Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them.
Enjoy …

About Me
Where to start....I'm a bipolar recovering addict/alcoholic. My choices were coke and scotch in the end. I was going to bed and waking up with a glass in my hand. I wasnt even getting drunk anymore, just drinking to function everyday. I got sober in prison. Got sentenced to 30 months for a violation of probation for a dui. That sentence was a blessing in disguise. I've been sober now going on 4 yrs, but whos counting . I live it one day at a time. No matter what is going on in my life I find some way to deal with it. Being bipolar I'm depressed alot lately, due to the time of the year and also its time for a med change. (appt in dec) Been dealing with the three dieases more of my life than not.

Close Bipolar Disorder
I've been on this rollercoaster for as long as I can remember. I'm 46, approx 30 of those I self medicated. Every now and again I'd take meds, but I figured why bother, I could mask the feelings my way. I've been in recovery now for almost 4 yrs, and taking my meds. When I first starting keeping track of my "ride" I started on a mixed one from about Oct through Jan for many years. For me the worst part of it is,, NOT Feeling anything, tasting nor hearing, NOTHINGNESS. Thats whatHURTS.nothingness
