Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.

By the grace of my HP and the program
of recovery I havent found it necessary
to pick up a drink of alcohol since 8-11-90.

For that and you I am truely grateful.

Sober Recovery has been an AWESOME
tool added to my recovery. You have been
here for me for a few many years now and
have been extremely supportive and helpful
to me and I say THANK YOU.

Today I have once again come to u for
support and help. Suggestions and to
hear of ur own experiences, strengths
and hopes on life at 50.

Oh, my goodness..! 50 yrs old....lol

Yep that's me since Dec. past.

With age come new problems with health,
life, u name it.

At 50, im embarking on a new chapter
in my life. Newly divorced as of June
last yr and now soon to be remarried
to a wonderful man whom I have been
placed with, with help and guidance from
Above. My Higher Power.

This coming Feb. 14th. is the special day.
A very simple private ceremony we both
are looking forward to.

.......what other things do we women
go thru when we hit 50? Hmmmmmmm.....
Menopause.... Yep.

Seems as tho ive been going thru this
for many yrs now, esp with hotflashes.
Of course i always thought it was because
I was a hot blooded Italian...lol

That is one reason and there is age, which
of course is just a number. Remember ur
as old as u feel....and for me i feel as
as young as my 30's...lol honest. Still
growing up in recovery years.

With age comes ailments as we know.
Things we could get over quickly when
we were young, now take longer to heal
or cure.

For me today, id like to know your own
ESH on how you are dealing with menopause.
With all the different suggestions and
techniques on how to cope with hot flashes,
mood swings, restess and sleepless nights....
what would be the simpliest, easiest way
to deal with this. There r so many natural
suppliments available and to chose from,
what do u do?

At my age today, im in good health as far
as i know. Nothing really hurts except
my left leg....i just recently realized
it is longer than my right....hmmmmm
no backpain or anything associated with
that. I feel great otherwise except i have
moderate hotflashes and restless sleepless
nights......

I remember yrs. ago on DR. Phil, his wife
shared about her own ESH on Menopause.
I wrote down all the things she took and
did and still remember most of what did.

Yrs. down the road I know there are newer
vitamines or suppliments and you try the
ones that best work for you.

So many out there, so whats best, simple and
effective in ur opinion.

Thanks for lettimg me share and thanks
for being here for me.

hi.......lovely post.

I dont know anything about menopause....apart from the fact my wife wants to rip my head off sometimes...lol...she is 52.

I can relate to the age thing.......i feel 20... i sometimes act 20...
But ive noticed that the pillow marks on my face now take all day to pop back out........instead of 2 minutes 20 years ago...

Thanks for your lovely share..........trucker
