I was just wondering if you had any advice. I let the mother of my child down
recently.
At least I have been for the past two years and I was a drunk. I'm finally
realizing everything
and trying to be better but apparently it's too late so you know. I was
wondering if you
had any advice on how to keep on going man. Love you. You helped me get through
the hardest
things. Thank you so much Theo. Thank you bro for the call man. I'm sorry that
you're that
you're suffering. But also I'm glad that you are. You know and I say this this
is why I
say that. Because you know it sounds like you have some realization now. You're
able
to get some perspective maybe. That the way you've been operating has
investment service
in you. Or those you care about the most. You know. You know I don't have a
wife or child
or anything like that but yeah it breaks my heart because I know it breaks your
heart man.
You know. You know. I know it breaks your heart to see you make the choice to
not choose
them. Hmm. And that I can relate to. You know I can relate to making choices
that. That
don't serve you. Or me. You know. Or you know. I can relate to making a choice
that I know
isn't good for myself. And I do it again and again. I can relate to that man.
So that's
where I'm going to try to relate to you at. For one thank you for even thinking
to bring
this up. You know. Because I'm sure a lot of people struggle with this kind of
stuff.
And I say that I'm glad you're getting. You know. I'm glad you're suffering. I'm
not glad
you're suffering. But I'm glad that you're having some realization. Because
there's some
realization there in that suffering. There's some perspective. Because we need
that. We need
something to adjust the perspective enough so we can see that the operating we're
doing
isn't doing us well. And if I'm not operating well. Then that means that there's
something
wrong with the operation or the operator. That's me. There's something unaligned.
It's
not wrong. It's just something unaligned. Because I'm not choosing the best
choices that
are making me feel good. And so I got to adjust. And for me that's where you
know going leaning
back into my program 12 steps. That kind of stuff helps immensely. It does
magic behind
the scenes that you can't even quantify. And it takes away that shame. That's
what I hear
in you too. I hear shame. I hear shame man. Damn. And shame is what. Shame is
that. Shame
is a trickster. Shame's playing. You know. Shame plays a dirty trombone dog.
That's a little
soil soldier dog. That's all he's got. In that. In that music maker is sod bro.
Because he's
a dirty. Shame is a dirty. Because you start hearing. Feeling your own shame.
And then that
keeps you stuck. Shame is a mud. It's a real mud. So anyway man I was saying a
lot of that
stuff because now you have some perspective. So now you can see you got to make
some adjustments
so that you're making different choices towards the people you care about the
most. And it's
possible. That's what I'm going to tell you. Here I'll take these off too. I
don't want to
be talking serious with you. Not be able to see you. Or as best I can.
You know it's hard to choose love sometimes in the world. It's hard. It's hard.
And I don't
know why you're not doing it in your life. I don't know why. But there's a lot
of people
out there not doing it. You know I've not done it a ton. There's areas of my
life I'm
not doing it. I'm choosing something else and I don't know why. And you know
what I don't
exactly have to figure out that why. What I do have to do is just get myself
into a place
where I'm choosing the things I need to be choosing. And so that's where I
believe that
the 12 step program can help you out. Because that has been the best success
that I've had after all
the things I've tried. That program I feel like has best given me the
opportunity and the different
feelings inside to have a new experience. And it's not over with the gal. That's
not over.
She can't tell you that everything's going to be okay right now. That's not
fair. That'll keep you in
the same spiral. You know. If she throws a life preserver into the toilet you're
still in the toilet.
You know what I'm saying baby. You know. We got to get you into a damn bird
bath dog.
That's where we got to get you.
So just don't be hard on yourself.
Just try not. Try not to be hard on yourself. And I think try something
different. You know.
I think trying a 12 step program will help a lot. Let me listen to the end
again so I can hear
just again in case I missed anything. For the past two years and
I was a drunk.
I'm finally realizing
everything and trying to be better
but
apparently it's too late. So you know.
I was wondering if you had any
advice on how to keep on going man.
Love you.
And the advice will start to come from a higher
power and from the program. So that will help you.
You'll get it. It's interesting.
It'll start to get built into you.
You just keep going to meetings and keep listening to people.
And I would go to speaker meetings. You can go to them on Zoom first if you
feel more comfortable.
And
because once you start to feel like you can keep on going
then you're going to feel like you can
go further.
but first you've got to feel like you can go.
And then it will all evolve man.
I promise you.
I promise you.
You will have other opportunities with this
with this person,
with this child.
You will have all of that.
You know.
All those things are possible but
now if you know that something's wrong
and you continue to do it,
you continue to do it,
then you are kind of choosing to suffer.
You know, you said
realized it.
You know, you realize these things.
So now you have knowledge.
So once you have that knowledge,
if you continue to do it,
then you are choosing to suffer.
You know.
And sometimes you may make that choice
but if it's a continued thing,
man, it's, you know.
And I just say it.
I'm not judging you.
I've done it.
And that's where self-pity starts for me.
I continue to stay in these loops
and I don't even recognize it.
I just continue to want to have
some reason to suffer.
And I just don't want to see the same thing
happen to you, man,
that's happened to me before.
You know.
So.
Anyway, just don't feel alone.
Don't feel alone, brother,
and just keep your head up, baby.
You know.
Because you're not alone, man.
I mean, there's probably
500,000 people listening to this
that are thinking of you.
And that want you to,
want you to try.
You know.
They want you to try.
You know, and I want you to try, too.
I know it's hard, man.
It's hard, bro.
It's hard to fucking try.
Especially when you have,
there's a feeling inside of you
like the world never,
it never tried for you.
This world never fucking tried for me.
But that's,
that's just a feeling, man.
You know.
And God gave you like a beautiful child
or whatever you believe in
gave you a beautiful child, man.
And you got a voice.
You have the ability to care about yourself
enough to call.
You have gifts.
You have gifts, man.
And I believe that you can do it, brother.
I believe you can have a new experience.
And that's what I want for you
because it seems like that's what you want for you.
So, anyway, man.
I'm not trying to preach at you,
but just letting you know
that you're not alone, baby.
