The DHI AllotmentAs a service user of DHI inBath I was told of a gardeningproject on their allotment in
Victoria Park and being a fan
of anything natural I thoughtId give it a shot.
I was introduced to Louis Wearing and hisenthusiasm or all things green was veryencouraging. I started coming on a regularbasis and there was always a lot to do,rom planting veggies to hard lanscaping tojust chilling out and relaxing by the pond,eeding the goldfsh.
I can highly recommend getting involvedi you are in need o some meaningul
occupation, and getting back on track, Imhoping to get into a gardening career and setup a little business selling veggies to peopleon low incomes.

Jt: W md you dcd o b
Lbrl Dmocr?
DF:Well, I was a Liberal before
the Liberal Democrats wereformed in 1981. I only received mymembership card two days beforeI won the election to become aCouncillor. I guess it was becauseI believed in the liberal values ofthe importance of the individualand respecting civil liberties. Thetwo key policies for me that I waspassionate about were anti racismand support for the less well off,
particularly older people who werebeing treated badly by the thenGovernment.
Jt: t quo my m

lbum?
DF:My favourite book changesall the time but at the moment I
am reading Chris Mollins diaryvolume II. It gives an amusingand informative insight into lifein Government from a Cynic. Interms of food I eat absolutelyeverything, I love it all so cantthink of a particular favourite. Ihave tried everything from sheepeyes to Nshiam in the Bush in
Africa. My favourite album wouldbe anything by Bob Dylan, perhaps
Blood on the Tracks.
Jt: You oud l m r my

DF:Yes, my son and his family livein Australia so I try and visit everythree years, I have most recently
been on a canal boat holiday inShropshire with my Grandsons.I love visiting France, Italy andGermany. I have a huge passion for
Africa, I have only visited throughwork and have never holidayedthere. I would like to visit India orSri Lanka, I like active holidays, Ihave never been one to laze by aswimming pool.
Jt: how muc p o ml?W w o you r ll

DF:Well I am waiting to see
more detailed plans for theproposed pedestrian areas forthe centre of Bath. I want to
see proper consultation andprovision for cyclists and whatthe arrangements are going to befor buses and taxis. A concernof mine is the impact on isolatedpeople, particularly the elderlywho may rely on taxis to get to thecentre of Bath. They would haveto pay a large amount for a farethat takes them round the longerway which strikes me as crazy. I
want to see a properly worked outtransport package.
Jt: W do you o Dhi

DF:To be honest it does not matterto the people who matter most,the service users. They just need
help and dont care what you arecalled. The new name is a better
way of explaining the servicesoffered. In the past, for people
who were homeless, too often justtheir housing needs were looked atand addressed. But homelessnessis not the only problem, in practicethere are usually wider issues suchas alcohol and substance misuse;family breakdown; and mental
health to contend with. The newname reects this and the widerrange of problems people face.The most critical part of the nameis the emphasis on independencefor all people.

DF:Well the simple truth of theCoalition is that we couldnt siton the fence. We tried to do adeal with Labour but they walkedaway. What were we supposed todo? Let Tories form a MinorityGovernment? Let me tell you,things would have looked a lot
different then. We had no choice.I do feel that we have had asignicant inuence. All but oneof the platform issues that I havecampaigned on, I have delivered.The exception being tuition fees.
This time last year, we did notthink we would have been in aplace where we made policy, ratherthan commented on it from thesidelines. Liberal Democrats have
insisted on a higher addition tothe tax on banks, so now they arepaying substantially more as theyrightly should towards the messthey have created. Our debt of2.5 billion is more than the total
we spend on schools. or every 4we borrow, we pay 1 in cripplinginterest repayments. We pay 100million in interest repaymentsalone. We have also helped to
retain civil liberties.

