Dear Sadmom23,
I am so sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time. As Retroheadz has said, it is really really important that you get support for yourself.
It is particularly important that you seek support when/if you are feeling suicidal. The Samaritans run a 24hour helpline on 116 123. They don’t judge or tell you what to do, just listen and support.
Best wishes,

Dear Twinkle,
I really am so sorry that you are feeling so alone. If you are feeling like you cannot carry on please talk to your doctor, who can arrange some support for you.
If you feel you are at risk to yourself, call the emergency services.
Very best wishes

Dear Psighco,
It sounds like this is all taking a serious toll on your well being. Your GP should be able to help you, either by pointing you in the direction of specialised alcohol family support or by attending to your health directly.

Dear Lulla,
FRANK runs a helpline that provides lots of good information on drug use and they should be able to talk to you about what to expect at your scan. Their number is 0300 1236600. I am sure you will feel much less worried once you have spoken to them.

Dear Lemminaid,
Well done for posting on this forum, and recognising that you and your sister deserve support. It is a really good idea to find out what is available in your local services, which you can do using the service finder map on Adam’s home page.

Hello KiraZ!
That sounds really tiring, and really painful. This forum will support you, however if you ever need instant words of support when you are feeling really down Samaritans is a good number to call, on 116 123.
Best wishes,
Clara
Hi Mil1234
I just had another thought – NACOA (National Association for Children of Alcoholics) runs a helpline if you want to talk to someone about what you are going through. Childline is also worth calling for advice and to get things off your chest.
Best wishes,
Clara
