I like you don't recommend it all right have you got any problems like with other addictions drugs abuse I used to smoke a lot of weed when I was with our teenager from to the age of 30. so I lost my fat really well until I got arrested what for well drugs all right you know I had a lot on me and I see someone I was on the train back for work and someone smelled it called the police and that's his history the social services came around and [Music] her kids away she was a good mum you know he's like because if they come I'll leave anyway so that was it really [Music]

foreign

hmm you know they they did do anything but it's just a thought they were there and she just flipped her [ __ ] lid yeah I see I see but you gradually anyway you said you you stopped smoking we didn't you yeah I mean she gave me all the money and basically stopped smoking or I'm gonna kick you out so I just stopped yeah yeah I've done it since but then I started drinking instead [Music] oh dumb all right my friends [Music] listen if there's any like advice that you can give to people not to end up like you what that would be [Music] uh

no I just you know just keep your head above water like don't don't take stuff for granting don't drink I mean I know it's easy thing to say but you know because once if you started you had and stuff goes wrong in your life you start to depend on it I don't know if you just but even if you go down you can always pick yourself back up again that's what I'm trying to do but you can't get used to living like how I am now you do you get used to it after a while then I just keep your head up keep drying that's really awkward say I'm not the best person I also advice but all right thanks a lot for the interview and I hope to see you see you soon my friend no problem all right
