Oh, Trip, I know your sitch and am amazed at how far you have come in a year. I can relate to how you felt at first because I don't work. Not my choice, I was a nurse and hurt my back and am on Soc Sec. Having chronic pain can sometimes make GAL difficult. I am involved in AA (sober for almost 8 years, yay me!) but haven't been to many meetings this month. Every other time he left I felt so good, so positive, because I knew he would be back but this time I have been so depressed, can't eat, sleep, sometimes I stay in bed all day. I know this is bad for me so I started IC 2 weeks ago and Lexapro last week. Still having trouble sleeping, even with Ambien. I know what I need to do but can't seem to make myself do it- exercise, go to meetings, go to the beach, go fishing- things that make me happy. I just don't have the energy. I think I am paralyzed by fear. Praying to get over that and have the faith that things will be okay. That things already ARE okay.
