Everyone: First, a big thanks for all the support. I feel a little better today...not 100% but better.

Kathy: I read yesterday's thread again. Your comments were very relevant. I'll soon reach 100 AF days, & the counting isn't doing much for me right now. I want to keep track if only to let newbies know that it can be done. I know how important that was for me in the beginning stages.

I'm completing some tasks that I let go of before the holiday rush began, & that's helpful. I'll do some other activities that I know will lift my spirits. In short, I'll go on wo/drinking. I will not drink my way through these feelings...as solutions present themselves, I'll do something instead. By the way Kathy, I loved the good, the bad, & the ugly. That's life!

I love you all, Mary

Top of the morning ABoriginees!

I just posted a short thesis on magnesium under holistic healing....pretty neat stuff.
another good day to stay home here....looks like more weather blowing in.
I remember being so hungover that I couldn't even help my dear Dx shovel snow last year. how pathetic!!! yuck!! not acceptable. it's good to be feeling good I tell ya.
Mary have you tried taking inositol? it's very good for depression and no side effects that I'm aware of. I take mine before bed as it's also very relaxing.
off to see the wizard...be well everyone!

I'm glad my comments made some sense, Mary. I also think that part of the reason that I'm not having a post-holiday let down myself is that I have many things that I want to get to work on myself. Also, Maddy is still here for another two weeks, which is nice. Re: the winter blues, I keep reminding myself that every day, there is a little more daylight than the day before, even though it will be a while before we begin to notice.

Hey Deter, Good on You for clearing out the snow! It is good to be able to get up and do the things we want or need to do without being dazed and in pain. I didn't get many hangovers, but I was always dragging.

Keeta, Senex, and treeman, well done on your 3, 11, and 7 days, respectively. The journey can sometimes be hard, but there are lots of good things along the road too!

Whew, I'm getting tired!

Hugs to all,:l
Kathy
