Are you dual diagnosis?

I was just kind of wondering as I came here with BP and drinking. I was diagnosed BP in 1996 but have been drinking on and off since I was 14.

I accomplished 4 years of sobriety in AA and went back out for 9 years. My drinking never got out of "control" per se but I did do some binge drinking.

I finally said enough as I knew it was affecting my meds and therefore me. That brings me to 2/21/09 and SR.

For my BP, I have taken DBT several times and currently am in therapy.

I am not in AA and not sure if I will be going back. Was wondering how some of you that may have dual diagnosis are handling your diseases.

Anything that has particularly helped?
