    That took a lot of courage, KitKat! I'm relieved and happy that you took that step, and I'm behind you 100%. I'm so happy that you got the support you needed.

        Hello Kitkat,
        congrats on that live saving decision you made.
        About the high blood pressure. I have had really high blood presssure over the last couple of years and my MD put me on Atacand Plus, which helped some.
        I have been AF for 23 days and my blood pressure has come down between 26 and 30 % and I am feeling great. I am probably so much older than you. Just think what results a spring chicken like you could achieve, when AF.
        Wishing you all the very best.

                    I am so proud of you and wanted to let you know how brave I think you are. There are very few people who would have taken the steps you have to get better. You did and you should be proud.
                    I wish you the very, very best.

                              Thanks paula,
                              It was really hard telling my HR mgr that I have a problem, but she has been really good about it and I am on a weeks leave of absence, plus I'm going to see a counselor to see if we can find better way for me to work with my depression besides the bottle.Day 2 Af I'm afraid to drink BP is still high.

                              They have me on Librium for withdrawal anxiety, I guess its pretty addictive so I have to be careful, but at least I can now sleep. Good news is when I get back to work I can re enroll in medical insurance SIGH OF RELIEF I might have to work an extra day at work to pay for it but well worth it.

                              I haven't admitted to my extended family about the problem, mom knows and one of my close friends, and HR mgr but I don't think need to run around with a sign on my back :H

                              Thanks to everyone for support, I did go back to the drink tracker, I need to be accountable there a well!

                                Hey KitKat,

                                I'm sure it was hard telling your HR manager, but she is right. You don't have to have a sign on your back. She sounds like a savvy lady! Keep taking care of yourself! We're all rooting for you! Librium is great stuff for withdrawal when used in the manner intended, but you're right, it is very addictive. Sleep is VERRRRRRRY NICE! Rest well.

                                Hugs,

                                Kathy:l
