Sailing on calm waters

Well my meds have definitely kicked in and I have to admit that they do reduce anxiety. Having said that I had a minor attack last night but I didn't let it freak me out and it went quite quickly. I've also noticed that I'm more secure now and stopped spending long nights chatting to people about how down I am. It feels like a setback that I can't drink again and have to infect my body with chemicals but I guess it's for the best and I have to think of it as an illness and the meds as a part of the cure!
