: Hi All,

: I've been doing the program for about
: a month now and have just started
: on step 3. I am also taking an
: medium dose anti-depressant that I
: have been on for over a year, I am
: not able to function well without
: it and it normally works very well
: for me.

: Last week I had a couple of stressful
: situations in work that although
: would normally bother me for a
: very short while, have stayed with
: me well into this week, causing
: problems with sleep and I'm also
: feeling down for the first time in
: ages. This is really unusual as my
: medication has always stopped my
: brain from over-reacting to such
: incidents. I am drinking too much
: in the evenings (this is usual
: unfortunately), although I am
: waiting until I have food.

: Anyone any ideas? I would think that
: the program didn't work for me but
: am determined to continue due to
: the positive results so many
: people have had.

: Am I expecting too much? Perhaps it
: doesn't work with my medication -
: a serotonin re-uptake inhibitor..
: I don't know what to do other than
: keep going

My guess is that it is the alcohol
The program works. And of course it works with medication

We certainly can help. Wanna write me at kathleen@radiantrecovery.com and
we can do some brainstorming.

warmly,

kathleen
