Quoted from tayamo:If I you have purchased parts from me, that you have not received, please just open a case with PayPal, and you will get your money back.
I'm really sorry for the and hardship I have caused to anyone. I can only say this. Life has been an enormous struggle of late. I lost my job, and I've been in a recovery program dealing with an addiction. It's been hard just keeping my head above water. I'm slowly putting my life back together, but I will admit, I've compartmentalized a whole bunch, and I've been completely avoiding my problems in the pinball world. This is not a good way to live, and I feel bad that it caused any of you angst and heartache. I really am sorry to have hurt any of you.
I've removed myself completely from the parts business now, so that I don't create these problems again. I gave my last pinball machine away two weeks ago, and I am now sticking strictly to recreational playing.
Again, if there is anyone out there to
Thank You sir I wish you godspeed on your recovery!
This kind of thing really requires you to go through it to really understand it (addiction) Some folks are just not going to get it because they haven't lived it. There is no sense in trying to make them understand, you just shrug and move on. It is what it is. Hopefully they will never have to experience it for themselves. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!
Quoted from RWH:I have a brother who is and has been addicted to pain killers (vic's, perks etc.) and it is not only the physical addiction they contend with, their brains actually get re-wired and the thought process is completely changed and must be dealt with as well. My brothers addiction was not intentional, he was on pain killers for his back for a couple of years before he finally got it fixed. He struggles with it each day and I try to help him as much as I can without enabling him which is hard to do because it's walking a such fine line. He will finally be going into a rehab (day after Thx Giving) where they work with both the physical and psychological aspects so I'm thankful for that everyday. Tayamo is making an effort to correct this situation so lets please bare with him and give encouragement to complete the process of healing. As I stated earlier in this thread, I don't support what he has done but I do support his efforts to get clean and make amends when and where possible. He will have a lonely and hard road ahead of him but it can be done with just a little help from others.
I am glad your brother survived it! I had a friend that did not. Paul did the same thing. He broke his back on a job site and was put on Opioids for pain. He became addicted fairly quick and overdosed. Give your brother all the energy and support you can give and he will emerge from this a better man!
