Thank-you all for your support and kind words. I'm still struggling with this, daily, alcohol is still a constant thought. I go a few days then the urge gets too strong. I never feel well anymore, my energy is non-existant most days. I used to walk 5 miles a day, that motivation is gone (my dogs are holding grudges). It becomes a cycle, the fatique and feeling under the weather depresses me, leading me to want relief.....from the bottle. I still try, I haven't given up. Lately, even not drinking, I feel hung-over in the morning. ;O( I guess the answer would be to force myself to get active again, every day, easier said than done, but I always felt my best and slept better when I walked/worked out, and ate better. Strangely enough I religiously take a handful of vitamens every day. I'm in a rut I suppose with not being active. I am on this forum daily though, I appreciate all of you, I'll get there. I went back to my Dr the other day to see what she could do about the Effexor being ridiculously expensive ($130 a month, and no insurance), she gave me 3 months worth in samples, the Effexor seems to work for my depression when I'm NOT drinking. I left there feeling God (and others, of course) were trying to help me, now it's my turn to accept the help.....Thanks again, I'm here everday and I pray for others here too, I feel your frustration, nobody is alone. I hope you all have a sober, peaceful day, thanks again.