DF:If your money changes, thekey word is if. A lot of peoplecurrently on benets are notgetting the benets they are
entitled to, the system is soconfusing and so many peoplemiss out. The new system is morecomprehensive, we are addingsimplicity to tax credits andmaking benets easier to access.
We dont want people to be in theposition where they are betteroff not working. At the momentpeople cant do a bit of work
without paying heavily for it withtheir benets. We want to makeit easier for people to go back to
work. These latest changes willonly affect new claimants and willonly be phased in, in 2016. But
yes we are reducing some areas ofbenet; we have to as our budgethas ballooned. We cannot havepeople claiming housing benetliving in signicantly better housesthan those who are working hard.
We need to apply the principleof fairness while ensuring thatthe broadest shoulders carry the
biggest burden.

DF:Well remember that when
you draw your pension, it will bea guaranteed minimum pension.The thing I was really concernedabout was the abolition of mobilitysupport for those living in CareHomes. This is something Icampaigned for vocally on the oorof the House of Commons andsomething that was scrapped.
Jt: so wy ould i vo or Lbrl
Dmocr g?DF:Well Im not sure you should
be making that decision yet, its tooeasily to judge but much has beenachieved already. We are helping
vulnerable people, increase civilliberties and make wise choicesabout the economy. These aretough times bloody tough times but I believe we have made gooddecisions. The past Government
have got us in the position wherewe are spending more on debtrepayment than the whole schoolsystem. This cant go on. As LiamBryne said there is not moneyleft, so we need to start creating it.

Iwaited for a very long time forthe new Pier to be rebuilt andopen, so when it did, I purposelygave it a few days before I went
to see it, hoping the expectedcrowds would diminish before I gotthere. It wasnt the case though,it was positively heaving with
visitors. I was astounded at thechanges that had been made.
The rst thing I did was getmyself a hot dog half way up. Not
just some ordinary run of the millhotdog this, it was one of the oldfashioned ones about nine incheslong with one of those special kindof sausages that I havent beenable to nd for years. With onions,mustard and red sauce it was very
enjoyable but a bit messy.The very small transport train is
still running if you dont want tomake the couple of hundred yards
walk to main amusements. I wassurprised to nd that smoking
was still permitted even after thedestructive re of last time but it
was only allowed outside the mainevents building.
There is now a bar on the
Pier unlike before but is veryexpensive so I gave that a wide
berth. The toilets are large andvery well maintained with regular,thorough cleaning undertaken.There were the usual countlessgaming machines. There is a new
Ghost train and Crazy house bothof which are far superior to theold versions. The Pier has been
built over three levels now withprivate hire available for weddings,conferences and parties. There isan intricate go-kart track, dodgemsand lots of very futuristic andhighly modern, state of the artrides which cost round about aver a go but very impressive.
There are ice cream parlours andcafes and restaurants.
Only criticism was once I hadmanaged to make my way toonly the second oor, it was verydifcult to nd your way downagain, even some of the staff
apparently didnt know! Obviouslydesigned to encourage you tohave a good wander round before
you left.While I was, for the most part
very impressed, I thought it wasa bit overcrowded with the manymachines, not a lot of room tomanoeuvre and maybe its my age,
but I think I preferred the old one.Having said that, it is still well
worth a visit, even for just a hotdog.Alan Cupit

This is the last time youll ever

In our addiction, we seldomthink of others; our lives areusually based upon our own
wants and needs. We becomeselsh and just think of ourselvesbut we reach a point where
our lives become hopeless andwe feel powerless even to helpourselves. Addiction takes youdown to a point of nothingness.Each day becomes a battle;we become driven by the needto obtain our drug of choice;we live in a world of pain andmisery, lose our friends andloved ones, fall foul of the law.Responsibility to others and
ourselves becomes non-existent.Accepting you have a problem
is not easy. Your addictionusually denies having anyproblems, i.e., I havent got aproblem, I feel ne, thank you,etc. My own addiction has takenme down many roads, usuallyinvolving police, probation,prisons, psychiatric evaluations.Theres nothing nice about
addictions. Denial is not a riverin Africa, as the saying goes.We all fear irrationality, ofmaybe being judged by others,ostracised by friends and family- the list is endless. If we decide
in all this that we dont want alife of fear, anxiety and paranoia,that in itself is a decision towardsa better life. Theres no pot ofgold at the end of the rainbowbut you will see the rainbow as a
beautiful creation.You have a right to be here,
a right to a better life. Helpothers where you can. There is
a certain benet in unselshlyhelping others; it takes you outof yourself. Lifes not easy foranyone. Be good to yourself,treat yourself with respect andbenets will follow. I always
had low self esteem and selfworth but thats improved forthe benet of myself andothers around me.

