Tip of the Day

“In his memoir, astronaut Buzz Aldrin described his battle with alcohol abuse and depression. After returning from his mission to the moon, Aldrin felt a loss of purpose and structure in his life. He divorced his wife and withdrew from society. Aldrin says he used alcohol to numb his feelings. After getting treatment for alcoholism and depression, Aldrin served as the chairman of the National Association of Mental Health.”

Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon with Neil Armstrong on July 20, 1969.

There is NOTHING you cannot do, even conquer depression.
