Maybe I should just let them refer me to the Rehabilitation and Recovery service. I'll ask for more details about it at next bloods. They just mentioned it at bloods two weeks ago but the psychiatrist didn't bring it up at my last appt. But he had no idea who I was or what my history is.

It's hard to really believe what I say in trribunals to make the panel know I understand the risks.
I should probably channel my obsessive nature into something positive.

That’d be a good idea Freedom but until then I’m going to get off your case about the water. I don’t want to interfere in your life. Just get worried about you. Turn into a ‘mother’, or something. Sorry.
You are doing so well with the alcohol and I don’t want to see that screw up because I’m hassling you out, adding to your anxiety, that’s for sure.
I hope you find your way Freedom.

97 days for me. The AV has been much quieter the last few weeks and I am very grateful for that. So for everyone fighting the fight and in the early days/weeks, it really does get better. Those first few weeks were really rough for me but here I am, sober and feeling better and you all can do the same!
I am committed to 24 more sober hours with you all. I won’t be picking up that first drink today. ODAAT.
Have a great Tuesday everyone

I haven't posted on this thread -- I'm at day 35 today and it's the longest I've gone since a 6 month stretch a year ago. Drinking is starting to become a little more distant memory, finally. These SR forum's, what others on here have kindly told me, what I now know and refer to as the AV, and everyone's own stories, has been a real help. So thank you all immensely, I'm very grateful for each one of you.

Jr went on a trip last night and I collected him at 11pm. Good to be sober and clear headed and a taxi driver Utterly shattered now though but we shall continue with the day
Hope everyone has a good day.
