My mum refused to take mood stabilisers (she loves the high as well) - she takes anti-depressants (prozac) when she's on a low and has learnt to tell when she's going to be on a high so she stops a day or two before so she doesn't end up too high, but still gets the same rush.

Aloha All! Thanks for sharing a little part of your lives. We all have challenges, successes, failures, feelings, frustrations, strengths, weaknesses. After all....we are human. I know that I have walls that prevent me from opening up to people around me. That is psychobabble for being shy, guarded, insecure and what ever else prevents me from being open and honest. I guess that is why I like to hear your stories. It shows me how casual, or relaxed it can be to open up. It looks like we have a few new friends in the past couple of weeks so..... Welcome!!! Hey Sante, no one cares what you wear to church. Really. I live in Hawaii and if someone is wearing a tie you know they are from somewhere else far away. Thanks for sharing your sailing adventures. I am envious of your adventure!

Oh Barola, I am so worried about you in this very stressful time. Why aren't you going with your partner? Anyway be strong, be brave, be sober. It will not help you at all to drink. Spend some time here for encouragement. Peace.

Yes the highs, I liked them. The lows were God awful. A huge part of why I drank... now that I am on mood stabilizers and Wellbutrin XL, I get neither. I am actually happy about it. I could never understand why I drank so much and so often. Now I know it was part of my problem....

Enjoy your mom's energy

Long day at work getting ready for a new software release. Luckily the folks I work with don't get too wigged out. I was happy to drive home and not feel the urge to stop and buy a bottle of wine. That was awesome.

I come home and read this thread and I let out a huge sigh of relief and confidence. This thread is one of the best things that's come into my life lately. Each day I reflect on what's important.

Barola - hang with us every day. Read, post, build strength. You will find things to do and focus on with an AF-clear mind. A year will go by quickly or be torture depending on how you live it. Share with the group if your comfortable and make us part of your routine.

I'm going to go decompress. I have a hard time turning my brain off after an intense day. I will not do it with AL.

whew! finally home. been a very long day of driving through the most boring 450 mile stretch on earth (Vegas to Reno). but it beats the heck out of doing it with a hangover

Extra strength to AFM and Barola, you can always come to chat if you are having a time when you are tempted/stressed and someone will talk to you.

sorry not really talkative just yet....still decompressing from the drive,

be well everyone,
