Greg:
May I ask what you're doing when you feel anxious now? Do you "crave" a drink? Are you considering adjusting your meds, or talking to your pdoc about doing so?
I feel pretty strongly that if I can get these obsessive thoughts, which I think are part of the manic stuff going on (I believe that's the correct scientific term :)), under control, I'll be less inclined to drink. It's so bad sometimes (the thoughts). Feels like the Depakote increase is starting to take effect today, and I wouldn't touch a beer if someone paid me. Sounds super icky.
Anyhoo, I do not doubt that there will still be cravings and that the habit will make the "lifestyle" tempting, so I would appreciate any tricks you've learned to avoid temptation.
