I’m shaking as I write this.
I am two days post having been arrested for drink driving (blew 103). I have not been drinking for at least three and a half years, but in recent months it crept back into my life. I had stopped taking my anti-depressants and have been the sole local family support for my mother with dementia. My mother's condition has worsened recently and I was having trouble looking after myself let alone her, but by all accounts I had been pretty good at it.
I am terrified by the effect this is going to have on her. She lives fairly remotely and I won’t be able to take her to appointments or get her out and about.