Bath is BeautifulService user Gordon talks about his new optimism...
After years of abusingmyself I entered anOptions programme
on the south coast. I had a briefmeeting with a doctor and hepointed his nger at me and saidI was good for rehab. I startedmoving from drink to drugs - Ifound I could do it on my own,but it became a vicious circle.
This went on for several months,but I started going to meetingsand met this one particular guywho started making real senseto me. I was in Salisbury by thattime, and I spent two weeksin detox ... off all of the stuffI was on - Valium, Cocaine,Tamazepam, Methadone,Alcohol it was horric! Afterthat I felt very vulnerable and
feared for my sanity. I realisedI really wasnt very well ... Idhad condence with drink anddrugs, and without booze, oranything, I felt lost. I becamescared at going out into thewild world ...
Anyway, I got on a fast trackrecovery plan at FrenchayMews, and spent some timein Weston Super Mare (who
have been very important inmy recovery). I started havingfeelings I didnt recognise,and was scared at rst. ButI saw other people gettingbetter around me and it slowlydawned on me that I needed toget to the root of the problemby re-living my life from thebeginning. Around this time,people said being aroundme
was standing next to a pressurecooker ... but after intensecounselling I started to feel anew calmness and I started toview life in a different way.
Approaching the end of my 5
month stay in Frenchay I knew Iwasnt completely right and felt if I was really going to avoidrelapse I needed a careerchange (Id previously workedin the building industry). SoI found a dry house throughDHI, and Ive been keepingbusy doing pre-counselling,
Maths, English, working atthe allotment, Fishing andgoing to the lm nights. Imlearning more about computersas well now, and doing somevolunteering. Im trying to givea little back now - and DHIdeserve it. They have been ahuge help to me - Im still doingthree groups a week, and I havea One to One with a worker
thats going really well.This has been the happiest
January Ive had in a long time,feel really upbeat and positiveabout my future. Ive been cleanfor a year now, which feels like a
very big milestone and the Xmascard from DHI really lifted myspirits, so thanks for that.
So whats next? I think its abrighter and better future forme - very optimistic. Ive givenup smoking as well this year,and the DHI gym card is helpingme get back into shape.
And if I had to give anyadvice, Id say, keep it simple.I dont watch TV, I write a lotdown about my experiences, Ilisten to the radio and I keep acalendar. Ive grown to hateTV - the one eyed god as Icall it ... and Ive started to eatmuch helathier than I have ina long time.
Its funny, but Im starting to
see things differently as well -Bath is beautiful, and Im onlyjust nioticing it now.
And to cap it all, Ive lostsome weight - couple of stonein a year or so.

DHI works the phones...ByJames Henley
10 Off The Wall No.21, Spring 2011
DHI has launched a newscheme which aims to helpservice users to nd work.
Ring the Changes is a socialenterprise project that relies ondonations of mobile phones toemploy service users. This is the
rst project of this type to bestarted in Bath and if it goes wellDHI will be starting others. Thewhole idea of the scheme is thatwe collect as many mobile phonesas we can, from places such as,staff, friends, family and local
businesses.I am the rst staff member to
be employed by the scheme. Myname is James Henley. I had
suffered from addiction for halfmy life and the last time I worked
was 2005. As with many others Ifound it very difcult to nd workdue to my time out and criminalrecord. The Ring the Changes
project has given me somethingto aim for and will help mesecure other jobs in the future.
When the phones are donatedwe log, check them and sell themon in many different ways, suchas Ebay and specialist recycling
companies. All proceeds goback into the scheme which, inturn help employ the staff andhelp towards the employment ofother service users in future.
Any mobile phones would behelpful to the DHI. The fact isthey dont even need chargersand they may not even work.
All phones would go towardsthe continuation of the project.
You can donate by bringing allyour spare and unused phones toDHI. There will be drop boxesand other ways to donate in thefuture, just keep an eye out for theprogress of the project.

