[Sundae]

Had a call from SMART today, the agency that originally referred me to Oasis (where I was counselled by the lovely Seb.)
They are good at keeping records and following up; they called me the week before last and I explained that I was headed into hospital for my TJB (my own abbreviation, but I think it works) and they agreed to call me back this week.

I have an appointment booked for next week, and if I haven't heard back re results or acamprosate, the lady I spoke to - Jenny - will follow it up in my appointment, while I am there to give consent to her being my advocate.

Sad that these things have to reach crisis point before real help is offered.
I can't criticise anyone I've dealt with recently, just my GPs, who satisfied themselves with saying "You need to stop drinking, thanks, good-bye" back when I contacted them in October, extrememly worried.

Now it does seem I am getting real help for real problems.
