Hi Deckard: I don't want to go on any more medication. I recently got off of a very nasty antidepressant/anxiety med (that could have contributed to my high BP) - it most certainly contributed to my weight gain. I went cold turkey off that stuff and my-oh-my that was something I never want to repeat.
But to your question - I would never have stopped the first time if I had not have been scared about my high BP. I never connected my anxiety issues with drinking. This time however, I know that both are connected.
Now the trick is to remember it and not talk myself into thinking it will be different this time.
Anyway, here it is early in the morning and I'm waiting for my coffee to finish brewing. The fire is going (because it's still cold here in the am). Got my dogs and cats snuggled up beside me and I am just happy that I am not nursing a hangover and I have big plans for living today.