Hi All, My name is Andyand Im a service userrepresentative here at
Warmly and Yate. Overthe last few months Ive becomeinvolved in helping to gatherservice users experience of
treatment so that the folk thatprovide our services can look atenhancing what they do. Its beena really liberating experience
being involved and having aninput into the services we get. I
was invited to a Conference forservice users the other week.I was asked for my opinion ontreatment services and was asked
what was happening here in
South Glos around the issues oftreatment. Being able to shareideas with other service userforums from across the countryis really positive stuff! And I
recommend all of you gettinginvolved.
I have realised that thesupport I have had fromother service users has beena really important part ofmy recovery. From whateverdirection we have come from,
we all arrived at the same point.Most desperately needing the
services we get. We all have ourexperiences, and we all achieve
what we can in stages. Bycoming together, by sharing, wecan support each other and passon our experiences to promote
change, and making our servicesbetter for those that will followin our footsteps.
To that end Im appealing toall South Glos servicer users outthere to come and get involved. Irun the SUV (service users voice)
where service users get togetherto discuss their experiencesand put forward new ideas and
comments of the service so thatI can pass that on to the peoplethat provide the services for us.Come along and support me,
bring your ideas and suggestionsand we will see what changes
we can make! The next meetingwill be Friday February 25th atTower Road North at 3pm and Ireally hope to see you there.
Also we are trying to establish
2 healthy Peer Support groups inboth Warmley and Yate. This isa group run by service users, forservice users and is so benecialto all the service users involved.They run once a week and are a
wonderful support network forservice users moving on fromtreatment.
So please folks, get involvedand help each other out. For
more information on whatsgoing on for service users pleasecontact me on 07900547156 ore- mail me [email protected] Ilook forward to hearing from youand seeing you all soon!!!

SpamalotA musical to laugh with and love unconditionallylA truly magical musical fromEric Idle and John Du Prez
who won a Tony award forBest Musical. The main stars
were Marcus Brigstocke, AmyNuttall from Emmerdale andTodd Carty from Grange Hill,
Eastenders and The Bill. Therest of the cast certainly deserverecognition. Especially thedirector, Christopher Luscombe.
A musical comedy about thelegendary King Arthurs questto nd Knights to join his roundtable in Camelot and assist himin his search for the Holy Grail,
with the help of the lady of thelake who presented him with his
sacred sword, Excalibur.A mixture of fun from two of thefabulous Monty Python lms.
In was my rst visit in years tothe Theatre Royal in Bath and
while I perhaps should have opted
for a better seat, it was still a veryfunny and entertaining afternoonand well worth what I paid for theticket to sit in the dress circle.
All the special effects wereexcellent. The lighting and music
were spot on and at times they
even managed to make the stageappear at least three times as big,
very impressive.Todd Carty didnt have too
much of a singing voice, but onthe whole, he was full of energyand vitality and performed hispart as Patsy professionally and
with condence. It was a trulyspectacular performance from allconcerned.
With a wonderful music scorealong with the acting and dancing,it was an absolute cornucopia offun and laughter. There was alsoan excellent touch at the end whichI wont mention, sufce to say, Im
sure everyone will enjoy the showeven if theyre not a fan of MontyPython. In short, I loved everycontagious minute.Alan Cupit
lTaken from the TrumanCapote novel, this is probablymy favourite Audrey Hepburnlm, one I never tire ofwatching.
The main character, HollyGolightly, is played to perfectionby Ms Hepburn; GeorgePeppard, later known for hisrole in the A Team on TV,proves a worthy co-star. Holly
Golightly is an eccentric New York girl about town. Duringthe course of the lm, shesets her sights on a Brazilianmillionaire; it doesnt take theviewer long, however, to see that
her neighbour (GeorgePeppard) is really theone for her. It justtakes them both theentire lm to realise it!
This is a very funnyand romantic lm, oneof Audrey Hepburnsnest, showing thatthe late Ms Hepburncertainly had style in shed
loads. As well as GeorgePeppards excellent contribution,there are bonus appearancesby Buddy Ebsen (TVsBeverlyHillbillies) as Hollys estrangedhusband from her earlier life in
the sticks, plus Mickey Rooney
as her oriental(!) husband.Breakfast At Tiffanys is a joy
to watch and is enhanced by theOscar-winning score and thepopular song of the time,MoonRiver.Jim Timoney

