  • You Hoo........

    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.

    Mods, if you find the following unsuitable please edit.

    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.

      Lumpy I'm so pleased you're back. You have been missed greatly.


      Don't beat yourself up about anything lumpy. 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

      Now can someone please get our lumpy a cuppa and cake so she can catch up with vine shenanigans

                So glad you’re back my dear. Was worried to death about you.
                You’ve had some tough times in the last years, I know.
                I can join you on the no alcohol thing, got a fatty liver, so am being real careful about the booze.
                Just glad to hear from you gal

                  So glad you are back Lumpy. You have a huge amount on your plate to cope with. Just remember we are here to lend an ear if you need it.

                              I am so pleased to see you back Lumpy I admire your strength for being so honest. I'm not quite as brave as you are, but I know what it's like to fall down a black hole of whatever it is. Drinking isn't my thing, but I have suffered with depression in the past, and the last couple of years have been really tough for me for other reasons. Gardening and growing veg has kept me going, and this wonderful community we have here have supported me, unknowingly, through my tough times. Whilst there is so far no light at the end of my tunnel, i have wonderful friends, wonderful hobbies and a wonderful online community to keep me going

                              Welcome back, and we'll keep going together, taking each day as it comes
