Community Fundraiser for our very own Lee650

[AndyTravis]

Hello lovely folk.

 

im going to close this in 2 days. 
 

if anyone wants to add to this amazing total for Lee.

 

i think he’s got a flat sorted and we can cover his deposit - that would alleviate a huge amount of stress x

Late to the party but I think I’ve just made it, I wish Lee well for the future!

Up this goes again.

Bunged a few quid - hope it works out!

[AndyTravis]

So. This amazing fundraiser has been closed.

 

I’ve messaged Lee with the details.

 

I want to thank each and every one of you who’ve donated and supported.

 

How wonderful that it’s 2 years to the day since I last saw him gigging - he’s a truly phenomenal player.

 

If you get a chance to see any of his bands play - you’ll not be disappointed.

I dont know what to say, other than thank you all, in very lucky to have so many people who care.

 

Im making positive steps, ive started therapy to manage my depression. Im trying to give up alcohol (only two and a half weeks, but every day counts) eating better and no caffeine.

 

Some playing oppertunities have came my way which will hopefully open doors, if asked 2 months ago id have made a BS excuse and said no, im not doing that anymore.

 

Importantly my wife and i have finally opened up to each otherand while too late to save the marriage, l feel we can (in time) become friends and love each other in a different way.

I feel like a light has been switched on and i can finally see clearly how this has come to pass. Heartbreaking but regrettably a common story.

 

Some of you have offered very kind and shared your stories with me, and every one has helped me as i grieve.

 

Once again, i am humbled by the generosity youve all shown, and you've taken a big chunk of stress off my shoulders.

This. And I know the struggle, being 33 years sober.

Some days will be easier than others, but just focus on the reason why you stopped and not the very many reasons why you should stop stopping and hopefully you'll get through.

Nah the place is just a place. 

 

The people in the place are what makes the place ace.
