:new: Hi everyone, I'm new to this forums community, although not new to the way that forums work. I live in the UK, I'm 33 years old, a single female who lives alone with my gorgeous pussy cat for company.
I struggle with a variety of mental health issues. Alcohol addiction being one of them. But like so many of us, I use the alcohol to 'self-medicate' when I'm finding it difficult to cope with other stuff. I've also beeb battleing away with Major Depressive Disorder; OCD; and Anorexia, for more years than I care to remember.
A bit more about me... well I'm kind of familiar with the way the whole forums thing works, because I already administrate/help run a couple of of website forums of my own. Which are focused on helping people with Eating Disorders and their associated health problems (both physical and mental) to work their way towards recovery. Yes, I know it's a shameless plug to tell you it, but I'm rather proud of it, and if there is anyone here who is struggling with an eating disorder then feel free to pop over and join in the discussion boards we have going. Just check out my profile for the URL.
So why I'm here. Well for too long now I've been fighting a losing battle with alcohol, most I binge drink a couple of times a week, and I just want to stop it for good. So I'm here searching for the answers, hoping for support, and interested in making a few friends along the way.
Ok, that's me in a nutshell... I'm off to look around the forums now and just hang out for a while. :thanks: :l
