INJURIES
Can I ask does anyone else suffer with chronic pain that never goes away? Just looking to see how you cope or any help you have had Thanks all

@Liam Zamudio thank you brother, i will take you up on this offer. I am having counselling as bad pain management by the NHS for many years has led to other issues, which included alcohol to numb the pain and fill the void. Its like grieving when you get such a chronic injury. I am having intervention and counselling before i went really off the rails. Nearly cost me everything

@Shawn Hendron hi mate, pain is up and down. I have been placed on the urgent list for nerve ablation therapy, very apprehensive about it, but thank you for asking
What Are You Leaving Behind?
2025 is almost over, brothers. What are you leaving behind? What habits? What excuses? What versions of yourself? Maybe it's: •The dad who was always on his phone (a little guilty) •The man who said "I'll start Monday" (never guilty) •The guy who put everyone else first and himself last (sometimes guilty) •The excuse-maker who blamed time, stress, genetics (nope) •The passive husband who let his marriage drift (could definitely do better) What are you done with? Drop it below. Declare it. Make it real.

Sorry just opening up a little here! For me the last 18 months have been hell not just on myself but the damage I caused to my family. Since my back injury its been a drastic change of career and steered my in a direction that I didn’t want to go, after over 20 years of graft. After years of ill treatment of pain management and medication, led to addiction and depression. I succumb to alcohol unfortunately, on occasions to fill a huge void that was missing and to numb pain, so Much physical and mental pain! It is a shock how much damage alcohol can do in a short space of time. I dont wake up and need a drink, or alcohol to function in anyway. Its those urges every now and then (can go weeks without it) then get those down days and alcohol comes in. Just to try to forget for a few hours and seem “happy”! But this was self destruction! Its definitely not the way forward, I have actually attended a few AA meetings which if I’m honest frightened the life out of me. So for me, its leaving the old me behind, reconnect with my family and loved ones. Be kind to myself and slow down, as we are doing ok! Focus on the can do’s and not the cant do’s! F**k you pain! No more lying, no more hiding/feeling sorry for myself OWN IT

Can you review this, guys
Gents, I've written a quick PDF guide to introduce a Dad to weight loss with some quick tips, daily non-negotiables, and three workouts. It's an interactive PDF thingy... https://gamma.app/docs/The-StrongDad-Starter-Guide-Lose-the-Gut-Build-Muscle-in-34-Hours-e9uyk2fun4a1izt Please can you cast your eye over it and provide some feedback?

Fair play 🔥
Finally a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor
Yesterday I attended the final class of the course. My assignments are in, just got the paperwork to sort out. It all feels a bit surreal, it’ll hit me soon I’m sure. I’ve had a lovely final report from my clinical supervisor which comes as a hugely complimentary bit of validation. It’s taken 4 years to get here, and the journey is just getting started.
