Celebration
congratulations of your sobriety. try warm heating bottles or warm bags filled with those beans. i use three at a time. one on back, one on arms, and one on legs. i made them myself with those wheat hulks or whatever they are called. heat in microwave and they are great, you do not want to start pain meds.
i made they just the size i need. good luck to you. you have had a difficult road for sure.

Support Groups
Close Alcoholism
I am an alcoholic and drug addict and have been sober for 2 years. I never wanted to get sober, but now that I am it is like a whole new world. I struggle with my feelings, but that is to be expected after suppressing them for so many years. I go to many meetings weekly and sponsor a few young women. I also have become involved in the fellowship and joined a committe called friends in recovery and we sponsor sober activites every month.
Treatments
- 12 Step Program Working / Worked
- I am very involved in the 12 step program. It has been instrumental in getting and staying sober. I work the steps, and try to incorporate them in my life.
- AA Meetings Working / Worked
- This is essential in my sobriety I attend 2-3 meetings a week. I also chair a meeting which has helped me overcome some of my insecurities.
Close Codependency
I have been co-dependant my whole life. Every relationship that I have had has been totally dysfunctional, with me trying to make everyone happy, and making myself a crazy unhappy mess, drinking and using drugs to escape.
Treatments
- 12 Step Program Working / Worked
- Writing Working / Worked
- I have read many books, my favorite is co-dependant no more by melody beattie. Everytime I read this book I find something new out about myself !
Open Depression
I have struggled with depression most of my adult life. I have a family history of severe depression. I have been on many antidepressants and also would self medicate with prescription pain meds and other drugs and alcohol to numb the pain. Currently I am not taking any antidepressants and use the AA program I am in to help me through the hard times.I question if this is a good way or if I should get back on meds, for now I am doing nothing.
Treatments
Open TMJ
I was diagnosed with TMJ in mid 90's was caused from trauma - being hit repeatedly over 11 years.
Open Military Families
I have 2 sons in the military. One son was just left for Iraq and the other is leaving for Germany in a few weeks. I am very proud that they are such strong men and have decided to live serve our Country, but I am still a Mom...worry, worry, worry. I pray for all the men and women that currently serve and those that have already served our Country. I am forever grateful for the sacrifices these brave people have made for the freedoms that we are allowed.
Open Fibromyalgia
Diagnosed with Fibro in March. Having a hard time dealing with the pain without pain meds since I am a recovering addict.
