What am I doing to treat my problem? There are many things.

1) I'm educating myself about myself, identifying the goods & strengthening them, identifying the bads & eliminating them one by one. I also accept the things I cannot change.
2) I refuse to continue living life unhappy, so I'm focusing on the positives more.
3) I refuse to have 'regrets' about not doing or saying things things that are important to me anymore. My life/happiness is in my control, not other people's.
4) I am working on myself, trying to change my thought patterns that were the triggers for the stress, depression & anxienty. I'm developing new techniques of dealing with them when I have those feelings.
5) I'm rebuilding old and new relationships so I have a support group, taking some of that burden off my W's hands & trying to support her more when she needs it.
6) I've stopped blaming other people and my past for my problems.

The list goes on, but I've listed some of the main ones. Mostly, it's an attitude adjustment & a realization that I alone am in control of my own happiness & success. The other major realization has been that I'm a strong mot**fu****. I don't need to get wasted when sh** hits the fan. I can be happy without getting a buzz. I love my W & kids, there are alot of things that make me happy, I don't NEED drugs or alcohol to be happy.
