Hello! I used to read and contribute to these threads but then I lost my way with them for a while. I was looking for a new thread to get into and I stumbled across Cambourne’s finest again!

I’m about halfway through the last thread and I hope you don’t mind but I wanted to post from the perspective of a recovering alcoholic. I don’t know know if MM is an alcoholic and it wouldn’t be for me to say if he is or not. But if he says he is, then as all the others have posted, it’s up to him alone to get out of it. If he isn’t prepared to accept help then it’s a waste of time. I had people who cared for me when I was at my worst - they took my bank card, they bundled me off to stay with a friend in the middle of nowhere - but I’m an alcoholic so I still found a way. I 100% agree that people sending him money when he’s saying “I’m an alcoholic” is wrong…but if he is in active addiction, he’d find a way anyway. Like the photo in the local shops - the fact he’s widening out the 5-mile radius when he’s so unfit suggests to me that he’s desperate to get drink (or desperate to make people think he’s drinking).

Alcoholics are very manipulative and self-centred. I was a right hole with a huge chip on my shoulder. I had suffered serious life events but I was 100% using them as an excuse for drinking. But when you’re in active alcoholism, you don’t have much choice once you start. They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different outcome. I would take a drink, each time thinking I could control it and never could. And once you start - if you suffer the physical allergy of once you start you can’t stop - then all bets are off. And then you slide into despair, quicker each time and depending on how much you drink and over how long, the risk of alcohol withdrawal seizures increase and so you’re scared to stop. You do stop but the aftermath is worse every time, you don’t like what’s in your head so you drink again…

Long story short, I went to AA. Nobody promised it would be easy but they promised it would be worth it, and you better believe it was. As well as thinking I had it much worse than everyone else (if you had my problems, you’d drink too!) I thought I couldn’t identify with anyone because I was only 28 and female. It’s not homeless people drinking out bottles in brown paper bags on park benches who go. Judging can still be one of my defects and other people’s drinking really isn’t my business but I look at Marcus and think “the 12 Step Programme is perfect for you”.

If he is drinking as much as he’s saying he has then his organs will be under a huge strain. Being alone in that hotel room is a risk, but I can’t judge Sid (that’s my mum) because she must be at the end of their tether.

Marcus, I know you read here. Please contact AA. I’ve been to meetings with people your age and watched with pride as they deal with this illness at such a young age. They go and live a happy life, which is what I’ve done. You just seem…lost. But what you get at meetings is tough love, and there’s a reason you’ve got threads here and you have to accept that. Meetings online 24-hours a day if you don’t want to walk into a meeting. And if your mum sees this, I’d recommend Al-Anon - the families and friends of alcoholics often shoulder the blame and the burden of sorting their loved one out as well as the ‘hurting those closest to us’. And do you know what Marcus? Getting into recovery would be amazing content! You could influence people to overcome addiction.

This is an amazing post by someone who has done amazing!
Well done and thank you for sharing ❤ I really hope someone close to him sees this and takes action.

I think him influencing people to overcome addiction would be ideal for him, but he needs to do it soon or he's not going to have many people following him left xx
 
Oh huns it's been touch and go today.
I've eaten a medium pizza to myself and going in for number 2 shortly.
I can only dream of noshing off a Colin the Caterpillar like he did. Incredible scenes. I've honestly watched that in awe.
I'm trying to manifest him shoplifting as through my pain I've managed to belly laugh at the thought of him legging it 4 cans of darkfruits on a live!!!!

That blanket disguise was ridiculous, a face mask and cap would have made more sense. Or he could just go as Amy Jayne! I can’t believe he was telling random strangers that he’s an alcoholic like it was something to be proud of. Most alcoholics are in denial for a long time.

Didn’t he also post a photo of the same blanket / bed liner saying to everyone that the hotel doesn’t wash them yet he had it wrapped around his bulbous head? FFS! 🤬
