11 weeks ago today I was dangerously drunk, psychotic and close to suicide.

Something had to change and I realised that I could not do this alone. Thanks to AVRT and this forum I am now in a much better place and continue to head in the right direction,

Having untreatable bipolar and AADD as well as physical health issues I will never be 100% but I can try and make myself as well as I possibly can be. 

The most important thing I had to do to achieve this was to remove alcohol from my life once and for all and that is exactly what I have done.

Thanks folks.

Beautifully done. Very much like your profile pic as well.

Stay strong and keep it moving. Things seem to only get better with the poison out of the picture.

Thanks lg. I took that photo in ancient woodland that's near to where we live.

Sweet, a similar photo in my neck of the woods would just be of tall buildings.

I also can relate to the quote in your signature. Even the pangs I have for a glass of wine after a hard day are just false remembrances of what the booze really became for me.

Here's to a better life.

Ah, there’s a lot of buildings and concrete between our house and those woods!



I was thinking about nostalgia and came up with that sentence, I'm so glad the rose tinted glasses have gone for good.

Yep, I’ll second that and thanks for your encouragement and support over the past few weeks, it’s appreciated.
