EQ...you truly are a 'smiley face freak" which is one of MANY reasons why I like you so much.
Olympia...hang in there. I know what you mean by wanting a physical malady. It's more tangable. Currently I'm going through a sort of trial and error stage with my own doc...so far, so good. Do you have a good, open relationship with your doc as I do with mine? Hope so...all the best.
Had my meeting with Frankie yesterday (Employment Placement Manager). it went well. As it turns out, he owned his own biz (woodworking) and still knows people in the industry. He's also in recovery. With any luck, suitable employment will 'fall into my lap'. I see him again next tuesday. Was really tempted yesterday to drink, but didn't. Gave it enough thought and played it through till the end, which would have been pig drinking 24/7. The fun of 'just one night' was outweighed by reality. Feeling good today.
Stay strong everyone, JD.
