About Me
I am working in the field of animal husbandry right now. I have been in three failed relationships - due to alcoholism and have been in recovery for almost a year now. I am the definition of codependent and need these types of groups to remind myself on a daily basis what I need to do for myself. I don't have any children - except the four legged kind and have only been married once when I was very young. I am grateful for these forums where I can communicate with people that understand.
Interests
Wildlife photography, hiking, any four legged friends, good books, American Idol :-)

Close Codependency
Treatments
- 12 Step Program Working / Worked
- I have just ended my third relationship with an alcoholic man. I am the definition of codependent. I find the Al-anon helpful but now that I am not faced with active alcoholism on a daily basis, I feel I need a group that will help me focus on me not just my dealings with the alcoholic.
- CoDA Working / Worked
- I loved my last online CoDa group but it has been closed down so I am looking for another.

Close Depression
I have struggled with clinical depression as well as SAD for the last 15 years and just discovered medication about 5 years ago. The meds keep me pretty stable most of the time. It is not something I have spent a lot of time chatting about - talking to people other than my shrink anyway. I'm interested to see how it feels.

Open Families & Friends Of Addicts
Just got out of my third relationship with an alcoholic man. At least I got out before 15 years went by this time. I am an alanon member in other online groups and really like the supportive atmosphere and the understanding I find in these groups.
