Yeahgr8, I've been working several different angles to stay sober. I'm fortunate to have a good group of very supportive friends, I've been in therapy since December, practice meditation via the Sōtō Zen tradition and I've been using SR since I quit.
I haven't done AA as I don't really think it's a good fit for me and so far I haven't felt the need for any more support. I've started on AD meds to help with severe depression, some that I've battled my whole life, but mostly the pit I've found myself in at the collapse of my marriage. I'll be continuing to work with my therapist whilst on these meds as well.
MrG, So far the side effects seem to come and go. I'm glad the nausea and stomach issues seem to have passed for the most part and I'm just over a week in. I'm just trying to be as self-aware as possible as I'm going through this with positive thoughts that things will get better.
