Honestly, now that I have health insurance again I may look into getting some therapy. I haven’t been this fucked up since I lost my first love 22 years ago and needed anti-depression meds to pull out of that funk. I also wasn’t a full blown alcoholic at that stage of my life, so my challenges are a bit more uphill nowadays… lol.

Therapy might be that amazing next step for you. I say, fucking go for it. Been thinking about reentering this realm myself. I’ve done couple, individual and physical abuse counseling. I am no stranger to the benefits of dumping on a professional.

Hey @alpine_1975!! It is so good to see you. I haven’t been doing so hot myself. I have been off the board for a while because of it. But just this morning I was thinking about you and came to see if you had been around. I hope you’re still doing well.
Me…it’s time to kick myself in the ass and slap myself upside the head. No more of this shit.
