Thank you for reminding us of the damage daily stress does to a person. I bet every person here has been under this kind of sustained stress.

I read a great book on the subject, "When the Body Says No" by Gabor Mate. At the time I was trying get my brain to understand that I had developed shingles b/c of my AH screaming at me and just generally being an absolute terror mentally while withdrawing from pot. I didn't really need the book to tell me what was happening to me though. Of course, AH thought I had developed shingles from the "stress" of him threatening to leave! Not!

I will never allow myself, body and soul, to go through that kind of BS again!
