About Me
I was born in Wales and have been a train driver in London which I've done for eleven years. I had a bad accident in the late 80's and started smoking 60 a day. I was smoking 30 when I decided to beat it and I'd worked out that I could have paid off my mortgage with the amount thats 'gone up in smoke'. That is very scary. I'm recently divorced with 5 kids and 8 grandkids with number 9 on the way! I was in a very damaging relationship (which mercifully just ended) with a drunk. It's one of the hardest thing I've done in my life as she's also suffering with depression, extreme rage and has a vindictive streak as long as your arm. Unfortunatly, I can't get the chat function (work computers.).
Interests
I love English history and I'm happiest in the kitchen making a mess and experimenting (cheese, onion, ham and marmite sandwiches rock!). I enjoy helping people when and where ever I can.

No complaints here. Life is getting back to normal. Most people have their lights and water back, and you don't have to wait in line for hours to get gas anymore, so that's a bonus haha. How are you?

Support Groups
Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery
Seriously, I have attempted to give up about 9 times with varied success (or lack of!. I have joined a help group and N.R.T. in patch form which seems to be working well. Gave up on 1st November this year (you can tell I'm English!) and so far have saved £300 (over$600) after 6 weeks.
Treatments
- Cold Turkey Not Working
- Absolute hell! I was miserable and snappy with everyone. Lasted 2 days.
- Nicotine Gum Not Working
- Why,oh,why does this stuff taste so bad?
- Support Groups Too Soon to Tell
- Very helpful to be able to discuss your experience with people who aren't going to pre judge you or become sarcastic.
- Willpower Not Working
- See 'cold turkey'
Close Alcoholism
I'm quite unusual. I drink about once or twice a week. I do not have a drink problem. So - why am I here? I live with the other side of alcoholism. My wife (who swears blind she doesn't have an issue) is one. I have to deal with the violence, the accusations, the nights of crying alternated with abuse everytime she drinks (which is every day.).
Open Families & Friends Of Addicts
Didn't know this part of DS existed so I joined the Alcoholic site. I really would reccomend it as it is inspiring.
Treatments
- Writing Working / Worked
- Well I'm doing it now so it can't be bad.
Open Breakups & Divorce
I can't go on with this relationship with a drunk, vindictive wife. I've tried all sorts of treatments, but nothing is good enough for her.
Treatments
- Forgiveness Not Working
- She hasn't cheated as far as I know, but she is always flirting and kissing other men.
- Love Not Working
- I've given my heart to her, but she keeps on throwing it in my face.
- Pets Somewhat Helpful
- I think I'm closer to my cats then her.
- Talking Not Working
- She always has to have the last drunk, slurred word. She won't let me speak, or she forgets 3 minutes after I have (on the few occasions she's actually let me.).
- Time Not Working
- I've been here for 6 years - and it's still the same.
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
I've always been fairly slim with a healthy weight. Then at about age 20 my metabollism waved a little white flag and next thing, Idon't know where my feet are.
Treatments
- Counting Calories Somewhat Helpful
- It was good, but a pain after a while. Some items don't have calorific information
- Dancing Not Working
- I have two left feet.
- Eat Less Not Working
- Hahahahahahahahaha! Eat less? Lasted 5 hours.
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- Worked very well - until I stopped going after reaching my goal weight
