Thank you! The first months were hard, but I'm toddling along quite happily now WRT no pills. But sober, depressed and anxious is LOADS better than fucked up, depressed and anxious.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Glad to see you here, Strix, and I'm glad you're doing so well!

Very glad for the update Strix, though I wish sobriety had helped with the depression and anxiety. I've missed your pixels.
ION, I slept like utter CRAP last night. And work processes are running s...l...........o...................w so far this morning.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I overslept, and I'm kind of dizzy from fasting and don't really feel safe driving, so I'm watching a livestream of Yom Kippur services. This feels weird.

If anyone else wants to be at services and can't, or just is curious, livestream here: [link] It's a Reform synagogue, so the prayers are mostly in English, with a few Hebrew ones mixed in.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I hope you are able to break your fast and feel better soon, Hil.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Hil, I'm sorry you weren't feeling well enough to go to services. I hope you're feeling better after the fast.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Good for you, Strix. I know it can't have been easy.

I ended up breaking the fast early. We're not supposed to fast to the point where we feel sick, and I was feeling sick.

Thrive to spite them
Strix good to see you and congrats on 10 months.
So I am at the beach. It included a stop to deal with phone issues and I upgraded. Although after it happened I realized part of the problem stems from the power outlet in my car not working right. But I've been having battery issues.
That plus lunch took 3 1/2 hours. I did get to keep my old phone. However I did not let this or trying to merge from 116 on to 75 with a school bus in the way get me down.
Actually I handled everything pretty well and I think a few months ago I would have been over whelmed.