Kris had a drug addiction whichseverely affected his brother and
when Kris got into recovery, theycame up with a unique way tohelp people combat addictionthrough music.
The RSS mission is to spreadawareness of the disease ofaddiction and decrease the socialstigma still associated with it. They
visit schools, colleges and other
venues around the states to gettheir message across.The National Institute on Drug
abuse has reported that there isan increase in drug dependancy,especially in teens across America.
They have released a CD calledSerenity which is the rst of itskind and its created solely to helpcombat addiction.
It was produced by aGrammy award winningproducer and features guest
musicians from bands such asKiss, Heart and The Goo GooDolls and one track from the CDwas nominated for Rock singleof the year in 2010.
The CD is also recommendednationwide by certied alcoholand drug counsellers.
Kris has also written a booktitled 30 days to serenity and willbe available spring 2011.
You can nd them on Facebook www.facebook.com/fbrockstar.I have been in touch with Kris
and Marc and they were delightedwhen I told them that I wantedto write about their project in ourmagazine.
What they have achieved isamazing and I wish them success
with this project, they deserve it.

PAST BOOk REvIEWS
Whats It All About?
by Michael Caine (OTW 20)
Caines 1992
autobiography makes
a ascinating read and
a good prelude to his
recent one. The book
gives an in-depth insight
into his childhood, National
Service days and his
struggle to make it as
an actor, ollowed by his
astoundingly successul
flm career to the date o
writing.
Liarby Stephen Fry (OTW
19) Another rather old
but very readable book,
this time by the inimitable
Stephen Fry. Although
not an autobiography
but a novel, there ismore than a hint o the
autobiographical in the
accounts o the main
characters early lie.
Oranges Are Not The Only
Fruit by Jeanette Winterson
(OTW 11) An admirable
frst novel, largely based
on the authors early
lie, presented with bothhumour and pathos. A
splendid account o taking
a stand against hypocrisy
and bigotry and winning
through in the end.
The Wasp Factory
by Iain Banks (OTW 13)
This novel is defnitely
not or the squeamish.
Although cleverly written,I can only describe it as
macabre and disturbing.
The bizarre ending
certainly took me by
surprise.

