Hello good morning to you. Thank you for kind words much appreciated. I love Italian Food culture cuisines as many references to music. One reason is practical sensible recipes more is less the saying. Cost not a lot. On benefit am messed about by DWP sometimes means no money three weeks while sorting out mess. Have lived on homemade soups all the time or simple meat veggies pasta and beans . Even I can make recipes and create magic with out messing it up. A common fault amongst my self. Mental health means have to write every procedure down, daft I know but it works bullets on A4 paper keep this for reference. New thing I have done is created a menu used cheats short cuts tricks tips. Using a range of available products including frozen veggies and store cupboard standbys. Despite the snobbery of using some products. Saves times and energy. I can not sit or stand very long so Italian is quick easy. Challenge my self do a five ingredients or less some recipes. Please be my guest have fun. Rules condiments do not count seasonings do spices use things like jars Pesto sauces so on. Favourite lots of them put these on sometime. Please thank you once again.

Hello Pleased to meet you how are you coping ? I am sorry feel this way had to say something. I never had felt like this for along time, how are you feeling ? Thank you for contacting me. In just do know what to think any more. I spent every day of my valuable time helping others. I never understand why people whom you speak to every day on line . Say massive part of your life and in reality hate you to cause so much trouble. Mentioned what I used to do, well this is painful. I will say this one of a number of volunteers on community websites . When Coronavirus came in to all our lives I was the one adding urgent specific information, giving heads up and lots of advice on posts. When your dealing with vulnerable isolated lonely people who rely on support teams find them selves struggling and have nothing. Plus those with mental health addiction any little problems up early hours mornings most days in to next night and days. Had to admit never heard so many stories of heart break and emotion. What a mess this Government causes. Please apologise long post please can I ask about you what you do and spend the time doing if you do not mind me asking. Anything I can do to be supportive offer friendship and compassion . Empathy sensitivity honesty . Please take care thank you for reading.

Hello every one I am a new member also been an alcoholic for thirty years now clean last thirteen. I understand many members or families loved ones have problems around alcohol leading to possible addiction. If you are concerned and do need some one to discuss with any issues problems I have a wealth of experience knowledge. Been through rehab services mental health services out reach services, also want to say have the information guidance and support net works if I can help please do. I also have supported advising those with alcoholism and it is a difficult every day on going situation. Even for my self despite being clean you have to remember the WHO World Health Organisation has stated alcoholism a disease which it is. I also have had insights and encounters from those still drinking still thinking not an alcoholic and use intimidation bullying to continue. As with any alcoholism the person themselves need to identify the problems can never say stop has to be done with specialist treatment and care. If you ever said to an alcoholic stop and they did for some reason the body reacts needs that drink withdrawn suddenly heart circulation problems could occur. Systems of the body are scarred deeply and can react to any of the symptoms of being an alcoholic, including bowel and stomach issues headaches nausea loss of appetite and shakes shivers loss of memory. Only way is specialist help support advice which I can give any one the facts clear precise information and advice. Understand the distress the pain and the anxiety. I would always advise to any loved one member who is a alcoholic to discuss with your GP. There are charities organisations and associations offer a plan an a lot of coping methods strategies which in my opinion are good only way is to go through rehab. I have been through many of these kept relapsing so used rehab community services. Called CAS Community Alcohol Service your local area will have one. I will always give the details of any organisations good to use but it the whole point of recovery is to make sure that you can cope with out alcohol. Since coming off I have to share and admit to you this a long process 18 months to 2years to be clean. Had to be strong took a lot of strength courage and also I lost many friends doing the process, sorry apologise but it happens. I can not be with other alcoholics or go the pub or drink with other people. Have no relationships for a long time as alcohol it seems the social way to meet. Add to that side effects health symptoms have blighted my life yes am clean but has caused me constant pain, aches . Muscle loss memory loss, walking struggling, social personal issues trust. Hearing loss eyesight loss already had that due to disability now made worse by addiction been told. Stomach bowel problems on long term meds at one time five in number different types to cope with Dementia Thiamine and drugs meds to get rid of pain unfortunately used cannabis in a teabag to help me reduce pain, again got addicted had to seek help again. So have that as well experience knowledge of medications drugs used courses funded by NHS local wellbeing services to benefit my own knowledge to educate myself. On mental health related courses wellbeing medications sleep and much more diet nutrition have got obtained qualifications in those. All is a worth while experience knowledge to pass on to those who are alcoholic. Please ask me any thing , new one is the units the confusion on units how much should I be drinking a common question, I will just say the Government says one thing says another. I will supply the information something I will do have a website but the recent levels have dropped or might have increased, meet so many bewildered. Talking of website these will help any one to understand anything about alcohol happy to include as well alcoholism. https://www.alcohol_anonymous.org.uk https://www.drinkaware.co.uk The last one has a lot on units and makes it clear easy to understand. The AA organisation offers meetings where that you attend have a sponsor.
