Fuck sake mate that was some story.Having worked offshore for 20 years(now retired )it echos so many stories I witnessed,you had to be a part time social worker /marriage councillor.at times massive kudos to your self for telling your story and if it helps just one person it’s worth it,been to one to many funerals of guys that died offshore/onshore thru addiction and mental health problems.This was a major contributing factor in taking early retirement.
On a happier note I love your photos please keep up the good work and enjoy Egypt (if you can lol)
Thanks John, yeah we have all had the doghouse D&M’s either on the listening end or venting end. From the military to offshore I know way to many guys who have ended it for many various reasons that no one was fully aware of and maybe just talking about it could have helped. I am looking forward to Egypt, mate. I can see the images in my head.
Wow Justin. So honest and brave. Thank you for sharing your story and your truth. It’s really hard to be so open and vulnerable, but you did it. That’s a huge win. Make sure you take it.
Congratulations on your sobriety!
Also, you should write a memoir. Or compile your blog post into a book. I would certainly read it!
Thank you Emma, I sat on this one for a few days not knowing if it was the right thing to do for obvious reasons, but I really want this newsletter and what I write to be raw and honest.
I know a lot of FIFO people struggle with some type of vice, it can provide a great lifestyle for you and your family and in the same breath it can destroy you.
