And boom, we're on. And today's guest, we've got Paul Stockton. Paul, how are we? I'm good, thank you, James. How are you? Yeah, really well, thank you. First and foremost, thanks for coming on the show, Paul. I'll plug your book straight away, The Battle Within. Thank you, gentlemen. Where can people buy it? Amazon. Amazon, prison, addictions. cults religion god higher power a pretty mad story yeah it is but fair play you're still here to tell the tale while i'm still standing yeah yeah before we get into all the madness though i always like to go back to the start with my guest get more a bit of understanding about you where you grew up and how it all began
James English 1:07
I grew up in Turpentine Lane, which is Bromley Common in Kent. Yeah, well, that's all in the book anyway. And I went to school around there. Prince's Plain was my first primary school. And then Ravenswood was my second school, but I got kicked out of there at 13. And then I was out of school for another year or two. What did you get kicked out for? Just, by any means, normal. How was family life? Mum and dad, dad was like a bit more harsh than mum, but it was a pretty stable upbringing. But there was something missing with my dad, you know. We never seemed to see eye to eye all the time. Mum was like in the middle of us most of the time. This is what forced me to leave home at 15. Couldn't live with my dad anymore.
James English 1:58
We kept falling out and that wasn't good for my mum, you know. So that's where I really started going on the streets at 15 years old. What were you doing? anything I could to get money. I was rubbing shoulders with the right people then. I had someone called Uncle Alex. He wasn't my real uncle, he was my dad's friend. He was kind of a drug dealer, used to do iron robberies and things like that. A ladies man. And I kind of liked that about him, you know, and I kind of followed him. If I'd have followed my dad and done what he done, which was work hard in landscape gardening, I probably never got in all the trouble that I got into. But Alex, that kind of appealed to me. And I think that's something that addicts look for, that fixation on something.
James English 2:45
So, yeah. Sorry, what was the question again? Yeah, was your dad a working man?
Paul Stockton 2:51
Dad worked as landscape gardening, yeah. Was that a regret not listening to your dad or was it just so toxic?
James English 2:56
It is, I mean, it is. I kind of do that now, so...

How did Paul Stockton's upbringing influence his life choices?

James English 3:00
It taught me a trade, but back then I wanted more. I wanted it all. I wanted fast cars, nice clothes, money, do what I want, go where I want, that kind of thing. And the people in the manor who were doing them sort of things, I liked and uh kind of well my destiny took me that way didn't it and Uncle Alex with his like telling me little stories that he used to do it was like I want to be like you Alex you know did you gravitate towards the bad stuff straight away yeah yeah I guess so yeah I mean yeah yeah obviously some of the stuff i can't tell you because i've not been arrested for anything yeah but like all sorts of crimes whether it's like ring snatches and little tie-ups here and there you know well i think i can put it out there what about so when you're 15 on the streets trying to make a living for yourself what sort was it a petty crime at the stuff shoplifting no no no there's something i can say honestly say i was never a thief
James English 4:02
Well, worse, but not like of petty stuff. I was never breaking into people's houses and things like that. That weren't me. Mine was like, there was money somewhere, I'd go in there and take it. You know, mask up and that kind of thing. It was like on the pavement sort of thing that inspired me. And the people I knew who were older doing that stuff inspired me even more. Was it kamikaze jobs, or were you getting information? Some were kamikaze, yeah. Some were on the spur of the moment.
