Support Groups
Close Bisexuality
I have been struggling with labeling my sexual identity for years. I first came out to my friends and family as bisexual in 2003. Then, I met a girl and declared myself a lesbian. Then, after a tumultuous relationship and even worse break up, I began exploring "the other side", again. Now, I relate mostly with bisexual, but still have a hard time understanding what that means. UPDATE: I have found an incredible woman who has recently become my girlfriend. Her name is Liz. :)
Close Families & Friends Of Addicts
My little brother is a heroin addict. I'm not sure how long he has been an addict, but I found out this summer. I have told my uncle and my parents, and while they seemed very concerned, at first, they all seem to be in denial. UPDATE: My brother has been clean since early November! UPDATE: My brother is still clean, no heroin, no pot and he's trying to quit smoking because he is trying to get into the Army!

Open Food Addiction
I have been a binge eater for years. I have tried many different things, but one thing that has helped has been reading "When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies" by Jane Hirschmann. Lately, though, I have slipped back into my old habits and have probably packed on 15 lbs. in the past month due to my binging.
Treatments

- I have done WW many times and while it helped some I feel in some ways it made me just as obsessed as I was before about food.
