Hey there wanted to stop in and say hi. Look I think we've kind of hit a low here but the saying is true. Life is full of curve balls it's how we come out swinging that matters!!!  I've too have been down in the dumps but I think our body is going through so many changes. I did ask my brother who is my NA man. He said cranberry juice and Vit c helped him. Breathe he told me. Take life in for now. What's so bad??? Really??  He said he went up and down with his moods for a couple months. He's been sober for 4 years now.  U see I'm a planner. I like to know what to expect and when. He laughs at me and tells me every person is different. For him his cravings ended at a year?? A year ??? Wth??? Stop!!! One day at a time. Live life for today. Love life for today for u never know what tomorrow will bring ... Wow. He inspires me !!! So hopefully this will inspire u too. You know I think this is pushing me more to read my NA books  and post positive things for us...;) hang in there ok
