News of Addictions

I was prescribed some Luvox around last christmas, and I think at the same time, I was also prescribed some Abilify as well.

I have not picked up a drink in over a month. Definitely progress for me. However, tomorrow I am going out with my family to celebrate my mother's b-day. This will be my first time around alcohol since I made the decision to quit.
