Been told I can't have counselling

Don't feel disheartened by Carmel, Anna. if you are intent on leaving the site however then please keep us informed on progress you have made rather than continued problems because it feels more like you are taking our advice then. Whatever you do though I wish you all the best with whatever support you get.

Dear Anna, I am so very sorry that Carmel has upset you, it was the very last thing

That you or anyone else wanted.. please do not let one very unpleasant person

Stop you asking for help. All the people on here have either had or still has exactly

The same problems as you and I... maybe Carmel herself has a problem with

Alcohol and finds it difficult to admit it..

You will be able to find much support and understanding on here as everyone truly

Wants to help.. don't let one person get you down, I truly hope that you get all the

Help that you need and deserve, every single person makes mistakes and every

Person deserves a second chance ( or in my case four )

Please look after yourself, I wish you all the luck in the world, you will make itxx

Please don't be disheartened Anna. This is a friendly forum. Please disregard what carmel has said to you. It wasn't helpful at all and the moderator should remove the unhelpful remarks. We are all on your side. 

I agree with the majority here Anna.  Please don't let unhelpful remarks put you off.  The rest of us are behind you all the way and agree you need and deserve all the help you can get.  

Unfortunately there are a couple of people here with very dogmatic views who don't seem able to offer empathy and compassion.  Ignore them - and stick with us,  the nice majority.  x
