Oops..forgot to mention some things!

Hey, hey, hey!
I got on here, after a long absence, and forgot to mentionĀ a life-altering decision I made in 2014. But hey, when you start gushing, you tend to leave out a few deets, right? Hee hee hee!
So I reached the big four-oh on December 4. I made it to forty, and that was a huge accomplishment for me, considering I could've succumbed to depression, delusion, and a host of other stressors that are the bane of a schizophrenic existence.
As a birthday present to myself, I resolved to never drink again. I know I shouldn't drink at all, as alcohol tends to have an adverse reaction to someone prone to hallucinations and delusions. My depression has dwindled to nothing, and I've lost ten pounds as well. Thing is, when you quit drenching your tortured mind and body with such a poison, they wind up healing. And I don't regret it at all.
Okay, IĀ sipped a teaspoon's worth of a cranberry ginger shandy just to taste, from a friend who offered it. And it did taste quite good, I admit. Self-control firmly in place, though, I didn't drink anything beyond that. Conscious is clear...time to face the New Year!
