I too am a "surviver" and new comer to this site. Yours is the first story Ive read, however not first encountered certainly. All the other stuff people touched on I'll leave alone as to not seem repeditive. I am just about 3months in to recovery and also a former bar manager. What is it about our business that attracts "dopey's":)
I have found that any form of excercise and good diet keep the random hot/cold flashes down and twice a week I take 2 benadryl. Thats the extent of my drug use!! Its not always a smoothe sailin day, but the alternative makes it feel like a whole new drug. Good Luck, be smart and stay away from people and places that remind you of the "old" you. Its not who you are anymore!
