I committed suicide in 2015. I drank a 5th of whiskey, a bottle of wine while downing 30 serequel pills and 20 clonopin pills.
While I was waiting to pass out and never wake up, a voice told me "Michael. call 911" I was almost incoherent in my thoughts. The voice was insistent now "Michael, call 911". I never talked to myself in the 3rd person. It was weird.
I looked at my hand. The phone was there. I was never a phone person. I don't know where it came from. I dialed 911.
I explained to the person I had done the pills and drink. She asked if I could make it to the door. I said I could. I walked to the door and went outside. There was a police car driving up at that same moment.
It was as if it was meant to happen. He asked for my ID. I gave it to him. Then I was gone. I remember a little about being transferred to an ambulance.
I woke in a hospital bed 2 days later. I was happy. I could not understand it. I was happy. I felt good. I was telling jokes and having a good talk with the hospital staff as they were getting me ready to be transferred to a mental hospital.
I finally understood how the Lord saved me. I have never been the same, since. I can't explain it. I was saved and saved. I am not worthy but I was spared hell. I got healthy. I went from 250lbs to 170. I read my bible. My non military PTSD was a thing I could deal with without pharma.
I now take no meds. So, here I am, alone, no need for social appeasement. Only to gather the lay of the land and make dumb posts, sometimes. May you all be blessed as I have been. Thank you, Lord.
When the beat drops in Lakeba, even the police canโt resist! ๐๐๐คญ
Vinaka to the Fiji Police & the fierce ladies of Lakeba. Tradition came alive, and so did the cruiser! ๐ซ๐ฏ๐ฅ
Bula dina na soqo!!!!๐๐๐๐
Itโs the disgusting eating and drinking habits that we have adapted.
Everyday grog and smoking and curing it with cornbeef, tuna and noodles. With tea and spoonfuls of sugars.
I think we should not ask questions of ordinary citizens and their motives but on the govt and health infrastructure that cannot provide the service needed here or even subsidize/fully pay for the cost of the service overseas. Vinaka.
Why? The Indigenous Fijians are out here losing our iTaukei language. How about reinforcing that & not introducing a foreign language in the curriculum... It's not needed.
I miss the radio days without the internet. I was such a radio nerd
Grew up with FM96 and the very early days of 2day FM.
I would find ways to listen to the countdown on Sundaysโฆ the morning talk showsโฆetc etc. ๐๐พ๐ฅน
#TeamFiji as if we needed more reasons to appreciate what @fijdog did for us this weekend; hereโs some perspective that no one asked for. Maoli will play Sacremento this weekend. GA tickets are $475ea and VIP tickets are $836ea. Those are NOT resale prices, and that is in USD!
