Hi my name is Richard been a while since I last posted I worked in the NHS and it made me ill with severe depression from which I self medicated with alcohol ,after a long long journey I have come out the other side , the alcohol has been binned and I am now feeling great ,with a new job and start, I would say if you are determined you can do it , I had all the symptoms which are now gone through the alcohol ,numb fingers ,painful leg joints and lethargy , used to come on here often but have spent the past few years rebuilding ny entire life.

There are positive stories out there and you can be one of those too .

It takes willpower galore and self belief and perhaps counselling to get rid of the demons ,and time plenty of it.

I have never felt so relaxed for years though.
