Addiction & Recovery
Related: About this forumMade it back home,
And yep, a new President! Had an eye opening month of recovery. I would say the best thing was getting proper anti-depressant med in right dose.
I feel really good,calm and clear headed. Great to hold LilBit and Mrs K again.
I'll start my 6th decade on this rock on the 23rd, sober, for first time in years. Thanks to all for the DU mojo!
34 days and counting forward,
Koz

I gave up the heavier aspects many years ago.

Have a great birthday!

not to mention finding medical conditions that can be affecting you.
it should be sop for docs to do a dna test. if you had one done back in the day, there are sited you can upload to to get a 10k parameter analysis.
the mayo test is $150. just do it.

I'm in the process of kicking a rather severe physical alcohol dependency. It's not fun. Not easy. I'm very grateful for the support of my friends and family. And the hope I get from everyone here. I have the best support group anyone could ask for.
