    Hi @Lonelyhourse! 😊 Welcome to the community. I really love your user name!

    It is very brave of you to admit you had an addiction. You might like to have a look at this link:

    https://www.scope.org.uk/advice-and-support/

    I would suggest you ask your GP Doctor for support for all your health issues.

    Best wishes and love to you too.

    Hi there @Lonleyhorse and welcome, well done for reaching out last night.

    I hope this community can be a welcoming and supportive place for you, as our members are showing :)
    Thanks for explaining what's been happening lately, it's really helpful and takes a lot of courage.

    Can I ask what support you're getting at the moment for your conditions from your GP?

    Did you know you can get help with dental costs if you are receiving:
    • Income Support
    • Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
    • Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance
    • Pension Credit Guarantee Credit
    • Universal Credit and meet the criteria
    The NHS website explains how to get help with costs, so please have a read if it's helpful. 

    Many congratulations for being 1 year free from smoking, that's a massive achievement :) We're here to support you, so please ask if you feel we can do anything further to help, or if you have any questions.

    I can see why you needed some sleep @Lonleyhorse. Not least because it was 1:08 am when you posted!

    I hope you had a good night's sleep in the end. If you need anything, we are all here for you  :)
