Just like the drugs and the alcohol man, take it one day at a time.
Seriously, congratulations. We all have to grow up at some point in our lives.

Now maybe you can try to curb your insatiable appetite for starting treads.
Seriously though, congratulations on your sobriety!
Stay clean and well.
But, back to that thread issue............

Congratulations, and if the urge hits, just ask yourself what it would be like not to resort to the bad habit at this moment, it is moment to moment.

Love is the Drug

Love Is The Drug
:
T'ain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T'ain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated - spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up - what's in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where the beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can't shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me
Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me

How safe are prescription drugs?
In 1998 an extensive study published in the reputable Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed that 106,000 people die each year in American hospitals from medication side effects (4).
Let's look at this statistic a different way: 106,000 deaths a year averages out to nearly 300 deaths per day, every day. Deaths from all major airline crashes in the U.S. average less than 300 annually, but 1 airplane crash gets more media attention and governmental scrutiny than the 300 medication-related deaths which occurred not only on the same day as the airline crash, but also every day before and after for decades.
Why has this epidemic of side effects gone unrecognized? Deaths from medication reactions rarely look any different from natural deaths. There's no visible wreckage to videotape, no crash sites to fascinate and horrify TV viewers. As media people say, 'No film, no story'. Media and public relations firms, and how they shape the public's awereness, are discussed in more detail here.
Medication deaths often occur quietly in hospitals, emergency rooms and private homes. When medication-related deaths occur, it's often unclear at first whether the cause was the medication, the illness, or some other factor. In other words, to much of the media, there is nothing sexy about side effects.
The reported adverse effects of drugs are only the tip of the iceberg. Consider 'Digoxin', the best-selling heart drug. According to an article in JAMA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) receives about 82 reports each year involving Digoxin, yet a systematic study of Medicare records reveals 202,211 hospitalizations for Digoxin adverse effects in a 7-year period (5). That's more than 28,000 reactions per year, 82 of which the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hears about.

Just some news on HEART DISEASE
Perhaps the greatest evil connected with the problem of heart disease is that certain powerful drug interests deliberately suppress the truth - these are the groups which stand to benefit the most from your illness from heart disease. There is nothing as profitable to a drug company as a patient who is forced to take some drug for the rest of his life - heart medications fit in that category.
These drug interests have manipulated medical education so that even your doctor is completely ignorant of the value of other therapies. Your doctor is almost as much a victim as his patients.

Thanx for all the encouraging stuff. After having lived with this....for decades, I've been more educated and have had more questions answered within the last week, than I have had within the past 26 years, having been diagnosed, but never getting the help from MD'S.
I had to order my own liver biop for Christ sakes! My doctor told me it wasn't necessary, and that I probably was experiencing a mental health issure. And now since I've had the biopsy, I'm now in stage 1 fibrosis, and now after all these years, have some pretty unpleasant symptoms that are beginning to take their toll, and I haven't started TX yet!
Needless to say with the extra help and support of you all, I'm now going to abandon my old MD, who has told me that there was nothing wrong with me, suggesting that maby it was anxiety or depression; I am now in the process of seeking a hepatologist that is willing to treat.
