Truckers do have a heart as large as their trucks.

I have been meaning to mention this group they are working to save the girls from the streets and truckstops all across the nation and world. I posted this on Pandora's Aquarium and had to post it here it needs to be seen.

Besides all of the abuse I suffered in my life it I nothing compared to the suffering of the women and children and yes men who are sold as slaves and pieces of meat to supply demand for labor and sex. I recently told a member on her about how got involved with this group and here it is. I was a truck driver and drove all 48 states and Canada and the truck stops are always full of prostitutes. I compare it to seaports. I belong to an organization called Truckers Against Trafficking and we pass out info to the drivers asking them to make a call when they see obviously to young girls in the lot working or girls who do not know where they are or are being watched. We ask them to call the cops to save the girls. What got me involved and I hope this does not trigger you. I was walking to my truck and I passed a truck with the door open and a girl leaning in giving the driver a bj I looked at the girl and I knew she was young just by her size, I reached up grabbed her shorts and pulled her down the driver yelled but closed his door and drove off. I looked at the girl and she had track marks up and down both arms. A guy came running who was her pimp telling me to let her go I pulled my gun and made him sit down and we waited for the cops, turns out the girl was 11 years old and was from Iowa and I found her in Louisiana. 1000 miles from her home. The cops arrested the pimp and it was amazing how many times he kept falling before he managed to get in the squad car amazed he did not kill himself. At the time this happened the organization did not exist. I just an eye on the ladies in the truck stops and stopped calling them what the rest of the drivers called them Lot Lizards. I am retired from driving but I still go out to the truck stops around Atlanta and post bulletins and hand out flyers asking the drivers to make the call when they see obviously to young girls to please save them. I am proud to say I have saved 6 ladies and girls and always pray I could have saved more but I am only one man and I still have not stopped trying,, below is the link the website so you can see that those big monster trucks that pass you on the highway do contain hearts just as big as those trucks.

Interesting news Psilocybin might have  good medical uses in low dosages for PTSD patients this would be great news. It is reported to eliminate the fear response in test mice. Not saying I am a mouse or anything but I know that fear response all to well and it sucks. Here is the news report about it.

Ever since I got out of cottage C and started group I have been obsessing/researching what I am going through and with being in IOP and my Therapist and me doing this I think I am potentially harming myself. Not intentionally either this time, I am just so curious about what is happening and wanting to make it all stop now!!! What I am learning in group are coping skills and that it is not going to be a fast recovery, a recovery yes just not as fast as I would like. I am thinking of putting all my books aside all of my online sites aside except for the one I can actually chat on with others that is a fun place believe it or not. Heck let me plug them MaleSurvivors.Com great place for men dealing with all sorts of issues.  And of course I have this my blog where I can bore as many as I can get to read. I hope I do not bore too much really I am just learning how to share and it does suck. Anywho look for y’all in the trenches 

Sorry these are not in the proper order I am pulling them from posts on forums I have been on and I am feeling to lazy to change them around for now.

I have been looking and reading different web pages and forums for a while now and have discovered that there is almost nothing for males. There is help and support when we are children or adult survivors of abuse, but when it comes to being abused as adults I can hardly find anything. How many of us have read stories of men who try and report a rape only to be discounted or ignored. Or we are pushed off to a gay group, Orientation usually has nothing to do with the rape and this could only make the man shut down even farther. Something has to be done we cannot let our bothers suffer alone like we have. I am not sure what I am going to do hell I am still in therapy but this pisses me off to no end. Why did I have to try killing myself to get help why did I have to look so hard to get information? I think I might have found a reason to keep going on even if it is just to piss off the establishment and rock the boat a little. Thanks for letting this old man ramble.

 I do not know where this came from but I have decided that I am not going to hide anymore. I am not going to lie to my work mates about why I have not been in or friends at church for the same reason. I have posted on my blog about being in IOP and group and wanting to set u some sort of group for men locally, I even posted the same thing on my Facebook page screw them if they can not handle it I have had too for 55 years. ok nuff said for now

To many children end up in Juvey or jail because they are treated like criminals

Men and ASA help or should say What ASA help!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in the process of gathering information and contacts to set up some sort of outreach for men where I live. I am still in therapy myself so doing it right now would probably push me over the edge but at least I am gathering my eggs so I can proceed when the time is right. Where I am going to IOP: “Intensive Out Patient Therapy” there is a ASA,,” Adult Survivors’ of Abuse”  consular who agrees there needs to be something more and is going to help me. Part of the problem is ourselves we do not report. We suck it up hell nothing can hurt us we are men big strong John Wayne tough guys. Bull CACA!!!

I think and this is only my thinking that we need to help the younger generation to stay strong and tough but to also realize there will be times in there life it is OK to ask for help. How do we do that I have not the faintest idea I will leave that for the brainiacs. 

What do we do now for  men is to get groups formed dealing with men and their issues and yes I know they are going to be pretty lonely for a while but I am hoping with good advertising and exposure more men might reach out for help. OK enough of me rambling.

Have the best day you can I am trying to!

I am going to add a couple links to websites that have helped me and I hope they will help someone else
