TO JIM - Re: Question - Does CP = thin? - Does it = Depression?

[Guest guest]

Brigitte, I grew up in NYC and used to see the Allman Brothers every

year at the Beacon Theater. About 3 years ago I saw them on my

birthday, March 17. I must have been to at least 40 shows over the

years. I came up to Vermont to visit a friend here in '92 or '93 and

was giving up drinking, so I went to a local AA meeting in Burlington,

and while everyone was introducing themselves I heard, " Hi, my name is

Gregg and I'm an alcoholic " . It was Gregg Allman. I almost died..LOL.

I guess I forgot about the Anonymous part by writing about it. I

talked with him afterward and he said to go to the stage door at any

Allman Bros show and say Bill W sent me. He's the guy who started AA.

I never tried to do it though.

Enough about that... I experienced really bad depression just after my

Distal Pancreatectomy in '99. I went on meds for depression after

trying just about anything to get rid of it. For me, the meds were

perfect. Good old Prozac. I tried a few anti-depressants before the

Prozac, but none worked for me, until Prozac. I must sound like a

commercial...I hope this finds you everyone in good health and

cheer!....Jim
