(#5563270) At AA today

My share started...The school I went to was actually was far too rubbish for you to become an alcoholic, after all you need a job that pays quite well to buy booze.
Far too 'up market for my school, now other stuff that you buy on the street is where people went from my school.When you go to a bar with any one from that school its 4 pints in four hours and may be 10 games of pool, Alcoholism, here I do not come.
You hear of a few deaths from class 'A's.
Quite a few in the first two years, you wonder where they got the money. When of couse it is steal it. GOOD fighters is one thing they have all in common, and not shy of using a tool or two. Bouncer on the door, habit paid for by the hours worked, o deed, oh dear, so young too, what a shame.
A life of an alcoholic is beyond your wildest dreams, for some one from my school.
NO ONE can get a job that pays enough to pay a moorgage, so if you do not stay unemployed until you are given a council house/flat.
THEN you are heading straight onto the streets and homeless, AND it is rather a long wait with out even looking at a job advert, several years usually. that is life as it is for some one from my school.
Thatcherism put an end to all that, very few council houses, plenty of people living on the streets. The old days, very old days, it would be drinks or drug userers pn the streets.Not now.Sober as a judge as the saying goes..
