I was ashamed of my drinking and felt ashamed the next morning by how many beers I had the day before. I never really had a hangover, cuz my alcohol level had plateaued. It was just a habit. ( The only alcohol I dank was beer , throughout the day) I would quit for 2 weeks and start drinking again. I finally decided to quit and drink NA beers…. it worked for me. It worked cuz I didn’t feel like I was missing drinking. I can still socialize with friends and not feel guilty the next day.

It was like a gamble: trade one medical situation, anemia, for another mystery ailment behind door number one, two, or three.The dose of Zoloft with which a person initiates his/her treatment may determine how long the medication takes to start working. In most cases, high doses of Zoloft are more likely to provide a more noticeable effect, and possibly be perceived as “working” sooner, than lower doses. At 8:30, Nurse Casey had a little trouble fishing around for a vein and finally gave up on the one on the top side of my wrist after I sang Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’ catch that vein it’s rollin’ (parody of the theme song from an old TV show, Rawhide).

I don't remember ever feeling so incredible. I wake up looking forward to the day. I sleep through the night and work out every morning. It's a wonderful feeling to be sober!" Day 62This workout provides some practice with running at your goal marathon pace (which should feel pretty easy at this point in the training) and a chance to “blow out the tubes” and get in one more confidence boosting session.
