      I have seven years and four months sobriety, I'm the mother of three kids-I am remarried --this time to a recovering alcoholic with 20-years sober. My first husband was a cocaine addict and bad alcoholic--I have post traumatic stress and major depression and anxiety. It's been with me my whole life but became unmanageable after my life and first mariage fell apart---I have conscious flashbacks that cause major anxiety attacks as well. I seems like for the first time---

      Treatments

The disease took me to places I couldn't have thought up in my own nightmares
      Cold Turkey Working / Worked

      Residential Treatment Center Working / Worked
      This was a Godsend for me
