About Me
I am the mother of 2 smart and beautiful teenage girls. The oldest is out of the house and my baby (14) is still here with me. I've been happily married to the same sweet country boy for 17 years. I am bipolar and an alcoholic. I've been sober since August 20, 2007, WooHoo! And I plan to stay that way. I just take it day by day. I've learned that the alcohol addiction is way easier to tame than my bp disorder-- Hence joining on here- To learn more and meet others with the same problems as I have.

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
I am bipolar and I am in a very down mood, waiting to see if there is a bed available for me in the hospital at this time. I don't have any support. I'm just looking for someone to connect with while I wait.
Treatments
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- Worked great until I lost my insurance and had to go off it
Close Alcoholism
My name is Cindy and I am an alcoholic. I have been sober since 8-20-2007, but I crave a drink almost always.
Treatments
- AA Meetings Somewhat Helpful
- I attend a few when the cravings get really bad. I need to start going more and really work the program.
- Campral Not Working
- This did not work for me. It made me have bad headaches and trouble sleeping.
- Detox Working / Worked
- I went into detox for 5 days in August. I am still sober at this time.
- Outpatient Treatment Program Working / Worked
- I only go twice a month, but the sessions keep me on track.
- Willpower Working / Worked
- I never knew I had so much self control until I faced quiting the drinking.
