Happy Father’s Day (heads up bit of a long post) to my Dad & Mike, who was a father figure & future step dad. Sadly both of these great men lost their lives to drink & drugs far too young both aged 35.
I’m going to use this time to say there’s a better life than living for the weekend. And I’ve witnessed first hand the destruction this can cause.
I was brought up around this from young and have lived a lifestyle in the deep end of both spectrums. I’ve been a wreck head(trust me) & now I live a healthy lifestyle. From experience I can tell you that living healthy is the way to go 99% of the time.
This doesn’t mean you can’t let loose & enjoy yourself now & then, balance is obviously key for this.
But if you’re feeling s**t, depressed, lonely don’t turn to the Class A’s. Get yourself into a gym, or find something else to look forward to aside from getting off your barnet. Whether that be walking, cycling, boxing, whatever. Just get out and move. There is a life outside working for the weekend, I think this is especially hard to overcome in our town, where there really isn’t much to do other than go out. But trust me if you’re struggling, when you break through that barrier you’ll see a new world.
I’ve never posted anything about my life like this public before, not sure why I felt like it this year just thought it could help someone who see’s this message. But it’s probably an insight into why I’m the way I am. It was going to be one way or the other for me, and at points it seemed like it was going to be the wrong route. But I sorted my s**t out and got onto the right path to live hopefully a long & healthy life. And I’m blessed this is the route I got onto, thankful to the people around me & everyone in my gym who probably doesn’t know it but keeps my head on me shoulders more than they could imagine.
If you’re in a position where you feel there is no other route. Please message me now. I’ve been there. You can come & use my gym whenever you need it completely free of charge. Or if the gym isn’t your thing and you need a chat then I’m here for that too.
Hope all the Dads alive & passed are celebrated by their loved ones today. Happy Father’s Day ❤️💙
