Hi Scratchpad,
Thanks for the nice welcome. Hope I didn't get myself blocked right off last night. I had planned on sticking to the alternative board and staying out of trouble on the social and admin boards. My experiments with herbs and supplements is almost a full time job now.
I, too, still struggle with depression. I don't know why I occasionally drink since the klonopin takes care of the anxiety. I'm not a typical alcoholic but overdo it when I do drink. Meditation helps me more than AA. (I used to race out of AA meetings for the nearest bar)
Hang in there, yourself. I'm hoping to get back in shape and swim again this summer. This has been the roughest winter yet. I drank more since December than I had all of last year. Built another pyramid of empty bottles in the garage.
I think I'm older now than I've ever been before, too. Strangely, still hopeful.
take care,
verne
