I'm in a good place now, married to a woman I love, and with friends that I find both challenging and supportive.

 

My consumption of red wine, cheese and medication has reduced to a boringly sensible level, but the occasional glass of Whisky does still pass my lips, and after many years of poor sleep, I can now be confident of seven hours of unconscious rest each night. As long as I keep my battery charged, I'll be OK. I exercise a little, (but not enough), I eat a healthy diet, (but perhaps too much), and best of all, my age and experience has given me the misplaced confidence that makes me feel that I know what I'm doing.

 

If I sound complacent that's because I'm pretty happy with how things have turned out. So, be grateful that you don't know just how bad things could have been.

​

Thanks Sandra, for making this all possible.