DHI Book Club meets on the frst Monday o each month to discuss a book read during
the preceding month. In this section, Jim Timoneyaims to present a brie review o
some recent Book Club titles, as well as others, thus giving a wider perspective.
blaDE ruNNErby Philip Dick(Del Rey, 1968)
lDecembers Book Clubchoice was originally calledDo Androids Dream OfElectric Sheep? The novelwent on to become the well-known lm,Blade Runner.
The story is set inJanuary 2021, post WorldWar Terminus. The main
character is Rick Deckard, abounty hunter whose job isto seek out androids (orandys) posing as humans andretire (i.e., kill) them.
I found the rst few chapterssomewhat confusing and more thana little tedious, with the pretendanimals, mood-changing computers,etc. However, I gradually became
more intrigued asthe story unfolded,especially as Rickbegins to questionhis job and thejusticationof retiringandroids. Theplot does becomemore interestingand widens toencompass morecharacters and
scenarios, whichI dont want to
give away here, and I found I beganto enjoy it more.
Although this novel is not exactlythe type of read I usually prefer, Idid get into it more than I expected.Im told the lm is much better, somaybe Ill catch it next time its onTV.Jim Timoney
aloNG CamE a spIDErby James Patterson(Warner, 1992)
lFebruarys Book Clubchoice begins with anaccount of the notoriouskidnap and murder of theLindbergh baby in 1932.It soon becomes clear that
the villain wants similarnotoriety by committingthe crime, eclipsing eventhe Lindbergh of sixtyyears earlier.
Gary Soneji, a serial kidnapperand murderer, carries out the doublekidnapping of the daughter of afamous Hollywood actress and the sonof the Treasury Secretary. Evidenceof them having been buried but kept
alive in a remote spot is discovered;however, the enquiry escalates into
one of murder whenthe boy is found dead.
There then followsan intriguing andsuspenseful plot
which grips the readerto the end - at least,it did this reader.Two brilliant andfascinating characters
bring the story tolife - Alex Cross, ahomicide detective,aided and abetted byJezzie Flanagan, the
supervisor of the Secret Service.This is just my sort of reading so I
found it hard to put down every time Icontinued with it. Its easy to see whyit became a number one best seller; Ithoroughly recommend it to any crime
novel fan, or, indeed, to anyone whowants an absorbing read.Jim Timoney

Hope. Theres a lot of it around
But lets not make a sound
Or pretend were lost in the mire
Of confusion and life.
Strife. Oh, theres hope in life all right.
Theres hope in the garden growing,I see,
With plants and seeds in the
allotment
Here before me.
Before me now starts terror and pain.
You have my sympathies -
withdrawal again.
Symptoms come and go, strikingterror into my heart.
I can do nothing about it
Except breathe slowly after dark.
Night times are the worst,
Evenings on my own.
The terror is part of the daily package.
Better get on the phone.
Ill call my mum, the Samaritans,a friend.
Theres no end to these calls
when I dont
Have to pretend.
So, yes, theres hope, but terror, too,
At never knowing who might look
at you.
Let hope reside beside peace inmy heart,
All the while getting stronger
and having a laugh.
Brokby Al Cupit
All this scream of times long gone,
when all was quiet
when peace was won.
Alas, now the pain again,
rips through us all
like acid rain.
A credit crunch does no-one well,
just takes us to another hell.
Only to hurt just some of us,
but for others, no real fuss.
Just for the poor the pain goes on,
paying for shadows that are now-
long gone ..

