I’m back again

i realy really struggle using this site on my phone it doesn’t help I’ve broke one pair of glasses ( three people have tried mending them but seems impossible) I don’t have £300 to but new ones, and technically that is the least of my problems, I wanted to talk but can’t see a damn thing, I couldn’t find my last list so started this one, basically wanted to say I’m still trying

You can absolutely do this Room - even without glasses

are you eligible for NHS assistance at all?

Good to see you back. I'm sorry about your glasses.

You can get sober as long as you want to be sober more than you want to drink.

I do get njs assistance, still will cost me lots for new glasses, oven needed new ones for about two years, and now the ones I did have I can’t eat as no one can put the lens back in. I’ll stop trying to post as can’t reaky see what I’m typing (I’ll come back when I can see again, (most of thatbisn auto correct) I am struggling with drinking (had a bad few days with rl stuff) wanted to talk but I’ll have to wait till I can actually see what I’m typing

Even with the NHS it still costs loads for glasses here in the UK - I don't wear glasses but a few of my friends go to Poundland and get perfectly acceptable glasses. They try them on until they can see, probably not optician standard but it makes life a lot easier x

Not sure if it would help, but i use readers from the dollar store to use my phone, tablet, etc.

I am not into giving advice on staying clean, I tell stories about me and others. If theremis a messege that helps...yay!

I had/have minor to moderate anxiety issues that were either caused or medicated by booze. I had no idea they were there.

I used to lash out at my coworkers sometimes. I don't do that anymore and I am embarrassed that I did that for decades. They probably didn't mind much otherwise I would have gotten in trouble.

Anyway, quitting hurt like hell. Suffering supplemented with exercise helped. Exercise goals are awesome.

I am getting older, but my strength is going up. Pretty sad and cool all wrapped up.

Thanks for the therapy.
