Dottie-how scary! I am sooo glad you are ok. You poor thing! You said this only happened ONCE last year??? Once is TOO many. You could have had a stroke! Seriously. Let me tell you why. My dear friend's husband is A-Fib and over the years has been hospitalized for the same issue you are having. He has been on blood pressure medication for many years, but he would not his meds at the prescribed intervals...one table 3X per day. They are meant to be time release, not to be taken all at once. Well, he refused to take one tab three times per day, and he suffered a mini-stroke. The doctor begged him to take his meds as prescribed. He refused. He suffered a second stroke and now he is paralyzed on one side of his body...he can't drive...and he has the mentality of a 5th grader. My friend is absolutely miserable, and this whole mess could have been prevented. I am pleading with you to TAKE THE MEDS...and take them as prescribed...PLEASE!!

Skendall-how scary that you had the same experience! :-( So glad you are hear with us...please pop in again soon. :-)
Nora-are you doing any better? Why are you sad?
Liz-I am glad you are having a relaxing evening with your husband. Is there a Women for Sobriety chapter near you? The tenets of WFS are similar to AA and may provide a more supportive environment for you. They hold meetings just like AA but obviously, are only for women. I have never attended a WFS meeting but a friend of mine did and really enjoyed the meeting. What kept me motivated to continue my sober journey was changing my daily routine...replacing drinking after work with exercise, and then making a list of what I accomplished each day that I did not drink. I found that I was proud of my productivity. I rewarded myself with a pedicure or a long soak in the fitness center hot tub.
Pauly-how did you feel today? Was your anxiety any better? Good luck with the herbs.
Mama-I am glad you are in contact with Zen. Please give her my best. Do you ever hear from Ruby Willow, MB? I used to love reading her posts...she was so sweet to me.
I have to be up at 3:45 AM tomorrow so I am off to bed. Long day tomorrow and then dinner with my family...so probably will not be posting but I will be reading. :-)
