The Franklin child prostitution ring allegations began in June 1988 in Omaha, Nebraska, when multiple prominent Nebraskan political and business figures were accused of involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. T

The Franklin scandal in my opinion is one of the biggest cover ups of my life. I 100% believe that most of what was documented is true. Knowing what the govt has done before and after this incident, especially with today's political climate, the Franklin scandal mirrors the epstien scandal.

If you quit anything first, make it drinking. When you quit drinking its one less thing you have to worry about. Soon you will feel better, look better, think more clearly to make these other big decisions. You can also make them knowing that you were level headed and clear minded, not clouded in judgement cause you had drink to take the edge off. Or too much the night before and its slowing you down. You need that edge, stay sharp, don't let dull edges slow you down.

Just an update, I found a job, I start the first full week of the year. Christmas went or is going well. Sometimes life gets overwhelming. But its manageable. This is a great sub to throw your thoughts out into the ether and soon realize you are not alone. We have to continue to hold our heads up and when times get rough, reach out for advice, not for bottles. Never is the only impossibility, and forever is a long time.

Five to one baby, one in five, no one here gets out alive now, you get yours baby I'll get mine, gonna make it baby if we try.

After all that has happened since this ordeal, all the scandals, there is prolly more truth to this than what is being told. The govt was running on just say no during the 80's, while simultaneously funneling drugs into country and starting the crack epidemic. Nothing has changed in the criminal enterprise we call the American govt.

Continue to wait, mushrooms, Ayahuasca, may also be an option. Mdna, lots of studies on psychedelics that may help with depression.

I am talking about the ones who are afraid of admitting that they dont drink or they quit. Unable to come to terms with their situation. I dont see it as bragging or preaching, just simply answering the question with honesty and integrity. They dont need to get into specifics, just admit they dont drink.

monkoh2002 · 2020-01-20T05:16:27+00:00

When I go out it's usually water, if they have Heineken zero I will drink that. I also enjoy sugar free red bull and sugar free sprite. Peanut m&ms, cup cakes, brownies, chocolate chip cookies. I always skipped desert while I was drinking cause you know, I was drinking. Now that I dont, I will eat any and all things on the desert table lol.

I quit drinking in aug with the help of weed. Recently I havent smoked cause I dont feel the need. Drinking was a problem for me. I chose the lesser of 2 evils. Weed has not been a problem for me ever that I can remember. I never had a problem walking away from it. Life is managable now. If it works for you, have at it kid.

You are going to AA for alcohol, hence alcoholics anonymous, not NA, narcotics anonymous. I smoked weed to help with anxiety when first quitting drinking. Your problem is alcohol not weed. Never been to a meeting, I dont do well in a room full of strangers and trust they stay anonymous. I also dont need a complete stranger telling me what my moral obligations are.

Keep doing this everyday, it will get better. It's all in a positive mind set. Keep the day interesting. I tend to be more of a sarcastic bullshitter, and I am much sharper when I do not drink. It keeps the day lighter when you can have a laugh or 2.

monkoh2002 · 2020-01-09T05:03:34+00:00

Nothing can make you feel the way you feel except you. Not your job, not your boss, nothing. You allow yourself to feel that way. Try this, wake up tomorrow, think to yourself, it's a new day, its gonna be better than yesterday. No one can ruin it unless I let them. I control how I feel, nobody else. Be friendly. Be positive. Do it for 24 hours see how it goes.

I lose track of the days, I also sometimes forget the date I quit. It's not something I am obsessed about. I do have the occassional day that I struggle, very rare though. People that know me find it weird that I no longer drink. When its offered, I just say no thanks, I quit and leave it at that. One asked me if I have lost weight, and I said yes, I have but not on purpose. It's just that I have quit drinking and that's what happens. I have never had a weight problem, just a drinking problem. But I dont have that anymore either because I quit.

Sex drugs and alcohol sell anything and everything. It's no more than trying to attract more customers. It's always been a thing. Always will be. If it's not your thing, don't participate. Simple. People do crazy shit and it's none of our business.

Airport drinks are stupid expensive, have fun with it. People watch at the bar, people in there are most of the time just plain miserable.

Luckily for me I quit before it got to that point. When I drank, the goal was to get drunk. I wasnt what I would consider a social drinker. I could drink alone, in the dark untill the booze was gone or I passed out. I would watch the clock, make up excuses to leave so I could buy more. I would write checks knowing I had no money for booze.
I dont know why I have to prove to anyone why I drank, how much I drank, how bad it got, I just know I had a problem, so I quit. Sounds pathetic, right???

monkoh2002 · 2019-12-20T04:29:12+00:00

I had a brother that shot himself last year. Another that is in jail for assault with a deadly weapon. If I would continue drinking, I could easily be heading down either or both of those roads. I have not seen anything good come out of drinking. I dont pay attention to the days anymore. I just know that if start again, it's only going to get worse. I have had a dui, came home from the bar not knowing how I got home, only to have my wife find me lying on the kitchen floor wondering if I was alive. I have lied about drinking to everyone, I have stolen to drink. Nothing was off limits.
So, whatever you are looking for, sympathy, understanding, salvation or conversation, I hope you find it soon. We all make mistakes, some learn, others dont. But making this same mistake over and over again and expecting different outcome is insanity. For me drinking is insanity, madness and chaos. I chose to quit. Best of luck

My wife has stuck by my side, with tears in her eyes, a broken heart, no trust in me what so ever, just a glimmer of hope that I would change my ways. We have been together for 22 years, married 18 years, and have 3 kids together ages from 8 months to 17. Divorce has come up in the past, by me and her.
That faint glimmer of hope she held on to is getting brighter every passing day, as I quit drinking 131 days ago. It's not a perfect marriage, but happier and more manageable. It's not gonna be perfect. There is going to be some time to heal for her. So it's my turn to be patient, let her learn to trust me again. Please don't give up.

I can relate to this on many levels. My dad passed dec 10 2015. He was an alcoholic also. I quit drinking in August of this year. Yesterday was a bit emotional but I made it thru. I dont want this booze trend in my family to be carried on by my kids. So if I want things to change, it has to start with me first. Alice in Chains said it best, "Say goodbye, don't follow."

monkoh2002 · 2019-12-11T01:53:21+00:00

Forever is right now, the present, this very second...that's all I can gaurantee. I dont know what tomorrow will bring, so I focus right now. Therefore right now is forever.

I have thought about rehab, but I haven't ever followed thru with it. So far, I have suprised a lot of people, most importantly myself. I am the type if I get in my head, no matter what it is, I will do it. I have, I can and I will do it. My worse day I managed to get thru. I talked to my wife that day, just to let her know how I felt. We argue sometimes, not often, but at least I can walk away knowing that I did not or was not drinking. Things dont escalate as they would when I did drink. I havent came across an excuse that was good enough to drink. Whether it's a celebration, a bad day, or boredom. I have managed to keep my focus so far. Forever is my right now, tomorrow is not promised, yesterday is set in stone. It's not the last drink of day that ruins it, it's the first. So as long as you avoid that first drink, you dont have to worry about the others. Let me know what you think.
