So much crap on these boards about the perceived dangers of some drugs, make sure you take your 5-htp, pre-load, post-load bullshit. Yes it is bullshit. Because at the same time we have many many young people destroying their lives with alcohol.

The elephant in the house.

It's so sad but true. It's really not worth it.

Poor Tom :(
 
This happening has made me wake up. I'm going to quit the booze. I drink a stupid amount, daily, and I certainly have a problem.
 
man this has proper woken me up like.

guess i'm gonna stop with the excessive drinkin in memory of the poor bloke. like SHM said, it's mad this is a board all about your drugs, and it's this that happens.

damn.

hope you're doin ok ms ccf, or as well as can be hoped for. i can't even begin to imagine how it is..

Alcohol is one of the worst drugs! People seem to forget that. It's socially acceptable. Someone takes a gram of cocaine to the pub and its like 'OH MY GOD HOW DARE YOU'.....sit and drink 10 pints and stumble home, vomit and it's all 'Hahaha good night last night you put a lot away' Pffft.

yeah this is what pisses me off =\ i drink far far too much, and it's acceptable to my family, but the second i roll up stoned, they go 'OH YOU FUCKING JUNKIE'. I love my booze but i'll be the first to admit it can be the worst thing around. it's one of the worst drugs around and although the boy is gone, at least take some solace in the fact that it might make some people realise alcohol isn't something to piss around with. i know i have a huge drinking thing, but i'm a cocky fucker and i never thought it could get that far til now. i am so so sorry.
 
TOM a ONE OFF ~ much loved !!!

Tom was a unique individual with alot to offer<3 !!!
Very intelligant<3, very sharp;) witty=D and a bit of a well-loved loon <3 <3 <3 !!!

You will be very much missed and no character can replace you !!!!<3

Love to all his family and his beloved funky pants;) !!!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<3
 
I knew Tom as a kind, deep and very clever individual. I have never met anyone even similar to him before. Since I heard, I've been thinking about him an awful lot. We conversed on so many topics, we shared time and I did try to help him to cut down the drinking.

I was frightened something like this might happen. I feel just terrible.

My thoughts are for his family and especially Helen (CCF).


Love you Tom; miss you Tom; respect you Tom.

Love,
Sean
 
:( I would like to reiterate on the posts re: alcohol is socially acceptable and kills more ppl.

I drink alot too, only bcause it is legal and easy to get and so widely accepted. Drugs are no-no with s/o.

I, like alot of other ppl, i'm sure, cannot understand for the life of me , as well as for so many others that have been lost, destroyed or permanently altered by alcohol abuse)... Why this is so?? Why is this acceptible in the eyes of (most of) our governments??

<3 My best wishes to the family/ies and fellow Bluelighters on their journey along the path of mourning, healing, and recovery from the loss of someone ostensibly so dear..
 
so so sad. damnit be careful guys. not saying this was directly drug related but our lives our so precious. you will be missed mtgg, a very good BLr and the best kind. R.I. Peace friend.
 
I didn't know him personally.. But i busted out crying when I read his journal:

Had we but world enough and time

But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.

We go into the arena alone.

There are times and places, sometimes it hardly seems fair that they are so numerous.

Some could have been avoided, but it us inevitable that beyond our own consciousness and even our attempts to share the burden of loneliness, that we still go into the arena alone.

Everybody is lonely for this reason and it prepares us for those times when we will face ourselves.

What will pass through our heads during this time?"


May your life be loved, Tom, be rested for the next one.
 
RIP. My condolences to those who were close to him. :(
I wish I had more to say. Don't forget, he will continue to live on as long as he's remembered.
<3

That PC lasted a very very long time. It's still going just about okay...give it a minute or two. The monitor since broke so I left him mine.


It was both his doing and undoing. He was a functional alcoholic until no job and access to unlimited alcohol and lots of free time send him to the depths of the dionysian abyss. He recovers slowly from this. Yet he still has a computer, (1 of 2. Shoulders are above barriers and thats how you carry heavy pc towers, idiots!) was able to search jobs online and write all his job applications, effectively he pulled himself out of the gutter and lives a better life, yet still hopes for better. He now (ironically) works in a supermarket (where he spots them when noeone else does and lets them get on with their job as I do mine now, since the losses are already written up before the thefts happen) posts occasionally on BL using said computer (upgraded beyond recognition) and hopes one day to write a book.;)

Reading those lines though break my heart. I want him here.

Didn't know Tom, nor did I ever speak to him. I read many of his posts and so I knew a tiny snap shot of his life I suppose. He seemed like a nice guy, trying to battle through life.

I've never felt sad when a Bluelighter has passed away before. I am shocked to say the least that the guy's gone.

Best wisheds to you Helen and everyone else who knew him a whole lot more than I or many of us did.

RIP Tom.