Iremember the very rst time I tookmy rst drink. I was approximatelynine or ten years old and was satoutside with my dad in his favouritepub. He had a pint of strong bitterthe name of which eludes me at themoment. Anyway, I asked him ifI could have a taste which he dulyobliged. I had a sip and didnt like it
at all. Dad, I said, that was horrible! Did you like it when you were alittle boy? No, son, he said. it tookme a long time before I started tolike it, will I like it when I grow upI said? I expect so son he replied.Trouble was, I couldnt know at thattender age how much that statement
was to affect my future attitudetowards drink.
The second time I dabbled in the
drink thing I think I was fourteen,at school, where me and somefriends got friendly with our schoolgardeners who would often leavea few of us fags left in secret placesfor us to have during our breaktimes. This worked out very wellfor us until he took a few of us tothe local pub near our school fora quiet drink in the pub garden.Unfortunately he said he had his
wage packet pinched so we wereall suspected. Another thing wasthat three of our teachers werealso there so it made us even amore concerned but we laughedabout it later as you do.
The CID duly turned up at ourschool and interviewed us about socalled theft of the wage packet butit was eventually considered thathe had simply lost it himself, the
fool! To this day I honestly believehe had lost it. We were little sods
but not thieves.I never really experimented with
drink again until I was fteen. Weall knew a place we could get served
in but it only really resulted inhaving the odd half pint to start
with. I honestly cant begin toexplain the thrill it used to give us
being treated like grown ups in agrown ups environment. It was afar more powerful effect than the
beer at the time.I only wish I could have realised at
that time what effect it would haveon me for the future, not only onmyself but those I loved who wereclose to me. It took many years to
build up to a very slow, downwardspiral into despair and depression.
I carried on drinking everynow and again though no morethan perhaps two or three times a
week. Starting with the bitter alesbut very quickly
Progressing to wine, spirits andthe strong lagers that would giveme the feel good factor on myodd drinking sessions.
Through my later teenage yearsmy drinking began to affect my
work and several relationships.Although not drinking every day Itended to go on very long sessions,this was in the days whenthe pubs opened for
shorter hours but weoften found somewherethat would stay openmost of the day. Failingthis, we would take a
break in the afternoonwhen they closed andthen go out again at vethirty or six oclock and hitthe nightclubs when the pubs
were closed in the evening. Often
getting home at three or four inthe morning and more often thatnot resulting in regular days off
work. I will be eternally gratefulfor having a good boss whonever once deducted my
wages much to the annoyance ofsome of my so called workmates.
It took me many years to progressto drinking every day and for a time,
when it started to worry me I wasactually able to stop for almost a
year but made a conscious decisionto start doing it again. I was trappedin an endless cycle of debts, courtappearances and hanging around
with drinkers was my normalactivity. It felt like a way of life forme, a kind of lifestyle culture.
Up to about three years ago. Iwas drinking large bottles of winefollowed by at least ve cans oflager, a bottle of Vodka between meand my friend then wed go to thelocal pub and down ve or six pintsof very strong lager, mainly Stella
on most days of the week.With the help I received from
Badas and DHI I have now cutdown from having a hundred andforty pounds bar bills on creditto around thirty pounds and nowzero. I have reduced my drinkingfrom twelve or thirteen pints in thepub to an average of six to eight
cans a day and dont go outevery day. Although still
drinking a lot more thanwhat would be acceptableI no longer drink Stellalager, spirits, cider or
wine. I accept I still havea long way to go yet butIm getting there, albeit
very, very slowly.My ultimate goal would
be to be able to go out two orthree times a week only and
just drink four or ve pints andnot drink at home so much. Imfeeling very positive but it seemsa long way off for the moment,
but Ill keep trying, thatsall I can do for now.

I have recently started a new job andlike to bring snacks in to graze onthroughout the day. Unfortunately,some of my coworkers have a realsweet tooth and many of them havebeen able to nd and demolish mysecret stash of crisps and chocolate.
No matter where I hide my snacks,they seem to be able to track themdown! What practical advice can theOff the Wall team give me?
Rpo rom OtW d m
I would suggest you mix up anychocolates you have - Revels or M&Ms
for instance - with rabbit droppings.They wont be nicking them for long.I would suggest you only bring
healthy snacks to work - no-onesgoing to want to have them!Learn to ght I say - frighten themoff!Coat individual chocolates with hotchilli sauce. Just try and keep an eyeon the ones you tampered with...
Rdr rply o lr iu 20
Lr Dr OtW
For years now, as time has gone on, Ihave tried for so long to cut down myalcohol intake ... I tried to break away
from my usual hauntsand it worked for arelatively short time
but I very soon started to slip back tomy old habits ... didnt go out the pubsso much but would generally cover thecost of drinks at home with my friendswho I didnt like to resist as they weredrinkers like me and were the only
people I knew ... What I would like toknow is do I have to give up my old
friends? Which I think I may have toand dont want to do but I desperatelyneed a contact with someone whocould perhaps advise me with certainthings to help me in my dilemma.Anonymous (Issue 20)
RplyDr aoymo
In reply to your letter I would sayNO you do not have to give up yourold friends! But maybe you should
distance yourself from them a bit?Perhaps only meeting up with them ina non drinking environment.
But I do think you need to start tomake new ones, it sounds to me thatyou would like to be a social drinker,you say you have tried but feel afailure, does this mean you want tobe abstinent? If so, have you tried AA(alcohol anonymous). This could bea place where you could make new
friends, Sober friends. and maybethere you could get a sponsor whowould give you good guidance. Hope
this helps and things work outfor you :)
