Very smart of you to see a doctor - my first appointment in two years was March 8, 10 days before I put the bottle down, and my BP was 186/102 - that's stroke territory ! I had eschewed the BP meds I was on because I was either only sober when the pharmacy was closed, or had chosen to spend Rx money on my other "medicine."

Just 4 days sober, my BP is still a bit elevated, but out of the danger zone, and I'm back on my meds. I'm eating a lot better (except for Chinese today for lunch ! LOL), and staying hydrated. Water and flavored seltzer are my new best friends.

Stay strong and stay connected - God Bless
