2. I want to applaud you for staying sober and for your inner work.

In many cases this is what we need to be doing to feel better imo.

I have been off anti-D's, anti-anxieties, sleeping meds, and alcohol for years now, (after years of usage) and intend (hope) never to have to go back on them ever again.

Doing the inner work, facing the truth was the biggest key for me, using my diary daily for many years to help with this.
Sometimes talking with a counsellor/therapist was what I needed.

Daily walks with my dog are excellent for my mental as well as physical health and feeling of wellbeing.

I used the help of a Homeopathic Doctor (both medical doctor and Homeopathic-trained) to help me re-balance myself. I feel that this was a great aid in building up my health.

Look into your diet, maybe some supplements, exercise, herbs, all could be helpful imo and in my experience.

I like Dr. Weil's advice on many issues...

Nose around on his site for other tips....

Take good care and listen closely to yourself at all times......and confer with your doctor if you ever feel things are getting out of hand or over your head.

All the best to you!
