Hello, and thanks for all the welcomes! I must say it's nice to be greeted so warmly when I haven't even bothered to introduce myself yet!!

I found my way here via OzRecover (thanks Wombat for all your efforts there mate, and sorry you had to close).

My story is fairly typical I suppose - have suffered from depression and anxiety disorder(s) for most of my adult life and wound up "self-medicating" with alcohol. It had got to a point where the perceived need for alcohol was ruling everything else in my life, so I decided to do something about it.

I have been reading about and practising some cognitive behavioural therapy and that has struck a chord with me (more so than AA for example). My success had been limited, and I continue to struggle with regular bouts of drinking, so I am far from being "recovered" (if there is such a thing!).

Still trying to find my way around here and familiarise myself with the place, but I thought I should take the time to thank those of you who very kindly said hi.

All the best,

Fifi

Welcome Fifi, thanks for sharing a little something about yourself. I can relate to what you've posted. Yep, alcohol was my friend until it turned on me. With friends like that... I hope you find plenty of support here. There is a solution...

Hiya,

Thanks for various greetings Wolfstarr, Kellie, Wombat (mmmmmmmmmm, nice hug), Cody (WOW, love your new wheels girl hehehe), and Muse

I think this place might be my salvation ... I appear to have found something to distract me from drinking ...

Fifi
