19:57I'm doing a good bit of walking lately because I've booked the Camino
20:01you have not?
20:02no
20:03oh yeah
20:04my life only started when I gave up drinking
20:07it'll be 20 years ago this year since I gave it up and it's the best thing I ever did
20:11in my life
20:12my greatest achievement
20:15no I'm not doing the whole lot of it
20:18no I'm not doing the whole lot of it
20:20why?
20:20it's too fucking long
20:21I wasn't happy
20:23I wasn't happy it was fair from happy and I used to go to the pub for three or four
20:28points
20:30and that was the story of my life but I never left after three or four points
20:35have you ever done it?
20:36I have not and I never will I'll be second taken off
20:39you must be joking me
20:43relationships when I was younger
20:45people
20:46I grew up with people, women and it wouldn't last long
20:50and they'd all tell me I'm a lovely person but
20:52they never told me the but
20:55but I am convinced now that but was I was an alcoholic
20:59something I want to do I'm totally on my own
21:02I think I never really went anywhere without people before
21:06there was somebody with me or whatever
21:07and it's meant to be a spiritual kind of journey
21:10yeah
21:12it's how to be come for us own totally
21:14you know but I
21:15it's a challenge
21:17well done you
21:18I haven't done it yet
21:20it doesn't matter
21:21when I got married
21:23I found a girl that loved me
21:26and I was afraid to let her go
21:29because I believed nobody else is going to love me
21:33and that's part of the reason I married that girl
21:37you know I'm so insecure of myself
21:41and that's how I put all that down to alcoholism
21:45I've learned to be comfortable on my own
21:47be happy
21:47yeah I'm content
21:49I've learned to like myself
21:52I think
21:53because I never liked myself too much
21:56but since I've been on my own
21:57I've learned to like myself
21:58I'm not that fat a person really
22:00believe it or not

37:35yeah
37:35which i'd never seen before
37:37did you go out on the scene much?
37:39very no
37:39very shy
37:40so i was trying and trying and trying but still very shy
37:43are you going like the gay scene?
37:45yeah like i'm still relatively new to this
37:50i used to go to the bar beside the george
37:53i could hear the phone inside
37:56but i was too nervous to go in there by myself
37:58i always had to be a little bit drunk to walk in and stuff you know?
38:02especially panty bar
38:04because you know how you walk in
38:05yeah it's a bit daunting
38:06all eyes on you
38:07yeah you know what i mean?
38:08it's like a walk of
38:09yeah you know
38:10you know
38:11i couldn't live my life in poland as a gay person
38:14so that was the first main reason why i left
38:17the place i lived you know?
38:20it was like a gang's everywhere
38:21drugs everywhere
38:23everybody expects for me to prove
38:25what a man are you
38:26you know?
38:27everybody wants to fight with you and everything
38:29and i was none of that
38:31and i was pretending to be someone else for a long time
38:35and it was painful
38:36to hide how soft i was inside i had to become
38:41you know?
38:42so i was like i'm doing all of these bad things and everything
38:45but inside me i was terrifying
38:46okay
38:47you know?
38:48every day was a challenge for me
38:49just because i was scared that if they would see that softness inside me
38:53i'm gonna be in trouble
38:55so then after school when i was going back home
38:58and there was nobody at home
38:59closing the door
