Don’t worry now. My phone is broken and i need to be somewhere quiet to take the call.
I’m in Brixton high street now.
I’ve been addicted 2 drugs 4 yrs! Self medicating 4 ADHD. Made the mistake of turning 2 my family. 1failed detox later they told lies 2 The Sun. Instead of researching ADHD, addiction/recovery, decided to try make me think I’m made. Despite completing rehab, moving back to my house & securing work. They continue to abuse & torture me. My blog is a mixture of diary entries, emails to my DART, lyrics, with some story type tales. Welcome to my world. There’s no turning back!

Remember Jay that the present is never as bad as it 'feels' , although what you feel is very real but there are always ways to resolve problems. If I am getting this totally wrong please go to A&E or call an ambulance. You can also call the Crisis Line as they open at out of office hours on 0800 028 8000.
The Samaritans are also a very good support 116 123, it's free.
I am going to be back at the office tomorrow but maybe with less time than today to contact you but I will try to write to you.
Warmest regards,
R

Sorry R, I just desperately needed to talk to someone.
I know N isn't the best influence, but since losing my job he's the only person their for me financially.
I wish once I had completed rehab the support I had from MDART and MACs didn't just vanish. I know you do have a stage2 provision, but a twice a month chat with you on the phone would have been really beneficial
Anyway life is bad and i really don't know how much more I can take. I'm really trying... I just keep getting knocked back.
Once of my friends from rehab relapsed and died of a fatal heart attack after smoking crack. I'm so jealous. I wish it was me. She had kids to live for. I have nothing.
Sorry, don't feel obligated to reply (although it would be nice and gratefully received).
I just feel so lost, hopeless and I'm close to giving up.
Thanks R. Sorry for being a disappointment. Sorry for taking up your time if you've read this far.

Forgetting you have a weekly meeting on Monday at 3pm.
Ron, Reg & Cyra (MUST NOT BE SEPERATED!)
Ron (black 6 months), Reg (black and white 6 months) and Cyra (grey and white 10 months), are three bonded bunnies who must stay together.
They have all had traumatic pasts, and have now bonded, so they must go as a three some!
Cyra, female is neutered and vaccinated. She’s almost 1 year old. When she came to her last owner (deceased) she had been rescued from a young couple who did not know how to care for a rabbit. Cyra had outgrown her small cage, and was too naughty to be allowed to run around. Due to this, her last owner adopted her.
Cyra had sore ears from being trapped in a wet cage the majority of the time. She would purposely knock over cans of Cola and beg, like a dog for crisps and take away.
When Cyra was adopted by her last owner (sadly deceased), she was no longer confined to a small cage, and soon developed a cheeky boisterous personality.
She was a house bunny, allowed about the house with supervision. But also had her cage and pen. She was only caged at night.
However Cyra was clearly getting bored. Although her last owner gave her lots of interesting rabbit food and toys, she kept being naughty and her last owner knew she needed some rabbit companionship.
As there are no more rabbit rescues in London, her previous owner searched and searched through Gumtree.
But whenever she said she needed to bring Cyra first to see if she could bond, they were no longer interested.
Finally her last owner saw an advert for two boys who had been bonded, neutered and vaccinated.
They had sad stories too, originating from Pets at home. When their first owner went to buy Ron she saw Reg going mental. Apparently they had been bonded out of a litter and together for all their lives, bar the last couple of hours. Pets At Home didn’t care they had bonded and just wanted rid of the rabbits. So the original owner took them both. Unfortunately her disabled dogs where allergic to them.
Thankfully, they met Cyra and became a spoiled bunny trio!!
They are in a 6ft hutch with a downstairs 4ft run in good weather. When supervised, they are allowed free reign of the bunny proof garden.
When it’s cold they are brought in at dusk and allowed to play in the indoor pen, before being put into a cage at bedtime. All three are happy to be put back in the large cage for bedtime (11pm - 7am).
They enjoy lots of fresh dark greens!! Lettuce, spinach, cabbage, mint, coriander, parsley, basil. Three large bowls per day.
They always have bunny biccy’s on hand. Before bedtime they enjoy fruit (especially banana), sweet corn, carrot, etc.
They also love freshly cut grass! It has to be freshly cut, as they’re not the most intelligent and don’t have appeared to understood, that green stuff growing out of the ground is the same stuff I cut each day for them!!
Personalities!!
Cyra - she was my first!! She’s very friendly and will lick you. She has never bitten me intentionally (only by mistake when separating a fight when bonding). She’s naughty, mischievous, cheeky and loving. Now she has two boyfriends she’s definitely less naughty!! She’s the one who will struggle the most when you handle her, but it’s not hard to handle her. She loves cuddles and has the most beautiful doe eyes... she will stare right into yours and let you know she loves you as much as you love her!
Ron - he’s the most timid, and lowest of the pack. Cyra has only just started grooming him. He’s very scared with strangers (it breaks my heart you’ll be stranger number 4 for him to get used to). He’s hard to catch if you let him free! But the easiest to handle. He never kicks. He secretly loves a stroke. He’s also secretly the naughtiest one!! Keep your eye on him.
Reg - the leader!! He is definitely king and Cyra is his queen!! Thankfully Ron is their prince, so currently doesn’t need to be bonded. He’s more confident than Ron, and a little harder to handle.
Reg and Cyra are like each other’s shadows!! But more recently, Ron is there too and a. beginning to get closer to them.
They all love being stroked together!! There’s nothing more beautiful than a pile of bunnies huddled together whilst you stoke them.
They need daily cleaning of their litter boxes. They have two inside their hutch, one in their run, two in their inside cage and two in their inside run.
They need toys to chew on and toss.
They will come with everything you see photoed which their previous owner hasn’t used.
From learning, she discovered it’s better to buy proper small animal litter than use saw dust as they make such a mess with it. Plus it can give them breathing problems.
Total expenses previous owner paid
Cyra & Cage - £60
Neutering and Vacations - £80
Ron, Reg, Cage & Toys - £120
Indoor run - £60
Outdoor hutch - £80
Fly Strike Spray - £20
Litter boxes - £20
Toys - £40
For the right family (older children is a prerequisite! Rabbits are prey animals and don’t enjoy little ones picking them up roughly! So ideally aged 7+), £150.
All rabbits are neutered and vaccinated. There is now way you can get a friendlier group of rabbits, neutered, vaccinated, with this amount of accessories for a price near that.
Rabbits can live for at least 10 years, so commitment is vital.
A crazy single animal lady, like the deceased is welcome!!
