• 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.

Thanks to working the 12 Steps with my sponsor, I am able to say that on Sunday, January 15th, I got two years of sobriety. I was in the hospital till today, so I could not post about it till now.

I have been in AA since 1989, but never completed all 12 Steps till this sobriety. I am grateful for this sobriety, because it comes on the tails of a horrendous 2 years of relapse. Alcoholism is a progressive disease, and I can attest to that fact. I can also attest to the fact that AA's 12 Steps work, if you work them.
