Soda is more difficult because it is a physical addition too. Coffee isn't bad for you, have you tried substituting that in order to get the caffine?

I control my dog's diet very carefully. The only people food they get is raw meat (50% of their diet), but yesterday was heartworm preventative day and the Chicken Alfredo helped the medicine go down. Don't worry, it was homemade so it wasn't 'a heart attack on a plate.' I've often said I wish someone would control my diet like I do Lily's and Moira's.
LaurieJo, giving up soda is one of the kindest things you will ever do for your body. It's wonderful that you are cutting down. How smart of you to remember to drink your water.
I'm looking forward to another good day - one day at a time!

As some of you know I am building a Peer Wellness Program for my local mental health clinic. It is a HUGE amount of work but if only one person lives longer than the current statistics then the work will all be worth it.
My mood is doing better each day and I no longer feel the urge to cut, so that is very good. The voices are still there but not to the extent that they were.
Last night I finished hand sewing down the binding on the quilt I am donating to the Festival of the Trees. I am hoping that I can get a good picture of it this morning when I take it to the woman coordinating the silent auction.
It is sooo cold here today and it is starting to snow. Holy moly it is happening sooner than I was hoping for. But such as it happens in the winter.
I got an email yesterday from a social worker that got wind of my desire to implement this peer wellness program. She lives in Baltimore and told me that she has all the information I would ever need to build this program brick by brick. Whoa. That really floored me that this woman heard about me and then offered to send me all of that information! I am so humbled that there are people that are hearing of my efforts and are willing to help me. Who would have thought that this little (or really very big) schizophrenic who had a burden to help her peers would garner such attention?!?!? Wow.
Anyway...I am sorry I have been MIA. I will work harder at being more involved. I promise Tru. Pinky swear even!
