Thanks Ginger. I'm taking all the supplements and had the thyroid levels checked. I think it's emotional and will have to be worked through in both programs. Interesting that you mentioned treating myself as i would treat others. I read that somewhere yesterday, either the Alanon daily meditation or the Red Book or somewhere...I taped a post-it on my computer and wrote on it, "Be as good to yourself as you'd be to your fellow man". I look forward to learning a lot from you folks on this board.
