Not drinking my PTSD has been heavy. I think drink and I won't think but if I don't think it'll always be there. To really begin to feel again, especially when its painful is maybe being a human again which I guess is what recovery is about. It's not about being easy it's about being real. Just a thought

sorry to hear you're struggling a little Fitz but you're right that drinking is definitely not the solution. I put myself in a holding pattern for years that way.

Do you have people you see for the PTSD?

Good morning Fitz,

I was thinking this morning as I walked a dog (not my dog) on this cold dark drizzly morning. I have been on my own these last 3 days with a tummy bug and yet I don't feel depressed or down. Ordinarily I would.

It got me to thinking how a shift in mood could so easily lead me to drinking. I then started to think about others who are recovering and their loads to bear while recovering. How they do it is beyond me.

I know nothing about the condition you are suffering under, I don't even know which verbs to use when talking about it.

I am posting just to say hi and show support and to say that I believe this will pass.

Take the best of care
