Cold turkey or ween?

I'm having stomach issues in the evening... and general anxiety and depression throughout the day.  Sometimes I feel good! It's like a roller coaster ride of the emotions!  mostly bad

Cold turkey or ween?

hi Ashley!  I'm not really rewarding myself I guess?  I'm just glad to get through the hard part of the day, which is early to late afternoon, pre-dinner hours!

day 3

thanks Rusty and Ashley!

what motivates me is my will to live, and to live longer and healthier.  Last year at this time I was taking anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, anti-anxiety and sleeping pills while drinking to excess!  

Last June I took myself off the anti-depressants and anti-psychotics, but continued to drink heavily and take the sleeping pills nightly and anti-anxiety pills occasionally.  

With watching the news about Whitney Houston, I realized where I was heading also.   

I have grandchildren, (another one due in May)... and I want to be physically and mentally *here* for them

good news

well, bad news too...  yesterday I slipped 
BUT, the good news is, I don't like the hangover feeling today, and don't want to repeat it!  

There is a shift in my thinking, and I want to feel healthier and think clearer...

So today I start over!
