothers that somehow survived the life. Sadly, most don’t survive. Those lucky enough that do find the rooms and hold on to them for dear life.

 

[Rusty]

What is the MC culture

 

[Poppy]

Motorcycle Club

 

[Rusty]

Oh ya. When I was a kid one of the leaders of the iron coffins lived across the street from us. I was best friends with his step son. It was in Detroit. They often had fights and pulled out guns and his son was a big drug dealer. It was some scary shit.

 

[Poppy]

It’s a lifestyle that doesn’t lend itself to healthy lifestyle or favorable ending. I’m like the others. I walked away from it.

My ahhh haaa moment was with my first born child. I was home alone with her (infant) and one of my buddies stopped by…we chopped out a _____of ______ on the coffee table…as i was bending over to partake i was looking at her in the little bassinet thing next to me… that was it. I made my decision to be superdad.

Both of my adult children are grown and gone and I couldn’t be prouder. I absolutely made the right decision.
