Ive been out with the wife shopping for a few xmas bits nd bobs, bought a homeless man a meal, then sat and had a coffee and a doobie in the park. Got me thinking about how lucky I am and how thankful I am for what ive got.
3 yrs ago I was homeless and on heroin, I started my journey on methadone and trying to get my life back, I was taught how to tend a grow by my "stepdad" of 12 years , we ended up with me tending it with the promise of halfs on the outcome to help me out.
2 weeks before harvest he tried to murder my mother! put a bag over her head and tried to suffocate her, long story short, police put his door in looking for him and found the crop.
Luckily for me and my mam there was 1 tent untouched in a box with the extras, so to help my mam out I offered to set up again and give her half, as per the original agreement with the devil.
4 months down the line, 2 "police officers" appeared in my home, armed with samurai swords and took all the drying product!
Unfazed by this and against everyones advice. I started AGAIN.
Moved home,
4 months later and I got my first shit harvest. just barely paid the bills and gave my mam something to live on(shes not well and getting on in years).
4 months later,
flu hit.
Used lockdown to get off of Methadone. and set up to go again.
Then I found The Farm.
We get out first good harvest. Go away for 2 nights in a hotel and come home to My house had been burgled,, turned upside down, plants destroyed or stolen(only kids but managed to get a lot of equipment back but couldnt save most of the plants)
So I went
AGAIN set away quick fire autos and a sog.
Most of the rest is documented in my threads,
This Brings us to today again,
Im sat here, with my 3 kids and wife, in my mams house, shes doing brilliant stopped having nightmares and is actually living life again(Ive just set her up with her own "attic conversion"
)
Ive never been happier in my ENTIRE life. My family are all around me and Ive managed to scrape the shit out of my life in more than 1 way.
For all 2020 has been the year from hell, It has also been a year of awakening and growth for me.
Probably one of the most pivotal years of my life.
As the saying goes "If at first you dont succeed, try try and try again"
Sorry for the Monologue, just got carried away with the festiveness and thankful time of year..
Merry Christmas everyone.
