taking advantage
Of my net access to give a more in depth update as well as trying to get out of this "hole" & be more social. When I first got here I was in the midst of serious depression as well as deep in my desire to drank or die.
Now after all that has happened & the physical pain; I still in deep depression, but sober & no real desire to go back to that life. Social Security is being a pain. I have lost 1 of my favorite aunts & another was diagnosed with cancer. So getting away from my depression is gonna be hard.
But I am sober :-)

So glad to see you in the halls of SR
. Sorry about your aunts death and illness. Losing loved ones can be crushing. It's wonderful to hear you're sober and want to stick around and be social, I don't know if you realize this but coming from you, that's HUGE progress!
Stick around! We've missed you!

Hi Dennis. Depression can be a bastard. It's hounded me my whole life (have I said that before? ... probably). It's why I drank and used drugs but that behavior made my depression worse because I never faced my demons. I don't like facing them but now that I have I feel like I have a fighting chance. You're a strong soul staying sober through everything. Keep going. For me, sobriety is the only thing that has helped the fog of depression to lift.
I'm really glad you're here

Thanx guys. Bruce I am not concerned w\ the depression right as much as the pain .. It has really been bad. But I am hatching a plan now hoping for some relief. I am probably going to the hospital for the last time; to see if I can get meds & also a referral to a local doc. Which when taxes get in, I will be able to see a doc at least once, maybe twice while I'm here.
