    About Me

    hello possible new friend: I strongly believe there is strength in togetherness and that's why I'm here. AA played a big part in my desire to be "part of" rather than the other way, terminally unique. Please write me if you want to talk. I understand Doug is testing chat for this site right now! I'm looking forward to it. KTF (Keep the Faith) GiA (God is Awesome) HD (Happy Day)

    • Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      8 days, I am a non-smoker - I love my hypnotherapist and accupuncture helps too. Thank God for the incentive program offered at work. GiA

      Treatments

      Hypnotherapy Working / Worked
      It works if you work it, so work it and LIVE!
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      3 days short of 6 months I bought a pack of cigarettes, my GP brought it to my attention that I had changed depression meds just before that - Wellbutrin helped me stop and the hypnosis and accupuncture were great fun (I'm sad today because I smoke again) I still consider myself a non-smoker
    • Open Celiac Disease

      I've always been tired and stuff. I finallly visited a med-practitioner who suggested testing for the celiac / gluten genes - I sent my DNA to TX and it came back negative for celiac but positive for GLUTEN ALLERGY, so I've started avoiding gluten.

      Treatments

      Gluten Free Diet Too Soon to Tell
      Not easy avoiding wheat and carmel color and all - Reading lots of labels. I wish someone would help!
