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.

Well - that's that out of the way. We (well she) had a massive arguement and I was told to sling my hook, so I did. Moved back to my own flat …

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 ex 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
Open The Financial Crisis
Like everyone else in the world - I'm starting to watch what I spend. I owe $65,000 due to my stupidity with credit cards and secured loans. 3/4 of my paycheck is just spent on 3 items: mortgage, loan repayment and IVA payment. (An IVA is a government thing in the UK which after 5 years will wipe out 75% of your debt after 5 years and you only repay what you can.)
