I’m 63 with numerous health conditions and I feel useless. Physically, it’s hard to do much. I’ve been thinking of going back to AA and daily mass. I see others attend meetings/mass here. That’s encouraging.

I know what it's like to not be able to catch your breath. It is very scary esp. w/ mental health problems too. I do not have COPD or asthma. Panic disorder, sleep, bipolar issues too but at least no alcohol issues. I JUST live near a TON of chemical plants. I love walking/jogging outside, but sometimes they release too many chemicals in the air. Politics in TX & the US everyone  Thanks for understanding GOD and faith as well. I'm very glad you posted this.
