Lumpy the Elefant,
Unpacked her trunk,
And, shouted ‘Hello’
To the Grapevine,
She come back with a
Trumpety thrump,
Wiggle, wiggle, grind.
First off - I would like to say a HUGE thank you for all the messages in my last post. You lot made me cry and bless you for it.

OK. On the 21st of Jan something happened that rooted me to the floor and forced me to think about what I was doing to myself. It had nothing to do with the OH EOD, DWP, Medical stuff or Social Services. It was about me.
I finally accepted the fact (which I’d known for ages) that I’d become alcohol dependant. When the OH was first diagnosed it helped me cope but eventually became a daily necessity akin to breathing.
I stopped drinking on the 22nd Jan. I’ve seen the quack and, whilst holding my head down in self inflicted shame told him everything. Blood tests have shown that I have caused myself spectacular damage which should slowly improve.
I have not had a drink since. I’ve opened up about this to show any reader who is doing the same as I was that they are not alone in the fighting of glass wrapped demons.
What I’ve been doing to fill my craving brain in the garden will follow eventually.
I’m sorry that I’ve missed so many threads but give me a few days and my well known capacity for serious input will become noticeable.

. You have been missed greatly.
. We all fall off the rails in lots of different ways at some point. You should be incredibly proud of yourself for admitting to a problem and doing something about it. I've said before and I'm happy to repeat myself. You're a special lady
