Morning,

I would like to say thank you for commenting and providing words of wisdom and encouragement.

I also want to apologise for any stress and concern caused. As I haven't spoken to my family yet, I've been unable to answer calls (if my family overheard) or log back on to respond until now.

Police did knock on my door yesterday due to my recovery diary post which was the most difficult situation as I haven't told my family yet, however my partner was in the garden and was unaware. Although fully understand the reasoning for the check in, so thank you for the support and again apologise I've been unable to respond until now.

It has not been easy. I had a GP appointment on Friday, signed off work for 2 weeks to focus on my situation and take that stress factor out.

I will focus on stepchange, counselling and various support tools going forward. Although my worst and most difficult discussion is still to be had with my family in the coming weeks. In my head I'm waiting for the right moment, but there will never be one but they are my world and hurting them will be the worst.

Day 1 recovery has started again and I'm  looking to utilise the relevant tools, diaries, support others in the same situation and try find a way through this difficult situation where I'm rock bottom.
