Having a plan is a powerful tool for me too V, otherwise I can get mired down and let things fester too long. Generally that's not good.
Naproxen helps my back and shoulder the most, but I try not to take it every day.
Yes, many congrats on your long-term sobriety Leigh. We will all get there one day at a time. And my ambitious plan for a long weekend is to enjoy a few days of 'no shirt, no shoes, no problem' and work on my tan (sober) in beautiful Destin FL. I'll be headed back home Tuesday while the family remains behind to enjoy the rest of the week.
