Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that replied to me again, yesterday was tough but I got through it, I'm still alive and I'm still sober. Unfortunately, no definite answer was forthcoming which apparently is the norm so, still have a wait of four months before I can even ask what's happening if nothing materializes in the meantime.
Fear of the unknown is something that really bothers me and that I need to work on, it's that low level constant anxiety that gets to me. Time to knock this on the head and learn some proper coping skills.
Thanks again everyone
