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.

Hey justanobserver, how are you doing? *snuggle*
{singing} I told him, I told my husband... la la la la He was supportive and very helpful....la la la la He agrees that I should attend what will be my first AA f2f tomorrow! ....la la la I'm not scared to go anymore, I'm looking forward to it... la la la la Today is 7 days of not having that first drink... la la la la
{she stops singing with glee} Admitting that I'm an alcoholic and starting AA might not save my marriage. But, at least I don't think it will be the cause of the end of my marriage. {resumes singing} So, either way, I'm happy I told him... la la la la .
Thanks for listening to my happy song.
Hi Kanga, I'm really happy for you. You sound great. They use to tell me that you could tell when someone was getting it, because they looked like they were in love. Of course, I can't see you but I hear you loud and clear. Three cheers for success!!!Norm, I'm sorry to hear about the health scare with your ex.I'll keep her in my prayers.
I'm checking in to let everybody know that I still haven't had a drink since Jan.15. That e-aa.org site has been a lifesaver for me! It's also the reason I'm not here much lately. I get on there first, last, and in between.My husband has been putting me through the ringer since I stopped drinking, and my marriage is in the pooper. But, I still don't need a drink today! And, whenever I need an understanding ear, I go chat with my new AA friends.
The other part of the AA fellowship, that I truly love, is the people who have told me that something I said, or an experience I shared, helped THEM to stay sober. It just feels good to know that I might be helping others while finding help and support myself.
