Sorry should have been a bit clearer. I tend to make light of the phone calls. Just we had about 10 from one service user wanting his alcohol support worker. They're a completely different service to us and as he was getting more and more hammered, he got more and more frustrated and angry.

Honestly my heart goes out to him. 37 years old and his brain is mush. He reckoned his support worker was at the beach with every body.

Just seen Mo Farrah run, Incheroo. He's got a few weeks off now, why not give him a bell.

It was only when I typed that I realised that it had affected me, so I've had a few tears.

There but for the grace of whatever you believe in go I.

He kept saying he hadn't been out of the house in 3 weeks when we knew he'd been in hospital last week for a week. Fecking heartbreaking.

I know the feeling JC, don't know if you remember me mentioning the girl who came into my work about self harming, but i felt very very affected by that, it can be hard to not get involved in these things or take the struggles of other people to heart - especially if you can see yourself in them.

n art project is... i cannot get into the mindset to do it i'll be honest. I have never started a project sober - ever. I tried explaining my frustration to other half, but haven't been able to just come out with 'I don't know if I can do this without drinking'. I know everybody gets like that early on but alas I haven't the time to get to a point where i can work again naturally, n forcing it is just making me very frustrated.

I do sweetheart.

I never knew how widespread self harming was until I started at this place. It affects a lot of men too.

You can and will do this without drinking or I'll want to know why.
