    • About Me

      Hi. I'm 39, divorced. I used to be a school teacher & hapilly maried, but lost all that. Now I'm a care-worker with the elderly & infirm. Ive been around AA for 10yrs, did 2yrs sober (2005-7), starting again now after a relapse. I also have manic-depresion, which slightly complicates things. Ive a dog and a home of my own. I drive legally now and am far less likely to kill someone (probly me). I quite like me & my kife now, just a bit lonely & dissillusioned
