At the beginning of September I recently I tried taking my own life I was very depressed after losing my partner and children due to my lifestyle of binging on drink and drugs so days I would go drinking an not coming back for 4 days at a time.
I lost my job to a industrial accident which deemed me slightly disabled so I was in a lot of pain with my arm I had money worries so a lot of the stress was this I was in a dark place so I decided to try an end my life so I wasn't in pain anymore.. after this I decided to reach out for help an contacted cgl which is a phone call service a calming one who are helping me to try a stay off the drink an drugs currently.
I have not had a drink since that day in early September which is the longest I've not drank for at least 8 years they are also helping me strategies plans to divert my mind set on positives things to do so I don't fall back in the hole I was in.
