A lazy Saturday morning, waiting for coffee and enjoying the luxury of no hangover. It's 8:52 am and I'm having 24 more hours of freedom!

Congratulations to today's Milestoners!!

Neoo----with an extra o, love it!

Lots going on here with our 24-hour community. Thank you for sharing.
Hugs, peace & strength to all struggling, sick or grieving.

Yay, milestoners!!
A trio of 3s- Three weeks is a great start. You've got momentum now!

Tbh guys, I'm struggling to stave off a depressive episode. I went to the shrink yesterday and she had many useful tips and suggested I get a vitamin D check. Did that, hoping that it could be the case, but I doubt it.

Dee has a great link about symptoms of depression. All but one apply to me.
The inability to concentrate or remember is a big one- It's usually a major problem- eg. yesterday I missed the exit for my appointment and ended up driving an extra 10 miles. Sheesh.

One symptom that I never have is the feeling that I want a depression to continue or that it is true in some way.
I hate and fear depressive episodes.
With that in mind, am going to try to get up the energy to go out and buy some sparkly lights for this place.

24 more hours please.

Hi there,

I am in a funk. Many wonderful things going on in my life, but I am ruminating about a difficult situation at work. My mind is playing some tricks on me, so I am starting my day over! I am making things worse

Yes, morale is low, our boss is insane, there is chaos, bullying, backstabbing..bad, bad work culture at the moment but I won't let it steal my happiness! I am so tired from all that nonsense so it's time to let go of it, have faith, and things will be ok. My thinking can cause more damage than any situation does itself. All the what-ifs.. Too tired to think about things, so I will find comfort in sobriety, love, family, friends, faith...focus on what's going so well, the gifts and blessings of my life. I will think about the tricky stuff later. Things are never, ever as bad as they seem.

I was going to make soup! What happened?? Back on track...hahaha. I am going to make soup a priority

Oh yes, 24 more of peace,

Love and strength to my friends in the24

My depression finally lifted almost 90% after about a year and a 1/2 of sobriety. I know many of us struggle with it. I hope as your sobriety continues your depression will recede. We must try and stay uplifted though as we cane! Sparkly lights, bring em on!!
