1 day shy of two weeks thought I'd check in :)

I'm just 1 day shy if two weeks.. which I'm really proud of. Keeping myself busy with work .. family . and healing. I have gotten into a bit of a depression .. but instead if turning to alcohol .. I went to my dr. yesterday. I'm not one for prescription pills .. but she recommended mea very low dose of trazadone.. 25mg for sleep and depression . I took half a tab last nite and slept so sound.. woke up feeling really good.. don't know if it a placebo effect or working .. but I don't care.. it will have to suffice for now. Rhere are absolutely no vravings for alcohol.. don't get me wrong.. sometimes I miss that *******.. but then I remember the many many bottoms it decided to lead me down.no thanks.. I'm really enjoying my sobriety .. feels fantastic.. have a lot of support from my hubby.. here's to you and me babe

I'm all for antidepressants if they can help you through this time. Good job on the two weeks.

Thanks,, all of the positive feedback and encouragement on SR is amazing, i thank god i found this site, its been my lifeline. Just reading stories about how many have overcome their addictions is so inspiring, it give me hope and great joy, to, without a doubt know , i can do it too.

Wow 3 years is incredible..i hope to be where you are in three years as well. Long road and a tough fight im sure, but i truly believe we have the power to do anything we set our minds too.. we just have to stay strong and believe.
