    • About Me

      I currently live at home with my parents who are still married. I currently work as a cook at a pizza shop. I do have my bachelor's in criminal justice, but I do not wish to work in the field. I try to get as much as I can out of life when I'm not depressed or anxious.

      Thinking of you...

    • Gold Star

      From markeichenlaub February 22

      Don't be scared at all with the 4th step. Just be honest with your HP and yourself and write everything down. That's what I did and it's still working.

    • I’m With You

      From markeichenlaub February 4

      I've been told that it is not a writen rule that you shouldn't get into any kind of relationship but i'm no expert or know everything at all. I've been sober for 2+ years and still haven't read the first 164 pages. It's a long story that i'll tell you some day but lets say i got another sponcer okay. Also myself now I will tell you my story and for me it's been hard. I have also gotten into a relationship. It's a true love story. So I say that as long as you want to be sober for the rest of your life then go for it. See this guy, meet his daughter meet his whole family because it your life. You sound like a young woman with your life ahead of you. I'm 53 years old, been married 1 time and it lasted 18 years. Have 2 kids that are grown up and now 4 grandkids. Been single for over 10 years been my drinking wrecked my marriage. It's all a long story but I say stay sober and enjoy life and be happy. I myself support you!!

      Your doing a fine job young lady. Just always remember it's a 1 day at a time program and always have hope I'm working on 3 years now myself. I don't know what brought you to the rooms but what ever go have a good time with your date. Be proud of yourself okay. Mark E

    • I’m With You

      From markeichenlaub January 20

      On July 14 I will have three years in the program okay and i've seen friends come in the rooms and right back to the street. I've had old friends die. What keeps me going is the power above and and many friends. Have HOPE and WILL POWER but most of all believe in yourself and read the first 164 pages, not once but all the time and of course, use your sponcer. Sponcers can be bad or good so if you don't have one yet, listen to people as they share and with god you will find the right one. Keep in touch and don't give in to the devil and his poison. I have cirrhosis and a little time in the program but REALLY it's only as hard as you make it. Good luck

    • Close Personality Disorders

      I have been suffering from a personality disorder for as long as I can remember. I still haven't gotten a definite diagnosis which is frustrating because I would like to start the recovery process. I'm almost positive it is BPD though.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Considering
      I am starting counseling on 6/11/07 so hopefully we can come up with a plan for me.
    • Close Depression

      I've suffered from depression for about 7 years now and have never really treated it. I have attempted suicide several times and probably anyway you can think of to try and end it all. Some days I can't even get out of bed. This is present with several other disorders at the moment. I want to try to get a handle on it before I do something stupid again.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Considering
      I am starting individual counseling on 6/11/07
    • Open Self-Injury

      I have been doing some form of self harm since I was in high school. My main way is using an knife and cutting my shoulders.

    • Open Sexual Abuse

      I was molested when I was around 12 yrs old, not sure for how many years, but repressed the memory until I was 18.

    • Open Accidents

      On Feb 23rd 2007 I let a drunk man drive my car, he hit an embankment, the car flew 20 ft in the air & hit a phone pole, I was ejected onto the road, and then he was ejected after the car hit the road and flipped over several times. He was in a coma for a wk and then died. I sustained a very bad concussion. I only remember bits and pieces, but it's effected my ability to ride in/drive a car.

    • Open Brain Injury

      I was ejected from a car the end of february 2007. My head was hit on all sides, and I had road rash on the side of my head. I am still having symptoms and want to get better.

    • Open Schizophrenia

      i was just diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and just now starting to feel better because i think they finally got my meds right

      Treatments

      Risperdal Too Soon to Tell
      I've only been on it for almost 2 wks now. so i'm still waiting for it to be at its full capacity.
    • Open Alcoholism

      I never admitted I had a problem until more recently. When I started having more black outs and worse hangovers and couldn't stop drinking just after one I realized it was time to quit.

      Treatments

      Cold Turkey Somewhat Helpful
      I had a lot of DT's when I did this.
      Willpower Somewhat Helpful
      It seems like it only works when I truly want to quit drinking. So I am going to resort to start AA meetings.
