Should smokers, drinkers, drug users and obese people be charged to see the doctor?When I was overweight I joined a weight watching club and the CHEMIST supplied me with healthy slimming foods and drinks. I joined a gym and an exercise class and brought the problem under control. Next I tackled my smoking habit. I went to the CHEMIST and joined a scheme whereby I was supplied with anti nicotine patches/sprays etc. Every two weeks I returned and had a consultation untill my addiction was cured. I never involved my doctor, there is nothing on my medical record to show that I asked for help. My husband died a year ago and I now have a drink problem! A bottle of wine a day! I do not want to involve my doctor at this stage as I live in a small village and I am afraid my medical records will be accessed by the receptionists who know me and would spread gossip. Drinking is a widespread problem. Self help should be available in the early stages as it is for weight problems and smoking, without the shame of being viewed as an alcoholic or involving my doctor.ViewDate:

Making a new home 'yours'I spent last summer renovating and updating my tired home. Once the dark cold wet days of Autumn arrived all work ceased! It is early spring now, in a few weeks warmer and lighter days. I am looking forward to completing many more jobs. The utility needs painting and the garage doors and porch on the front of the house.ViewDate:

Fifty shades of greyMy grey roots grow through my dyed dark hair within 4 weeks, I have an all over colour every 6 weeks so for 2 weeks I am conscious of my roots. I am going to ask my hairdresser tomorrow to highlight the front of my hair with silver. I want to prepare the way to go grey/silver when I am 70 just as my mother did.
