Well since last time I entered I relapsed several times hence the whole not entering thing. But now I've been back in recovery for over 5 months. May 8th it will be 6 months. Life is like a whole different universe I am living on. I have a totally different job working in Teaneck which I had to do cause work in Monarch was a danger zone to me

Please forgive me for dropping in on you when you don't know me at all, but i'm hoping for some help for my mother.

I am a recovering alcoholic/eatingdisorder/addict and am shamelessly trolling for people with relatives in the same situaton.- to ask - do you know of any online support networks/forums for "living with a recovering addict" Like an on-line al-anon, or something? I know I am hard to live with and she needs support as much as I do.

Sorry again for the intrusion - no threat or wierdness intended, just an honest request and I promise never to bother you again if that is what you wish.

no bother

i'm not sure all i know is al-anon is for family of alcoholics im sure you can google it to get meetings in your area..I'm not sure about online help groups i don't trust that route...don't be so hard on yourself this is tough in the beginning and i think it's great you want help for your mother but make sure you keep focus on yourself. If you ever need to talk feel free to write me.

Thanks for the reply - I appreciate it. Yes, we know about local meetings, it was really online stuff I was asking about. I suppose you are right about online groups being a little more difficult to trust - there are a lot of cranks out there.
Do you mind if I add you to my friends list so that I may take you up on your kind offer of writing in the future?

most definitely...i understand what a stuggle staying clean or sober is and actually i've also struggled with eating disorders as well. Bulemia and anorexia at different points in my life. I still have a weight problem now. Now it's overeating. Ha ha I can't win. But at least i'm winning the battle of staying clean one day at a time. The rest will follow.
