...thanks drummergrl,

....you're so sweet...i think that i'm in the same age group as you..i'm 52 next month, but it's nice here that everyone's the same. I picked up a white chip at a NA meeting tonight. i did so well on the anniversary day of my son's death, then starting doing self-destructive things the next day. i think that i'm heading over to the subtance abuse forum to see if anyone has problems like this during manic episodes. Boy! i belong in so many forums! well, i'm going back to work tomorrow. I'm a nurse in NICU (neonatal intensive care) i love the babies, they are the only reason i can still work in nursing.
God bless you,
dorsey
