I just got off phone with my counselor [View all]

I'munder VA care, this is not a slam on them. But he called last Friday, and told me I was withdrawing, I didn't sound right. I told him I felt pressured, from first holiday alone, and I just didn't feel " right".
Tonight, as I was taking my bedtime meds, my eye caught the label on my vitamins that they prescribed. " all natural flavors and vitamins " Berry flavor, I'm allergic to raspberries! And i have been putting small amounts of raspberries into my body twice aday, since the end of Dec.
My point is, I've been feeling worse and worse lately, I cut out all my booze since before Christmas. I read the pharmacy tag, on everything I take, I didn't read the ingredients on the bottle.
No one's fault but mine. I have a feeling, I'm gonna improve from here out. Read not only your scripts, read the bottle. A simple vitamin pulled me down, I didn't read the bottle.
