: Hello Everyone, I'm new to the: program but I sure recognized: myself in the book's checklist.
: And I've been having some real: success so far with diminishing: mood swings, etc. Just wanted to: mention that I was watching a: documentary on Bill W. the other: night. If you don't recognize the: name, he started Alcoholics
: Anonymous. At some point in the: documentary he says that "it: helps to eat sweets" in order: to keep a craving for alcohol at bay. Would that he knew what we: know now! (Even after quitting: alcohol, he suffered from depressions his whole life.) Many: thanks to Kathleen for this: knowledge, and best wishes to all: for a Happy--and Healthy--Thanksgiving!

Hi Artie,

Wonderful to have you here!
It actually does help cravings to have sweets :h3) They even talk about
chocolate in the big book. But there are way better ways to deal with it :h12)

I have often thought about how different Bill's life would have been if he had had this as well.
I do think that the combination of Bill and Kathleen is a nice match :)

Warmly,

Kathleen
