It's been almost a year since I was banned and I have been lurking/posting for the last 6 months or so from work since my home IP address is what's banned.
Today I reread the thread where I made my grand exit and I must say I was quite embarrassed by what I read. Seems the thread did have an upside from the pictures of hot ladies to someone requesting pictures of someones wife :thumbsup: .
Long story short, my Doctor had me on some pretty powerful anti-depressants that I abruptly stopped taking after being on them for 2 years or so, what ensued was the scariest time in my life. I remember almost nothing that took place for about 6 weeks after I stopped taking them.
I was unaware of the problems that the withdrawal would cause.
I lost my mind. I had uncontrollable shakes, brain shivers, violent outbursts, etc. I lost my job that I loved, almost quit my band that I love. My wife and kids were afraid of me ( although I never have or will lay a hand on any of them). I may not be alive if not for the love and time that I got from my wife and a few close friends. I seriously thought I was losing it. It was the worst thing I have ever been through.
I read that thread today and I must say I don't remember posting any of those things and see no reason why I did. I do vaguely remember talking to Laura tho.

That being said, I'm sorry to you guys/gals and Brad for being a dick on this forum. Anyone who knows me can attest that I am not that kind of person.

I just don't like being a dick.

That is all. :rock:
 
Wow..that's awful shit you've been going through..rig-talk is the least of your problems...Hope things get better for you.
 
Welcome back. Remember the internet is just faceless people saying sh*t. If something pisses you off or gets you down, just leave that thread and join in another. It's not worth your time or energy. Enjoy this place for what it is. A place to talk guitars, amps and other gear!

Rock on brother!
 
Guess I missed that. I thought you have been around this past year? I swear I have seen you post in threads. :confused:

At any rate, glad things are better now.
 
Shit happens and today is new day. Glad you got things worked out. :thumbsup:

Welcome back.
 
Glad things are better! Welcome back to the real you!
 
Welcome back and I am glad you are doing better. Those drugs will mess you up if you just quit cold turkey!!! Been there!!!
 
I can attest for Mike....Very cool COOL guy that I had the pleasure of meeting...and jamming with at an amp fest I held at my home a few years back. He was there along with several other Rig Talk members and it was a great turnout and glad to call him a friend. :thumbsup:

Would like to see the ban lifted from him as well. :rock:
 
Ah, no worries. We all go through tons of personal stuff that no one realizes. Glad things have gotten better for you. :)

Welcome back.
 
Welcome back!

Glad things have worked out! Nothing worse than going through issue with depression and combining that with medication that changes your personality.

Start fresh and move forward.

:thumbsup:
 
Thanks guys! :thumbsup:
Hopefully Brad will lift the ban so I can spew some drunken ramblings from home again! :rock: :lol: :LOL:
 
I gotta find the thread that got you banned....must have been some seriously wheels of shit, to earn a ban from R-T :lol: :LOL:
 
I'm new here So I missed it. Although I am 55 and have been a dick for most of my life. Good luck to you.
 
Sounds like a really tough time you went through. That said, anyone that's stands up and faces the music deserves another chance in my book. I hope everything works out for you and FWIW you certainly have my vote to lift the ban.

Dude that is dangerous as fuck. I'm glad you survived. I did the same thing a couple of years a go just to see what would happen. I was walking around in what felt like a constant dream state though I was awake. It was a really fucked up 2 weeks but I wrote some killer riffs in that time lol. But I will say one thing, I will never do that again.
And what's in the past is in the past. Live and learn. All people around here are cool and a forgiving bunch it seems like. Welcome back. :rock:
