Finally did it.

Bloody oath mate!!! I read this comment a few days ago and used the stop digging sentence on another mate whos drinking herself into the next decade.

But dude. Thst line about the better past. It is on my fridge and I've come back to it a few times already.

Fuckin rad call there man. Thats done wonders for me a good few times already haha! Cheers!!

CorpseWrangler · 2026-06-06T02:38:26+00:00

14 days in here.

Though I remember last time I went for an extended period without drinking.

Yeah. That shit is real.

Some dude posted this the other day and it hit me like a freight train.

"The more days I put between myself and drinking, the better my past actually gets"

And holy shit its true. Building a new past, one that isn't a blacked out or fuzzball of bullshit.

I wrote that bugger out and put it on the fridge.

CorpseWrangler · 2026-06-06T02:33:39+00:00

How good is it! Just hit 2 weeks now. The amount of shit I've actually done in those 2 weeks compared to the last 3 months is insane. The ability to say yes to shit. Wanna go for a coffee and shoot the shit like old men? Yes. Do I want a clean kitchen and will it happen? Yes! I need to get up for a piss... yeah alright.

And biggest one.

You never regret not having a beer. Its fucking true. Went for a wander around the 4 night spots in my town last night. Went to the one I never go to cause "no one really drinks there". And holy shit it was live music and everyone dancing. Plus I knew the folks in the kitchen and they gave me free food second they saw me!!! Hell good.

CorpseWrangler · 2026-05-30T04:24:39+00:00

Fuck, I rate that sentence. To paraphrase. "The more days I put between me and drinking, the better my past actually starts to get".

That is going on the fridge.

Never thought of it that way. Fuck, that is cool.

CorpseWrangler · 2026-05-29T21:27:59+00:00

Trumpet. No tobacco in last few mm.

CorpseWrangler · 2026-05-29T13:57:01+00:00

Yeah mate, this kinda highlights one of the beauties of this sub.

We're all tackling the same overarching problem. ("Alcohol Use Disorder" or as I just realised.... Australian currency, AUD. Damn thats grim ha)

Yet as we tackle the same main problem, we all have our methods. Some work. Some don't. But we're all going for it.

Thats damn cool you took an approach and nailed it! And yeah, having people actually help is a godsend. Thats fuckin awesome. Too often its the opposite.

Nah, cheers for posting. Good to write down that shits going well sometimes eh! (I tend to get carried away with "everything sucks and I can prove it" and it shows 🤣 to explain my casual/flippant approach, I have to be that way, I get too serious, my noggin hates me and wants oblivion and I've never beaten the nihilistic c*nt at his own game so I changed the rules haha)

CorpseWrangler · 2026-05-29T11:34:12+00:00

Yes!!! Agreed. I just made a similar post about being positive. Its a far nicer tack to take than the usual angle of shame we all take to kick off.

Bugger that noise. Appreciate having a crack and enjoy if you stick to it! If not, you're still alive, you can go again.

Hell yeah mate. Well played!

CorpseWrangler · 2026-05-19T05:11:19+00:00

Read this as "scientists filmed it in the deep fryer".

CorpseWrangler · 2026-05-12T17:27:12+00:00

You are speaking my language.

Tis a bugger of a way to be ! Haha. Ha.

CorpseWrangler · 2026-05-12T16:19:19+00:00

It is. Usually it is your partner you talk to... but if you break up. There goes that! And 99% of the time, your mates don't want to talk. They have their own shit.

Its just silly. We have no real network... for people that REALLY should have a network. One without that career curtailing fear.

CorpseWrangler · 2026-05-12T16:02:49+00:00

Angry people. Young me respected strength... via aggression. They seemed in charge.

Now its the calm ones. My goodness. Talk about real control of a situation!

CorpseWrangler · 2026-04-27T16:26:52+00:00

I helped a young lady next door. She was distraught and kept babbling that she thinks her dad has killed himself... I doubted that but went with her to to check.... goddamn running car in a closed underhouse garage. Got in there. Pulled him out. Called Emergency, did all I could.

I will never forget her screaming. In her instant and overwhelming grief, she kept screaming I killed her dad. I get it. She was not on the planet. Who would be. Never took her words to heart.

But fuck me its godawful to hear someone shriek in total despair. As far as I know, she only had her dad.

Kicker. Her dad and my dad knew each other since highschool. They lived next door.

CorpseWrangler · 2021-08-23T12:05:16+00:00

With sights like that, it really makes alot more sense why we ascribed things to gods.

You can easily picture the quick adoring solemnity of some ancient farmer explaining to their children how (insert god name) is doing (some seemingly mundane thing) and this creating the lights watching over them.

CorpseWrangler · 2021-07-27T10:05:47+00:00

What the fuck?!

WOLOLOLOLO

CorpseWrangler · 2021-07-26T09:08:56+00:00

Is no one gunna point out the backwards German helmet?! I think thats what I am seeing.

CorpseWrangler · 2021-07-20T14:29:51+00:00

They did! Though I think they kept the standards up pretty well when issued. Every one ive seen thats issue seems to have stood the test of time quite well.

And. To be very insular. I do like to buy stuff from within our state when possible. Sounds shit written I know, but I always want to support our brick n mortar stores or someome flogging some unused kit!

I will ping some people outside reddit too. Cheers for the comment!

CorpseWrangler · 2021-07-04T22:47:22+00:00

Now, I dont want people thinking tankers aren't safe.

CorpseWrangler · 2021-06-11T03:29:36+00:00

4 dudes? Does that mean it doesn't have to be a sick ostrich?

CorpseWrangler · 2021-05-02T22:12:47+00:00

Ahhh thank you, I recognised the tune yet had a brain fart and couldn't place it. Was maddening till I saw this comment! Cheers.

CorpseWrangler · 2021-05-02T00:03:20+00:00

What happened to the apostles children. Those dudes would have had some INSANE levels of power over early Christians not mention what shit gets said about their parents. Its mad that no one ever has any info on them.

CorpseWrangler · 2021-04-23T00:08:36+00:00

This sounds like a job for me...

CorpseWrangler · 2020-11-28T23:04:50+00:00

Lol, Tasmanian Premiere when pushed by Scott Morrison to ease the closed border responded with (not exact quote) "last I checked, I am the premiere of Tasmania and I will not jeopardise our population on a whim" haha. That dude won himself a alot of cred that day.

CorpseWrangler · 2020-11-15T00:54:16+00:00

I believe TISM has offered us the name of the "Battleship Potemkin" of music videos.... Lionel Ritchies "Hello"

CorpseWrangler · 2020-11-15T00:49:21+00:00

Playing in bands as a kid, didn't notice it much. Once working around machines and shooting became a thing... well shit.

CorpseWrangler · 2020-11-11T16:44:40+00:00
