I run Geos, load the virtual disk for Geo write, select to create a new document, put in a file name but then nothing happens. I cannot create a new document. Any ideas?

Well after years of dealing with a full stack, plus a 2x12 combo amp, plus a rack and giant pedal board, I treated myself to the FM9. Got a Laney 2x12 FRFR cab to go with it.

Should have done this ages ago. Finally a rig that can fit in my car.

I wanted to communicate. Mostly because guys like me are convinced that communication is weak.

But I'm US military veteran going through the worst time of my life. I've been over 20 years, my physical health is in the toilet, and my wife took my kid and left me.

I told people for so long I had the perfect life. But it masked an out of control alcohol addiction and me being absent in front of my family even though I was physically there.

I've lost my job, I've lost the majority of what made up my life.

But on a whim I put on Double or Nothing.

For the first time in so long, I don't want to be drunk. I want to be happy. I want to yell and mark out.

They say it's the simple thing in life and I can confirm that.

I've loved wrestling all my life but I forgot how powerful a thing can be, when you're so passionate about it.

I really don't have anyone to talk to, but I wanted someone, anyone, to know that tonight I've got a small victory...

I'm happy.

I struggled with mental health and alcohol as a result of service related health issues. Wife took our kid and left me after having me arrested for breaking a wall clock in front of her (and not our kid).

Spent a night in jail.

Immediately got myself linked with several treatment providers including medication.

Thought everything was going so well. Some bumps in the road, couldn't see my son on any holidays, only got breakfast with him on his 4th birthday.

Surely there's a way forward?

Found an apartment and got funding to pay for it and the move.

Settled my court case and got it down to a noncriminal matter.

Awesome right?

Two days after moving into my apartment I get told I'm being fired, with my health issues being thrown in my face. Appeal is denied because I was a federal employee and most of us in the US know we've been getting thrown away left and right.

Well that sucks, because the funding for my move was from a loan I took against my car. Great.

Now the military wants to kick me out for my health issues.

Wife uses that as ammo to deny me the chance to be in the hospital when our kid has surgery because it's documented I had an alcohol relapse in early April. They won't consent to any modifications to the order of protection for his medical procedures and instead all I get is supervised public visits when he's better.

I can't be there for my kid, I can't pay my rent, I can't buy food, my own immediate family is mocking my alcohol treatment and won't even buy me sandwich or anything.

The more good I want to do and the more efforts I make to get myself better, it just seems like the more I get looked down on and everything used against me.

In my state, if you lose your job because you didn't meet company policies, you get zero help from the state.

I have to get lawyers involved to get my VA disability claim moving as the VA denied it before I could even go to the scheduled medical evaluations for the claim.

For the first time in my life, I don't know what to do.

After over a decade I got my marching orders today. I've been fired just as the union got disbanded. No pip, no suspension, straight to firing using my health conditions against me. This includes my appeal being unsuccessful.

Now to figure out how to not be homeless.
