hi Windswept! Welcome to PC...

just a few thoughts, hope they help.. of course you can always come to PC for emotional support, encouragement to keep from falling off the edge... check out substance and alcohol abuse here on sight, i bet they could support your sobriety...

a book?; some project that will get you through the few weeks while friends are away...

ive heard about the SAD lights people use in winter, never tried them myself..

write us something and put it in creative?

keep reaching out, we hear you!
