You folks have been an important part of my sobriety in the past and I'd like to start participating here again.
Hope all are well and I look forward to catching up with everyone. I kinda speed read through the last month's worth of comments so got a little sense of what's going on here. Wishing everyone a safe and sober night/Australian afternoon, etc.

Croissant, I am pleased to hear that you and your partner have resolved your issue. If he's a good man, it is all worth it.
Casey, hey! So glad to see you back here! I often think of you.
I saw my psych yesterday. I told him about my friend who is having the affair and my sadness and loneliness over it. He asked if she is a good person. She is. He said he thinks it will just take time, but is concerned that without this friendship, I am more lonely. I am. I told him I just wish I could work, but he feels with my mood disorder, I am just not able for it. I feel useless. My sibs work hard and have social standing and respect. I volunteer, but it doesn't feel enough.
Hope everyone is ok. Some days are better than others, I guess.
Thinking of you Suze, if you're checking in.

Gilmer, thanks. I don't know what I could do, medicine is all I've known in the work force. And I feel too old to retrain for anything else.
Just a down day or two. But I do feel in sobriety that I have a better chance of it being just a short while, rather than immobilizing depression that never seems to end. I'm looking forward to some nice walks when I visit my brother and his wife. They live in Alberta in the mountains.

I think counseling both individually and jointly would benefit you both immensely, Suze. I'm glad you're getting some, at least for yourself.
It's important to be able to trust each other. An objective outsider can really cut through crap and set you on solid ground.

Wow, Suze!
Rereading that, it sounded like I was saying that all your problems are a direct result of the mountains and mountains of inner crap you have!
You're no more full of crap than anyone else--but we've all got it!
I am praying for God's will to be done and for him to be glorified in this terrible circumstance.
Please forgive me for the perception of kicking you while you're down!
Sometimes I phrase things in the most tactless possible way.
Good luck Friday.
