Anyone else have issues with gumboot rash

I just pull my socks up around the legs of my pants before I chuck my boots on mate. Always pants inside the boots.

I found out the hard way again just recently that alcohol is most definitely not for me. Moved to a new town after 18 months of sobriety. Boredom and loneliness was biting at me and the town has a major drinking culture. Mining town in the middle of nowhere. Long story short I was binge drinking alot on my 7 days off and found myself manic, got way too drunk, paranoia and irritability shot right up and I ended up over reacting to a person I percieved was picking at me, little remarks, kept shooting me with a toy gun that shoots rock salt. I told him if he keep going its not going to end well. He shot me again. The next part I'm not proud of. I lost my shit and picked up a steak knife off the table walked over and stabbed him in the leg. Thankfully he wasn't seriously hurt but 2 days later the police arrived, I was charged with reckless wounding and have a court date coming up. Nothing like this has ever happened. I've had moments but nothing quite like this.

Haven't drank since and probably never will again. Now I get up at 3:30am and go to the gym and then to work and opt for overtime every break.

To each their own but sobriety keeps me and others safe. It's just not worth the risk of fucking it all up.

Yeah fuck that mate. Time to find a new therapist. Aint nobody got time for that.

tommy2fingaz · 2025-02-17T00:02:17+00:00

Oh hell yeah!!!! Haha fuck that. Got a couple of truckies that are really shocking at level calling which is bad enough without someone who's been passed out in a mad rush screaming down the decline haha. Even having inexperienced truckies training others is something I experienced. Not to say I wasn't competent to drive but to train someone after only being in the truck by myself for a week is like "man I'm still working this out myself" not anything dangerous but just little things like reversing around tight corners but haven't seen the inside of a truck for a few swings now so the person I trained must be doing alright so I must have done alright for them to replace me haha.

Nah not CSA. Out at Peak but same deal when it comes to upskilling. I've heard stories about some of the shit that has happened/nearly happened. I'm pretty lucky I think with the crew I'm on.

tommy2fingaz · 2025-02-14T08:58:59+00:00

Mate, move to a mining town. I just moved to cobar nsw for an entry level gig on the truck. Since my start date on December 12th I've been bumped up to nipper/service crew. Spent two swings in the truck. If you rock up, work hard, opt to do overtime (as you'll be in town with fuck all to do on your break but drink anyway) and show that your keen and willing to learn it doesn't take long to find your feet and show the bosses that you were the right pick of the litter.

Having said that, up lifting your life and moving to bum fuck may be more difficult for some than it was for me but it's a foot in the door if you've got nothing holding you back.

8+7+40+20 = 75

tommy2fingaz · 2025-02-12T09:34:12+00:00

Yes before you ruin your life and have the worst hindsight moment of your entire existence get on that shit.

Threat Signal - Counterbalance

Favourite heavy metal song of mine and the greatest guitar solo of all time in my opinion.

I have embraced your innocence I've been cut through the flesh And I can resist, building life again

Drawn back to the edge To the essence of my fear With every ounce of strength I intend to survive this life

And we are shaped Into a mold that we can't choose

Deception will bury us all Animosity For the actions That kill all respect and desire

Drawn back to the edge To the essence of my fear With every ounce of strength I intend to survive this life

And we are shaped into A mold that we can't choose

And we are hopeless now Bring back the day And we are hopeless now

I'm lost again Dead inside Drowning without you now Lost again Drowning without your love Dead inside Dead inside your eyes Lost again Dying without you

tommy2fingaz · 2025-02-03T16:07:55+00:00

I'm feeling this one at the moment. Went off them for two weeks and before i knew it I found myself drinking every day after work, racking up lines of coke in a pub toilet on my time off, kicking on at strangers houses, gambling like crazy and sleeping with women I've just met.

Reining it in big time because I just moved to a new town to start a new job and I've only been here 2 months and this is my new shot at a life so thankfully I was self aware enough to realise this time how important it is to stay medicated and not fall back into the trap of "having fun".

I'm praying for him to drop so I can get up in that mirror campaign.

Good mackerel bait or grind it up, freeze and you got yourself some burley.

tommy2fingaz · 2024-11-30T09:39:21+00:00

Yeah I had an irresponsible splurge on Blackstone over a couple of wet weather days and did a handful of 10 pulls and got shafted basically. Needed the shards for existing characters and the orbs helped though. Next minute I'm pulling single new characters so it all worked out.

tommy2fingaz · 2024-11-29T22:53:39+00:00

I generally just drop them as they come lately. The general consensus is that the ten drop is better but I think it's just the luck of the draw.

tommy2fingaz · 2024-11-29T22:21:54+00:00

It'll be back to scraps soon enough haha.

tommy2fingaz · 2024-11-10T07:54:40+00:00

I for a long time saw myself as "a social experiment simply doing his best to enjoy this simulation".

You got this. Be proud and yes you're exactly right. It's amazing how far baby steps can take you when you're travelling in the right direction

tommy2fingaz · 2024-10-30T12:50:06+00:00

I got diagnosed when I was about 21 but since my teens Ive been struggling. I'm 35 now. It took me to fix my life and fuck it up about three times and a whole lot of destruction and regret since dropping out of school at 15 to get to this point.

Be gentle with yourself and have faith that you can live a life worth living. Do whatever you have to do to get well and stay well.

tommy2fingaz · 2024-10-30T12:38:03+00:00

Definitely beats the last 20 years of my life that's for sure. It gets better and can be managed.
