Thanks Gracie, Susan and others. I am merely fishing for encouragement, compliments, and other goodies. Not so deep down, I do know that I am doing something that is worthwhile, not because of what anyone else thinks, but because I want it that way for me.
Gracie - are you still depressed to any degree or did that disappear when you stopped drinking? I suspect that my depression was not caused by drinking, but I am sure that the episodes were made more severe and lasted longer because of it.
I have problems with anxiety as well, in fact that started before I remember being depressed. I always thought the alcohol eased the anxiety or I told myself that as an excuse. I have to say that I am noticing a general lowered level of anxiety the past week or two. If I am not mistaken, it's six weeks tomorrow without a drink.
Anyway - thanks for filling my prescription for encouragement.Greg
