We, usually I'm jealous of whomever gets shotgun, but in this case I'm cheering! Happy day after.

Toots, I truly admire how you approach things now. Being aware and taking action on things that you didn't do before and do now is a great way to reinforce our determination to stay sober!

Happy longer days, Marcher :-)

Although I still feel crummy, I think I've finally figured out what I've got and it's fixable though not instantaneously. I have had GERD for quite a few years. I periodically taper off my meds to see if I can since there are significant downsides to them. I had been doing a very slow taper over the past year and about a month ago had gotten completely off them, successfully I thought. I hadn't noticed the symptoms creeping back. When I started focusing on what was going on about the middle of last week, it finally dawned on me that it was very likely a recurrence. This could take several weeks to fix but at least I know what I need to do. Big relief to at least know what's happening.

Happy Monday or whatever it is
