Maude posted an update in the group Dual Diagnosis 8 years, 11 months ago

Hey everyone I’m Maude and I’m an alcoholic. I’m excited about this forum. I have bipolar 2 and complex ptsd. I was basically untreated for twenty five years.

  Wow. I never knew about CPTSD. Amazing. I relate to it. I too was diagnosed borderline although that was later replaced with bipolar 1. Mental health roulette I guess.

I wanted to share this quote that I love:
“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.”

It makes me think of Step 4. I’m not quite ready yet to move from Step 3 but this quote reminds me that I must move forward with thi…[Read more]

Maude started the topic Codependence-The Dance of Wounded Souls in the forum Women in Recovery 9 years, 2 months ago

I’ve been doing alot of research on codependency. What I’m figuring out sober is that I was drinking so many codependent behaviors away. Or I was attempting to. Now sober I realize this is something I need to face in order to stay sober.

I think the main reason I kept relapsing is I couldn’t let go of the toxic shame I’ve had inside of me since I was real little. Plus all the shame I had from years of drinking. I also had a hard time believing there was a God out there that did…[Read more]
