- Hi, it's 11pm here in Sydney, on 31-12-12, and I just want to wish everyone on this site a safe, sober new year.I nearly went back out, about 10 days ago. I''m still shaky, and just wanted to share about it. A few weeks ago, my aunty sent me $50...
- Hi, I just need some input. I may be 53, but when it comes to dating and relationships, I'm not very knowing.I've been dating people over the last year, mostly unsuccessful. But I persist. anyway, there's this fella I met on a dating website. We...
- Hi, I'm 7 years sober today, and it feels good. I was at work in a hospital this evening, and then sitting at a bus stop later. A man beside me had an open bottle of alcohol, and the fumes were going up my nose. It was mildly triggering, and a good...
- I wanted to share the good news! The government here (Australia) is launching a 'royal commission' into child abuse, and the focus is on child sexual abuse. A royal commission is an extensive investigation, and lots of victims will be asked to...
- They say that alcoholism, which I have, is the only disease you think you don't have. But, I am also schizo affective, and I keep forgetting! I keep expecting more from myself than I'm able to do, I call myself lazy because there's only been one job...
- Is anyone else here scared of intimacy to the point that they've never had a long term relationship? I've had a few 'boyfriends' who were really just friends with benefits. One lasted over a couple of years, but I felt worse after being with him...
- Just thought I'd reach out. I was recently told I'm schizophrenic. I was told I was schizo affective about 20 years ago. I'm also on anti psychotics and anti depressants. From the late 80's to the late 90's I was in and out of psych hospital. These...
- Hi. Part of my PTSD comes from having been in a highly abusive drug and alcohol rehab at 27. Groups there were all about yelling and screaming at each other what a fuck up each other were. it was just crazy, and at one stage I was also ostracised...
- I guess I'm doing pretty well these days. One thing which still plagues me is that I can't handle stress. So, I've got a job i've had for 15 months part time, where I look after one patient at a time. I'm an assistant nurse. It's called...
- I'm in acute distress. I had my 14 year old cat put down tonight. Last time I had a cat put down, I wailed loudly as soon as it happened. That was 6 years ago. This time, I was very quiet for the whole ordeal, but I'm totally distressed. I have to...
- ****might trigger*****Just last week, I revisited a past traumatic time which occurred in my 20's. (I"m now 53). To try and keep it brief, a trusted drug and alcohol counsellor got sexual - I stayed involved a while, and having a breakdown. I'd been...
- Hi, I just wanted to share with fellow cat lovers. I went to a place about 2 weeks ago, a man turned up carrying a garbage bag. It turned out there was a kitten in it, and he said it'd been in there for 9 hours. I was so horrified, and got the...
- well, I just went onto one of those dating sites tonight, after about 6 months away. Got to chatting to some guy who seems nice enough. anyway, finally he said he had to go crash, could we talk later? So I gave him my phone number, He said 'thanks...
- HI, I just felt like sharing. I'm 6 years sober - this time - and am currently feeling really happy about it. I feel like I'm sane, because when I think about the last time I drank (for 11 days), I can only remember the sickness. I felt so empty,...
- today, I felt like I despise and hate my alcoholic abusers. They were my father and grandfather, and they sexually and sadistically abused me when i was little. I just hate them! I'm an alcoholic too, but I went for help early on and I don't...
