Good morning all,

I've made an appt to see the doc again on Monday and hope to get some advice on my sleeping issues. I think they are hormonal...lol, getting old isn't for sissy's

Final, one thing that I have noticed as a common denominator in the relapse cycle is stress. Everyone is so stressed these days. Work, family, money, relationships ect...an overload of stress can cause one to go back to self medicating. Hey, it's so easy to grab a bottle and numb a little....right?

This time I have done everything in my power to relieve stress, give myself a fighting chance to get deep into my recovery, take care of me. This of coarse means sacrificing some things.

But, I am willing to do whatever it takes to stay far away from the rabbit hole. After 30 years of drinking research, I was willing to sacrifice anything to rid myself of the beast.

Have a beautiful, blessed day
