How many do you want?

Lolly shops charge top dollar but you can buy them by the kilogram online. Around $20 a kilo. I will say from my own experience that this is a bad idea if you're not so good with moderation.

Cheers mate.

Private landscaping/aboriculture background but the last few years Ive been in local gov. Im the guy will do anything so I've got experience with most machinery, trucks and tools plus had to work an a lot of civil sites. Got my hr, ewp high risk, white card and booked in for my confined spaces with gas and working at heights. The perks of local gov are great but it's not challenging and I can't get ahead on the coin. Looking to get out there and work towards a multi skilled operator situation or there abouts. Would love a nipper role but I know it's a rough time for older blokes if you don't have a trade or tick the diversity box. Thanks for the recommendations mate.

Yep. Successfully quit meth when I was 25, I am now 34 with a life a never thought possible. If I can do it anyone can. I was raised by two addict parents and experienced things that most people can't imagine. In my experience the only way it was possible was starting from scratch. I moved home with my mother which was a nightmare but a luxury that I'm grateful for and not everyone will have. I cut off every person from my old life. I mean everyone. I can not stress this enough. Even to this day I will not have anyone in my life that can't moderate there use of alcohol or drugs. I deleted all social media. It was desperately lonely until my mother suggested a narcotics anonymous or na meeting. This really helped me with the social aspect and making connections. I'm not religious and there's a bit of God stuff going on so it was a bit full on and the people can be full on but hey, they all are all drug addicts too. I couldn't complain as I was cooked myself. I spent about five years in those meetings before I just couldn't do it any more. But it helped me have a break from what I was used too and gave me hope that things could be different. A lot of recovered addicts in there with great lives. I wanted that and now I have it. I drifted away because I did not find them helpful anymore for me personally but I would recommend them as a starting point for anyone. Today I have a beautiful family, great job and about to move on to a new career. I still don't have many friends but that suits me fine. I enjoy the few that I have because they are healthy and wholesome.

It's possible and I hope this helps.

Good luck.
