I am very new to this,I really need it,I am having withdrawls from somone Im afraid I am going to call him.  Im dealing with three things,I just was diagnosed Manic Depressive,and Im an alcoholic and just started treatment about two weeks ago,after having alcohol poisoning,and because of my manic I got involved with an old friend who is married and Im married to.  Both spouses know now,and hes admitted hes got a problem also.  Thank God both spouses have forgiven us bothI care for this person so much,we have known eachother for ten years but only had an on again off again affair for five months.I have not talked to him since March I have seen him and his wife at the ball park due to sporting events with the kids,that was always hard,but that ended in late May.I think about him daily,and now that I am moving I am really sad that I probably will never see him again.  I am also sad about his wife since we were once friends. I remember all the good times we once had as friends new to GA and new Mothers at the same time.  Thank God for the medicine the Doctors have prescribed me.  Ok I am rambling. Thanks for listening. Is this the right board to be posting on or is there another part for newbies?

I know how hard it is to control your desires and the drugs help. I am just scared that I will become addicted to the medication.

I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you about this.

I am trying to get involved in this support group and twelve step process. I continue to put off going to a meeting because maybe this really isn't what is going on with me. I just want to talk with someone....scared to get started. I am wondering if there are other new people out there that would want to chat?

I don't know if I really need this kind of help. On one hand I think maybe I have low self esteem, but on the other hand after I receive the attention I desire and realize that maybe it's something else. It's not the fact that I love sex to the point of that's all I think about, but it's the emotional satisfaction I get out of giving satisfaction and not getting satisfaction and that scares me. I don't know why I am more fulfilled in giving than receiving? If you have any answers I would love to hear them.

The meetings Ive been to at the various groups have all been great. Everyone there shares a common problem and so its very comforting to me to realize that Im not alone.Some times I share when I feel like it and other times I don't. I hope that you will or have attended one. I have always been glad that I have gone to a meeting even when I had doubts before going.Good luck.

I'm new to this group and totally lost!!!!  I want help, but have so many questions.  I went to the chat box, but of course no one was there.  I know how you feel.  I want to talk to people like me, that have the same problems as I do, but I can't find anyone.  If you want to chat, I am usually on in the mornings and evenings.  feel free because i am as lost as everyone else.

I blog to get feelings out. I would invite everyone there but it is also about my past and wouldn't be suitable material for those of us who are trying to recover. I have drawn out some addicts of all sorts and helped myself in the process. It's easy to start blogging. Here is the host site http://www.blogger.com/start

  I went to my first meeting and found it to be an awesome inspiring meeting. What you have to realize (which I didn't until I went), everyone there is supportive not judgemental, they have or are where we are, Help is the there.

I would be glad to discuss what it's like to get started - I'm rather new myself, but I've been going to meetings for a couple of months now.

Ben, I for one would be interested in hearing your experience and I think it might inspiring to other newcomers. It's very easy to imagine things that are not true when you are wrenching in shame, like imagine that people would reject you, when in fact more than likely your circumstances and actions are very common.

I don't think there are any meetings near you. If you have already been in recovery, you want to consider posting in the STARTING A NEW GROUP forum here to see if there are others in your area who are interested in joining you in starting a new group.
