i was talking to my shrink at the pain clinic this morning (oh the shame)and she said how do you feel now your daughter is gone ,you are 50 and alone are you frightened for the future ,i said no my life is just started i have a new grandson and i'm doing ok

i have cut everything toxic or anything or indeed anyone that caused me grief from my life and without all the grief i'm sure i can take little steps and eventually find happiness

i likened how i felt to drowning in a dark lake and i was deep underwater and in big troublenow i have taken out all the bricks from my pockets that were dragging me under ,now i can see the light at the surface and saving myself is so much easier

i used to drink to help me get over my pain little did i realise i was the drink that stopped me from dealing with the very things that caused my pain
