Good Morning!

Dearest @creative_writer

You have given me an understanding of that.

Thank you 💜🌻

yeah , I was socially awkward for years , prob had more than one year in primary school where I cant remember having any friends , then moved to dift school and everyone wanted to fight me . I did not fit in basically . so around 14 though hey I'll start drinking and smoking.

stop smoking a couple times, never really stopped drinking. in my late teens/early 20s I used to aspire to be in hospital/ get put in mental hospital, well at least I used to say that on the basis that I thought it might help me lol @creative_writer I have spent most of my lif alone. am over 60 now, then all this health Bs over the last 5 years like heart. blood clots, massive weight gain etc plus thyroid trouble and me looking for some medical solution to problem just to be told oh its all You . Oh well. wasnt me ..5 years ago watevs.

@PeppyPatti

Hi @TAB . I’m really sorry you’re going through a rough period right now and that I haven’t been around the forums for a while. I just want you to know that I care about you and that you are a great person.

I’m very glad you have listed some people in your plan about what to do about the alcohol issue you’re having and that you have some ideas about what can be of assistance. Have you tried reaching out to an alcohol specific service or specialist in your state or area to see if they can be of assistance to you? Maybe contact your local health service as another option? My housemate is doing a Tafe course on alcohol and other drugs and suggested the advice I listed so I’m hoping they may be of some assistance? I know that addiction is hard to deal with and get on top of - speaking from someone who got addicted to a medication at a mental health facility many years ago and had to learn new methods and coping strategies to overcome it - but I did get there and therefore, I believe you can do this as well with the right help and support. You’ve already started the process by listing things you can do to try and help you and I’m proud of you for this. You just need to find a way of enacting your plan and taking the next step.

Take care, forum friend.
