I am grateful to say that Friday, October 15, I have nine months sober. I am active in AA, and ready to do my fifth step.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Then that would make you 10 months and 5 days sober today. God bless you and good luck with the fifth step. It's really worth it, the whole thing, all the steps, and especially our higher power who I chose to call God. It got me sober, re-introduced me to a God in my life, and certainly made my relationships better. Have you started on your 8th step yet? Not trying to rush you but after the 5th, the 6th & 7th just naturally follow.

Thanks for the support. I did my fifth step a few weeks ago, and I am on Step 7. Each day, I ask God to rid me of the resentments I discussed in my Fifth Step, and I also learned in my Fifth Step that I suffer from an Entitlement Attitude, and it interferes with my relationships, and leads to my drinking, and other self-defeating and self-destructive behaviors.
I am in therapy, and working on this stuff intensely. I have an excellent Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, who is tough, and excellent inhelping me work through all my past thinking and current thinking that interfere with my recovery and progress.
