Stuff surviving, try 'thriving' on for size.

Hope the booze isn't feeding the depression and blame.

You know we all have to be our own best friend.
Friends don't put down friends or do things to hurt their friends, do they.

If you have done everything you can do, then what is there to beat yourself up for?

Hold your head up high, you are a honorable man. Where many others would have given up you have stood for what you believed in.

Things that happened in the past are gone, done, it's what you do right now that matters.
Your thoughts and actions make your future so really it's all up to you.

Take care,

Paul.
