How's it going Joe? You are on my mind, I hope you will check in soon. I'm off to do a little Christmas ahopping, I might stop somewhere and have a hot chocolate as a treat. These are two things I simply could not imagine about 12 years ago when I was in a deep depression myself. I'm so glad I reached out for help and got through it. I don't have a lot of money to spend, tomorrow the stresses of the week begin again and all the things I put off for the weekend must be addressed, but it's a nice day, I'm sober and most of all I have hope.
I hope you will keep reaching out yourself. Life isn't one big bowl of cherries, but it can be better than it feels for you now.
Sending you a warm hug.
