Sorry I have been out of touch for a while now. Things had been going very well for a while and I have been very busy. Good news still on the wagon as far as the coke goes so I think I'm in the clear on that one. Only problem now is that I have been up for four days and have of course boudless energy. Started a computer and networking business and it has been going pretty good so far. Don't know why I feel the need to start a business when I have a full time job but what the hell I don't need to sleep so I mise well do something productive. Problem is lots of stress and seems to have driven me into a manic phase, which actually I need right now cause I have so much going on and I need to be on it 24/7.

I guess I'm kinda of selfish as I only come back here when I am having issuess, sorry I should hang around and help out when I am feeling okay. I'm happy however to be back and I'm looking foward to getting reengaged.
Hope most of you are doing well.

Beware the crash from the stress and mania. It's all about choices.

Thanks for the warning. Finally got some sleep last night so I think its coming back under control.

Good to see you back. I hope you so start to get some reasonable sleep. You do need it you know you can't make good business decisions with a prolonged absence of sleep. Good luck and I am glad things are going well for you otherwise xx

Hey I remember you! Remember sleep is so important to us Bipolar's
Call you doc if you feel like you are losing it or continue to not sleep. It may be time for a med tweak
