@instanterudite @edwardcavanough Thank you for fighting this and tweeting about this. This matter should have been subjected to an i inquiry and it is appalling that a MP can sue the ABC the public has a right to know this allegation about someone who was the AG of the country.

Extraordinary. #auspol #Porter

It’s been a while since I’ve #tweeted but I just finished a post on #abortion. I’ve had 2, both im glad I had. Not #alcohol related, but relevant to my #story

sometimes i just want to run away, but the only person I’m running from is me. Today is one of those days, after my #pulmonaryembolism diagnosis combined with my #12steps work life is feeling a tad overwhelming. But I know I will be ok!

[Starting Sober @startingsober]

Has anyone got any experience with #Zoloft or #sertraline? Especially people with substance abuse... I’ve got depression and anxiety... this is what #doctor has #prescribed #alcoholic #depression #alcoholism #depression #sober #mentalhealth #startingsober #soberposse #recovery

@AndrewW43410040 Sounds like it... your right I was buzzing once the initial panic stopped now I’m back the panic attacks..

Fellow alcoholics did you find at the 7 week mark you hit #depression? I feel so flat, unmotivated, depressed and lost... im sure this will pass but just lost atm #sobriety #sober #depression #mentalhealth #recovery #detox #alcoholicsanonymous #alcohol #alcoholic #alcoholabuse

[Starting Sober @startingsober]

@veggiemom2010 I’m thinking I may need more a visit to the doctor for more help :)

[Starting Sober @startingsober]

@NotAlcoholicBut Really? I thought it would be so easy to pick up where I left off :( feel like such a period of almost despair.... yet no reason to be unhappy :(.
How long do you think it will take to get back to normal and re establish my normal?

[Starting Sober @startingsober]

@EvansAeroMags Thank you! Yeah I’m at that stage now... I just wish it would pass.. in doing all the right things (eat healthy, drink water, exercise..) but just can’t shake the funk :(

[Starting Sober @startingsober]

@EvansAeroMags Thank you! Do you find your sobriety gets easier as the months go past? First month was about anxiety, second seems to be feeling down :(

[Starting Sober @startingsober]

@AndrewW43410040 Thank you! I’m about to go on holidays so trying to be very strong... but the depression kicked in around week 6!

[Starting Sober @startingsober]
