I'm going to start putting time aside to meditate once a day. I'm still thinking about acupuncture, but I am already doing self-acupressure, which is vary relaxing.
The sun is out on this brisk day. Enjoy it!
This blog tracks my progress getting the toxins out of my body, and transforming my mood and my life. I originally quit bingeing on wine and imported cigarettes on May 17, 2010 and stayed smober for over a year, which I lost 30 pounds and changed my life, skin, and attitude. My life dramatically changes for the better without cigarettes and alcohol.

Congrats on the week of smobicity (yeah, smobriety would be more obvioius, but ...). I think daily meditation will be another good weapon in your arsenal. Speaking of which, recently I woke up with the idea of "wielding the sword of happiness" in my head (nothing to do with morning wood, fortunately... ). Thinking about it, I've realized that lately I've been using happiness as a weapon against depression and sadness and self doubt. I think it has come from a realization that I'm in control of my happiness to the point that I can actually grab it and control it and wield it whenever I wish. At the same time, I've also decided to really experience my sad times - in an effort to "get to know my enemy". I think it has made the sadness more quantifiable, understandable, and ultimately less chaotic and less scary. From what you've said, it sounds like most of the time you have a good "understanding" of your happiness, but it comes and goes on its own. Maybe thinking of it as something you can actually unholster whenever you need will help you battle the blues. Regardless, soak up the day!
