I am home today. I will explain my absence. I spent several weeks in hospital and a substance abuse facility, after a failed overdose. I must return to the centre on July 10 for an 18-day treatment. I am so happy to be back. All the kind messages from my friends at h2g2 have lifted my spirit tremendously. I am trying to catch up with everyone who cares. The support is so important. I missed everyone very much. Monkey Boy, Kheldar, Gwennie, cloughie, Coely, Baron Bear Slide, No name Traveller, Shazz, Katsy, Tigger, Krunchy, Mari-rae, Pandora, I know I'm forgetting lots. I'll talk to each of you as soon as possible. I love you all. 
Happy belated B-day, Coely.

And no one's dropped in to welcome you back and wish you well 
I'm glad you're back. Take good care of yourself, and be kind to yourself. My thoughts, prayers and wishes are with you.

Thank you, BB. I have a whole new perspective on life. I have been clean and sober since May 26, which is the longest I have gone without anything in about 20 years. I don't want to put anyone through all that again.
