See!!!! Another great accomplishment on your part!!! You made it through.. Again!!
I have never doubted you! Just know that those days will come here and there. The longer you get in your recovery the less you will have. It's just knowing how to make it through those times!!

Keep up the great work!! I think you already know, but I will tell you again...

I am Proud of you friend!!

You all still amaze me, I've never met people who cared so much.  It's almost bringing tears to my eyes because I know in my heart y'all don't have to even read my pain but here you are making comments that keeps my head up.
I'm not going to make a promise on going to N/A just yet but will promise I will have numbers stored on my phone. I saved the link you gave as well. This lady sounds like a real angel to know she cared for y'all, I know she's looking down proudly.

I had a great afternoon,  I did have to stop for some advil and took 2 but soon as I got to the park, I got out and started walking.  I'm a bit stiff in my back and legs are sore but feel like I'm going to sleep very good tonight.
Cody (my son) had brought to my attention the b/c powders I bought yesterday had caffeine in it and I can't have caffeine so I believe I had a bad spell due to that.

Thank you for Keeping up with me these 2 bad days, I really wanted to give up. I'm glad I didn't go to the ER to see what I could get

I know you are scared to take that step. But nothing changes if nothing changes.
