An update


What I have not said in this blog is my problem with alcohol. I began 'self-medicating' with alcohol
some years ago. I found it relieved my Asperger symptoms as well as relaxing me and making me feel better albeit temporarily. I am not of course recommending others do this.

My problem with alcohol became a real issue so that I had to seek help from an addiction service. I have been with them for over two years. I have stopped and started the booze several times. Many strategies have been tried but still I continue to drink. So as a last resort they have prescribed antabuse which is a drug you take to stop you drinking as if you drink on it you will become very ill.

Soon I will take the antabuse, then I will NOT be able to drink!
