About Me
I am here to get help and to help if I can. If you want to know anything about me I haven't already shared message me. I'm a recovering alcoholic and addict, I have 2 types of depression, a personality disorder, PTSD, insomnia, anxiety, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, IBS, etc. Other than that like I said message me. My dad committed suicide 09/12/05. My stepmom accidentally overdosed on his medication 05/05/03 cause it looked just like a new prescription she had gotten and the guilt and how much he missed her was too much for him. I'm still not dealing with it very well. Some days are better than others though.

Hi Racheltribe, my name is Jsedona. I too am an alcoholic and drug addict. I drank Vodka by the gallons for 43yr and shot dope for 34yr mostly coke and heroin. Heroin was my drug of choice. I too suffer from insomnia, I also suffer from being bipolar, and have PTSD. I am here for you and if I can help in anyway I certainly want to do that. If you just need an ear, I am a pretty good listener. My sobriety date is 02/25/02. Although I am new to the program, I have only been at this for a little over 6 years, I work real hard at my program and my sobriety. I do love my new life, but it is difficult at times and I have my moments. This disease took my fathers life and my mother is still at it and waning at 79yr old. I would be honored to be your friend. Although I am new to this group, I have made some good friends already and receiving great support from the friends I have made. Please let me know, I would love to hear from you. Your new friend(?), Jsedona
