Close Alcoholism
Alcoholic for 22 years, since starting drinking at age 18. Finally hit my own rock bottom, with a major blackout in public. Realised I couldn't continue, or this thing would kill me. Told my family that I was alcoholic and got myself to AA. Have never regretted the decision, the best thing I ever did. Even when things get tough, they will never be as bad as when I drank. I hold onto that.
Treatments
- 12 Step Program Too Soon to Tell
- Have worked steps 1, 2 and 3, and continue to do so on a daily basis. About to take step 4, but life just seems to get in the way.
- AA Meetings Working / Worked
- I find them inspiring and very supportive
Close Vegetarians & Vegans
Type: VeganWent veggie in 1990, then gave up the dairy and eggs to become vegan in 1999. I don't find it so hard any more. Have learned to LOVE baked beans ( for you americans - heinz are the best!!) Camping in France in the summer is hard, but I just end up preparing food onsite every night. Oh, and I have eaten beans and chips in some very nice restaurants!!
Treatments
- Calcium Working / Worked
- Iron Working / Worked
- Vitamin B12 Working / Worked
Open Eating Disorders
Develped anorexia in 1998, at age 31. lost 4 stone in 3 months, and went on to lose another 3, dropping down to 126lbs (9stone) at 183cm tall ( 6 foot). This problem morphed in to bulima which remains lurking in the background. Another patient, cunning demon waiting for a moment of weakness. I battle with eating problems on a daily basis, but am trying to use the 12 steps to keep them in remission.
Treatments
- Outpatient Treatment Program Somewhat Helpful
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
