Transfer Addictions

This very hard for me to post and share. I became an alcoholic.....alcohol something I HATED since my husband is one, took me full body. I had to be hospitalized in Texas after a hard bout. I really no longer function on any level. I can go for monthsno problem and then I shoot myself in head with it again. I don't eat much, drink water, take supplements, or see a doctor.  I am no longer outgoing, wanting to just sit and hide. I hate my life so much. I visit here daily, many times but find I don't post because I don't want to interact with people..just read about their lives. I had to respond to this message because it hts home.....beware.

Monica,
Thank you for opening up.  It takes a good deal of courage.  Are you seeing anyone to help you with your depression?  Please do.  You are a good person and a valued life.  I hate to see you suffer this alone.  Are you going to AA?  As difficult as it is, please try to reach out to someone.  Staying alone just breeds more of the same.  Volunteer somewhere to take your mind off of your own problems.  But most of all forgive yourself and start again.
I am thinking of you and sending you all my strength and best wishes.

Candy, you are not alone.  None of us is alone.  All we have to do is reach out.  We all try so hard at being independent, but we aren't really are we?
Yep, went thru bankruptcy myself this year.  Not happy about it, tried to avoid it for much longer then I should have.  Beetween overspending at times, just trying to keep my head above water at others and needed repairs/items the credit cards became used too much.  Never again.  The old addage "don't count your chickens before they are hatched" is one I need to remember! 
So yes, we do seem to have addictive personalities as much as we try to hide and ignore the fact.  Don't like it, but it's the case. 
More answer then you wanted to know, but it's mine I guess.  I'm going to spend today cleaning out the closets and cleaning house!
