Seasonal Affective Disorder and alcoholism & a question from a possible sponsor [View all]

A potential new sponsor asked me if I experienced SAD, & yeah the time change, the darkness of late fall & winter do impact my mood. I am much more likely to hibernate, then drink, or want to & all the joys of white knuckling.
There are many articles on line.(https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14671737/).
I'm also going to ask the Dr to draw Vit D levels, since I have been low in the past.

This woman is smart.
