Day 15

I am finally halfway to getting my greenchip. I can't say I feel great. I have been battling depression for the past few weeks. I just switched to a different antidepressant and hoping that this will help. I could not have done this without my higher power and my sponsor and AA. I quit before once for 9 months but I did not have the support I have now. And the prayers and meditation are helping me tremendously. I am also working the steps and am on step 3. I m very grateful and happy to be sober today. Thank you all for your support.

Thanks for expressing your gratitude so well.
When I am depressed, a gratitude list helps.
It doesn't chase the black dog away completely, 'cause it's a brain chemistry thing.
But, gratitude helps me to step out of self -- especially: self-pity.
The gratitude list is a powerful tool.
Using gratitude now . . .
Just for its own sake.

Congrats on day 15 Violet be careful with anti anxiety/depressants I am using one and it normally needs bedding in time to be effective

When I changed I had to do very gradually so not to cause imbalance

Glad its helping you Violet

Congrats on 2 weeks violet! I hope the meds get straightened out, some of them can take weeks to take full effect. Glad you have a solid plan to guide you through these tough times as well.

Well done. It's hard to battle both alcoholism and depression, I'm in the same boat, but you're getting there!
