Hi Shelly! Sad to say but I fell off the wagon a couple of months back when I had a manic episode. I need to pick a new quit date and do it all over again. I feel so defeated about the whole thing, but that's life. So happy to hear that you have made it through 2 whole years. That is some amazing success. Hugs. Beth
